CFO Colette Kress said the company expects 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028, well above the roughly 44% growth Wall Street had expected. Kress said customer forecasts “point to our growth doubling next year,” although she stressed that supply constraints will limit how much of that demand the company can actually fulfill, as noted by CNBC.

The firm also has an Outperform rating on the company and raised its price target to $400 from $315.
Other major Wall Street firms were also positive following NVIDIA’s report.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) maintained a Buy rating and a $350 price target. The firm highlighted NVDA’s 70% fiscal 2028 growth forecast, saying it was significantly above consensus expectations.
The bank also pointed to roughly $500 billion in cumulative multiyear supply and other commitments.

Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) maintained an Overweight rating and a $315 price target. The firm cited the company’s strong competitive position in gaming GPUs as well as its growing opportunities in data centers, high-performance computing and AI applications such as autonomous vehicles, healthcare and robotics.
Goldman Sachs Raised its Price Target to $300
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) raised its target to $300 from $285 and maintained a Buy rating. Analyst James Schneider said the company’s outlook was consistent with the most optimistic expectations among investors and created a clearer path for the stock to outperform the broader market.
JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) raised its NVDA price target to $320 from $280 and kept an Overweight rating. Analyst Harlan Sur highlighted NVIDIA’s growing involvement in financing AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA is increasingly providing financial support and other arrangements that help AI companies and data center operators raise the money needed to build new facilities.
JPMorgan believes these efforts could create new recurring revenue opportunities for NVDA beyond its traditional hardware business.
UBS (NYSE: UBS) raised its price target to $300 from $280 and maintained a Buy rating. Analyst Tim Arcuri said the company’s decision to provide a clearer forecast for 2027 was especially important. He also argued that demand remains well above the company’s official outlook and could rise further if the company can overcome supply and data center capacity issues.
Jefferies (NYSE: JEF) also has a Buy rating and a $300 price target. The firm said NVDA’s 70% growth forecast could be a floor rather than a ceiling, with demand potentially closer to 100% growth if supply were unlimited. Jefferies even sees a path toward $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2029.

For now, Wall Street appears confident.
NVDA’s latest results suggest the AI spending boom still has plenty of room to run—and that the company’s biggest growth opportunities may still be ahead.
