What the analyst said

Baird analyst Tristan Gerra downgraded NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $200 (from $500).

“2027 data center forecasts are being delayed due to very recent lack of visibility, with supply issues mostly the reason for a potential slowdown but also due to potential demand softening. AI hyperscaler capex could slow to 40% growth or slightly less for 2027.

While H300 lead times remain stretched and demand well exceeds supply, timing risks exist on potential preemptive order cuts from/to risk channels with exposure estimated to 10-30%.

Finally, uncertainties related to CEO tenure into 2027 also support our trading range views on the stock near-term. Neutral-rated.”
