NVIDIA shares rebound on Monday, Needham revises up price target, maintains “Buy” rating on the stock

Needham & Company revised up its price target for NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) to $325 from $300 previously, as it cited the companys latest stronger-than-anticipated earnings that were driven by a 70% surge in data center revenue. The asset management firm also maintained a “Buy” rating on the stock.

In the week ended on May 13th the shares of the PC tech company added 6.47% to their market value compared to a week ago, which marked a second consecutive period of gains. It has also been the best performance since the week ended on April 15th.
