Once viewed as a market darling, Nvidia is now grappling with increased selling pressure and a decline in analyst enthusiasm.

HSBC Downgrades Nvidia’s Stock Outlook

In a notable shift, HSBC has downgraded Nvidia’s stock from bullish to neutral and reduced its price target from $175 to $120. The firm reported that although Nvidia’s revenue from AI continues to grow, it anticipates limited near-term growth potential.

Factors influencing this outlook include slower price growth in GPUs and the anticipated transition phase related to Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform, which may dampen market momentum.

Future Prospects for Nvidia

As NVDA’s stock faces mounting pressure, investors are keenly interested in whether a recovery is on the horizon. Long-term growth catalysts in AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles are still in play. However, HSBC cautions that significant revenue from these sectors is not expected in the near term. Investors focusing on Nvidia may need to brace for ongoing volatility before any signs of recovery emerge.
