Analysts are overwhelmingly positive about the stock of Nvidia, the chipmaker.
Of the 23 analysts covering Nvidia tracked by Visible Alpha, 22 have a "buy" rating for the stock, with one "hold" rating. Their consensus price target of $170 would represent an over 17% premium over Wednesday's intraday price of $144.66.

Projections for Nvidia's results have also ticked higher, with analysts now expecting third-quarter revenue to grow 84% year-over-year to $33.29 billion, driven by record sales from Nvidia's data center segment.
Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang told investors that data center revenue reached a record of $26.3 billion during the second quarter. “global data centers are in full throttle to modernize the entire computing stack with accelerated computing and generative AI.”
Shares of Nvidia edged 1.6% lower in afternoon trading Wednesday, bringing Tuesday's rally to a halt. They've nearly tripled in value since the start of the year.
