Goldman Sachs was reported to have maintained a “Buy” rating on NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) with a price target of $283 before the company reports quarterly results on November 15th. The median forecast by analysts points to earnings of $1.72 per share on revenue of $3.24 billion.
NVIDIA shares closed lower for a third consecutive trading session on NASDAQ on Monday. It has also been the steepest daily loss since October 24th. The stock went down 7.84% ($16.13) to $189.54, after touching an intraday low at $188.68, or a price level not seen since October 30th ($185.62).
Shares of NVIDIA Corporation have retreated 2.05% so far in 2018 compared with a 1.97% gain for the benchmark index, S&P 500 (SPX).
In 2017, NVIDIA Corp’s stock rose 81.28%, thus, it outperformed the S&P 500, which registered a 19.42% return.
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari expects “an inventory correction coupled with a more prolonged (and therefore less impactful in the near-term) product cycle in the core Gaming business”, which could “drive marginal downside.”
On the other hand, according to Hari, “any reduction to estimates is likely to be transient”, while the setup going into earnings remains “positive with NVDA’s NTM P/E sitting at a ~2.5 year low of 28.8x or down 48% from its recent high of 55x in late January 2018.”
