Traders might not be too impressed by Nvidia’s earnings report, but Wall Street analysts sure are

A largely ho-hum set of second-quarter results from Nvidia, with modest top- and bottom-line beats and guidance slightly ahead of expectations, isn’t lifting the shares today.

But the numbers were enough to fortify Wall Street’s confidence in where the stock is headed: higher.

The sell side is continuing its pre-earnings trend of big boosts to Nvidia price targets with even more of the same. The shops increasing their outlook for how high the chip designer’s stock can climb include:

  • to $235 from $220 at Bank of America

  • to $230 from $215 at KeyBanc

  • to $228 from $210 at Truist

  • to $225 from $185 at Bernstein

  • to $220 from $190 at Benchmark

  • to $215 from $170 at JPMorgan

  • to $215 from $200 at Rosenblatt

  • to $210 from $206 at Morgan Stanley

  • to $210 from $190 at Citi

  • to $205 from $200 at Jefferies

  • to $180 from $155 at Deutsche Bank

The Street is overwhelmingly in the bull camp on Nvidia, with 73 “buy” ratings, seven with “hold,” and just one “sell” rating among analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Over the past month, the average price target is up nearly 13%, its fastest growth since the period following Nvidia’s fiscal Q3 2025 report last November.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
