A recent study identified one single habit that doubled Americans’ retirement savings and moved retirement from dream, to reality. Read more here.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been consolidating near the $180 range after a strong 12-month run. Shares are up 50% over the past year but are down 1.75% year-to-date, trading at $182 as of Tuesday morning. Most analysts cluster around a Street consensus target of $267.54. But following Jensen Huang's GTC 2026 keynote, BofA analyst Vivek Arya reaffirmed his $300 price target, joined by Citi and JPMorgan at the same level, representing a significant premium to current trading levels. But can NVDA realistically reach $300 by the end of 2026?
BofA sees $1.0 trillion-plus in data center sales visibility for calendar 2025 through 2027, up from prior visibility of $500 billion-plus for 2025 through 2026. Citi echoed that framing, noting the $1 trillion figure is above the Street's $950 billion estimate and carries "tens of billions" in additional upside from categories not yet included. JPMorgan added that the doubled demand visibility implies a minimum of $50 billion to $70 billion upside relative to Street consensus for 2026 and 2027 data center revenues.
