Here's How Nvidia Stock Extended Its Recovery Rally on Monday

Shares are Fast Approaching New High

Key Takeaways

• Nvidia stock advanced 4.4% Monday, one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500.

• The gain was due in part to Goldman Sachs reiterating its positive outlook on the company.

• Goldman was just the latest Wall Street firm to express enthusiasm about Nvidia after the stock's sharp decline earlier this month.

Nvidia extended its stock recovery and closed with the fourth-highest gains in the S&P 500 on Monday, as a large Wall Street firm reiterated an optimistic stance on the chipmaker.

Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its positive outlook on Nvidia (NVDA), and shares of the AI chip behemoth advanced 4.4%. Analysts expect robust demand from cloud service providers (CSPs) to drive outperformance by Nvidia's data center segment, despite concerns about the delayed launch of the company's next-generation chip architecture called Blackwell.

Favorable outlooks from brokerages have helped Nvidia out of a slump that accelerated at the beginning of the month amid a broader market selloff, pre-earnings concerns and doubts about the Blackwell timeline. Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, UBS and other analysts have said the correction was an opportunity for investors to buy the dip.
