Nvidia (NVDA) could expand ownership, ease circularity concerns, and close its valuation gap versus peers by increasing shareholder returns, BofA Securities said in a Tuesday note.
The company's large existing positioning has been a headwind, and BofA Securities said other tech majors have addressed this and added incremental investors by winning income-oriented investors with higher cash returns.
Nvidia's shareholder returns made up 47% of its free cash flow from 2022 to 2025, compared with peers' 80%, the brokerage noted. Instead, investments continued to focus on the company's technology ecosystem, fueling concerns over circular/vendor financing, BofA Securities added.
The company is still expected to deliver its historical sales outperformance of 2% to 4% as it reports its fiscal Q1 results on May 20, the investment firm said.
BofA Securities maintained Nvidia as a top pick, and reiterated its buy rating and $320 price target on the company.
