← Back to Full Coverage: Stock Market Live February 24, 2026: S&P 500 (SPY) Rebounding from Monday Disaster

Analysts at Truist just reiterated a buy rating on NVDA ahead of earnings this week.

“We believe FQ4 results (and FQ1 outlook) will likely exceed consensus, and expect management to offer optimistic commentary about its products, demand, supply, and longer-term drivers,” said the firm, as quoted by CNBC.

Analysts at Citi just reiterated a buy rating on the tech giant. The firm noted that it’s recommending investors add to NVDA, as the valuation looks attractive and the stock is likely to outperform in the second half of 2026.

That’s because its status as an AI leader has made it a key bellwether for all AI stocks. The good news is that big tech companies that operate data centers, or hyper scalers, are saying they will increase massive AI capex this year, with a good chunk of that going to AI. We also have to consider that CEO Jensen Huang has said demand for the company’s new Blackwell platform data center products was “off the charts.”

Also, as noted by analysts at Wedbush, “Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026 and into 2027, the focus is already shifting toward NVIDIA’s next milestone: the Rubin (R100) architecture.
