On October 15, 2025, Nvidia (NVDA) received a significant upgrade from HSBC, which raised its rating to 'buy' from 'hold' and increased its price target to $320, citing sustained expansion in artificial intelligence and expectations for continued earnings growth. This endorsement, along with over 90% of analysts now recommending the stock, reflects strong confidence in Nvidia's AI leadership and future prospects. Despite this major analyst action, NVDA closed at $179.83 (-0.11%) on October 15, 2025, showing little change and mirroring broader market trends, as no major economic data or corporate events shifted sentiment during the session[1].
