Recently, Bank of America (BAC) raised its price target for Nvidia from $165 to $190, expressing strong confidence in the company's competitive edge and transformative prospects. Analyst Vivek Arya noted that “recent industry events,” including impressive earnings from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and a significant AI-focused event by Advanced Micro Devices, contributed to this optimistic outlook.

Arya underscored the growing presence of AI in the business sector, where Nvidia is seen as a leading partner. Last week, the stock hit a new intraday peak after TSMC reported earnings that exceeded expectations, briefly pushing Nvidia’s stock over 3% to reach $140.89.

Despite the impressive performance, Nvidia's stock faced a setback last Tuesday, dropping over 4% after reaching a record high of $138.07 the day before.
