After Nvidia's fourth-quarter (Q4) earnings report, the company's stock surged by 15%, surprising Wall Street with better-than-expected results, particularly in its Data Center segment. Revenue reached $22.1 billion, exceeding estimates by approximately 8%, with Data Center revenue hitting $18.4 billion, a 7% difference from estimates and a 410% year-over-year increase. Nvidia also surpassed expectations with its net income and gross margin, which rose to 76.7%. The company's Q1 forecast includes revenue expectations of $24 billion and a gross margin between 76.3% and 77%.
Analysts, while still bullish on Nvidia, have set modest price targets, with an average upside of only 4%. Despite this, many analysts anticipate greater returns, with targets ranging from 9% to 19%. Nvidia's strong performance in Q4 underscores its position as a leading company, especially in artificial intelligence (AI), with continued demand expected. The company's solid leadership, growth prospects, and profitability support its high valuation, with analysts foreseeing further upside potential for its stock.
