How NVIDIA Got Caught in a Sector-Wide Reset

NVIDIA is down 11.84% over the past month, retreating from a mid-May peak near $225.32. Even after the pullback, shares are still up 6.07% year-to-date and 29.05% over the past year, with the stock currently sitting between a 52-week low of $157.13 and a high of $236.26. The July 1 semiconductor session was ugly, with KLA down 12.3%, Micron down 8%, and AMD down 5.73% as institutions rotated out of chips.

Q1 FY2027 revenue hit $81.615 billion, up 85.23% year-over-year, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.87 beating consensus by 5.42%, the fourth straight beat. Data Center revenue reached $75.246 billion (up 92% YoY), and management guided Q2 to $91 billion, again excluding any China Data Center compute.

A 'BULL CASE' section, predicting $262.02 if drivers accelerate, highlights drivers like Blackwell 300 ramping & Hyperscaler demand, Strategic Partnerships, and Accelerated Capital Return. A 'BEAR CASE' section, predicting $218.92 if risks materialize, lists risks like Zero China Data Center Revenue, $119.0B Supply Commitments (Demand Risk), and Insider Selling in June. The bottom section, 'THE BOTTOM LINE', reiterates the 'BUY RECOMMENDATION' with a target of $252.14 (+27.62% Upside) and notes that fundamentals are intact despite the AI-compute selloff.
24/7 Wall St.

The Case for $262 and Higher

Our bull case points to $262.02 over the next year. The driver is Blackwell 300 ramping into insatiable hyperscaler demand, with 54 research firms carrying a Buy consensus and an average target of $303.84.

Strategic wins keep piling up: the Vera Rubin A5X instances on Google Cloud, a Marvell NVLink Fusion tie-up, the OpenAI 10GW deployment, and a multi-generational Meta agreement spanning millions of Blackwell and Rubin GPUs. Networking revenue tripled to $14.8 billion (up 199% YoY), showing that InfiniBand, NVLink, and Spectrum-X are becoming their own business.

Capital return has finally arrived, with the dividend lifted from $0.01 to $0.25 per share and a new $80 billion buyback approved.

The Risks Worth Watching

Our bear case lands at $218.92, roughly 10.8% above today. Zero China Data Center revenue is baked into guidance, and $119 billion in supply commitments creates real downside if hyperscaler capex ever cools.

Michael Burry is short NVDA, and insiders including CEO Jensen Huang and CFO Colette Kress sold shares on June 17 at $207.41, with Director Mark Stevens disposing of over 2 million shares in June.

The executive sales were coordinated on a single day at an identical price, consistent with pre-scheduled 10b5-1 plans rather than a panic exit. Free cash flow of $48.554 billion in a single quarter tells you demand is real.

I’d Buy It Here

Our 24/7 Wall St. Price Target is $252.14, our recommendation is buy, and our confidence is 90%. The tipping factor is the collision between an 85% revenue growth rate and a 12% one-month drawdown. I’d be a buyer here if hyperscaler capex commentary holds firm into the next earnings report. I’d stay on the sidelines if China export policy tightens further or Q2 guidance disappoints.

NVDA prediction tug of war

Looking further out, here is where our model projects NVIDIA could trade, assuming Blackwell and Rubin adoption continue on their current arc.

Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target
2026 $252
2027 $291
2028 $328
2029 $365
2030 $401

These projections assume NVIDIA continues executing on the Vera Rubin roadmap and agentic AI adoption scales as forecast. Meaningful upside or downside could come from China policy shifts, custom ASIC competition from Broadcom and AMD, or a step-change in hyperscaler capex.
