New stock forecasts for Nvidia (NVDA) have emerged on Wall Street, predicting an upside of around 50% from current levels. Nvidia (NVDA) stock has seen steady growth since 2025, up over 40% year-to-date. While other AI-focused stocks like AMD and Intel (INTC) outperformed NVDA in terms of growth, NVDA remains the focal leader in AI and semiconductors. Going into 2026, many investment experts are bullish, suggesting further gains in the new year.

The latest bullish projection comes from five-star analyst C.J. Muse at Cantor Fitzgerald. On average, Wall Street analysts see the stock climbing just over 40% in 2026, fueled by strong AI demand and Nvidia’s growing leadership in high-performance computing. However, Muse last week reiterated his Buy rating and $300 price target on NVDA, implying nearly 60% upside from current levels.

The Cantor analyst also noted that while AI-related stocks have faced pressure from risk-off sentiment and bubble fears, he believes the market is overlooking the bigger opportunity. He sees these concerns as exaggerated and points to a new wave of AI demand emerging.

Arya went on to set a $275 price target for Nvidia, implying roughly 56% upside.

The growth will be driven mainly by the need for real-time analytics and advanced AI models, the study read. With Nvidia already the company with AI market dominance, this could mean further gains for NVDA stock.
