Nvidia’s stock is back in the headlines, and for good reason. The chip giant’s shares have surged to near record highs, capping off a dramatic recovery from a rocky start to the year. What’s behind this latest rally? It’s a combination of bullish analyst forecasts, easing U.S.-China trade tensions, blockbuster earnings, and Nvidia’s continued dominance in the AI hardware space.
Earlier in 2025, Nvidia’s stock took a hit—dropping 17% in January—after China’s DeepSeek AI threatened to chip away at Nvidia’s market dominance and U.S. export controls cast a shadow over future sales. But fast forward to June, and the narrative has flipped. Not only has Nvidia fully recovered those losses, but it’s also pushing new highs, with shares climbing 2.6% to $151.74 on June 25, just shy of its all-time peak
The latest boost came after Loop Capital raised its 12-month price target for Nvidia from $175 to $250, citing explosive growth in AI compute demand. Their analysis suggests that spending on hyperscale cloud and AI “factory” infrastructure could hit $2 trillion by 2028, potentially justifying a $6 trillion market cap for Nvidia.
That’s a staggering projection, but it lines up with what we’re seeing in the market: heavy institutional buying, declining short interest, and a technical “golden cross” pattern that’s historically signaled major uptrends for Nvidia.
Nvidia isn’t just riding the AI wave. The company announced its new RTX 5050 graphics card, priced at $249 and offering a 60% performance boost over the previous generation. This move targets the massive base of legacy GPU users and is expected to sustain Nvidia’s gaming revenue growth into the next quarter.
Perhaps the biggest tailwind has come from Washington. Recent policy changes have eased U.S.-China trade tensions, with the Commerce Department rolling back some AI chip export restrictions and both countries agreeing to lower tariffs for a 90-day window. These shifts have reassured investors that Nvidia can continue to thrive—even with China largely off-limits—by doubling down on data center and AI infrastructure markets elsewhere.
Despite the rally, Nvidia isn’t running unopposed. The AI chip sector is seeing fierce competition, with rivals like Micron and KLA posting even bigger gains so far this year. Still, Nvidia’s Q1 earnings—$44.06 billion in revenue, up 69% year-over-year—underscore its leadership in the AI chip space. The company’s data center business, in particular, is booming, with a 73% revenue jump that’s fueling bullish analyst forecasts for the rest of 2025.
Nvidia’s 2025 rally is a story of resilience and reinvention. Strong analyst confidence, favorable policy changes, and relentless demand for AI hardware have put the chipmaker back in the driver’s seat. While competition is heating up, Nvidia’s track record and technological edge make it the company to watch as the AI revolution accelerates.
