What the analyst said

Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh reiterated an Outperform rating and $250 price target on NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).

“After market-close NY Times reports CEO Jensen Huang potentially with another affair (LINK) with a NVDA direct-report employee. There are also WSJ reports of NVDA board looking to oust him as CEO and searching for a replacement CEO (LINK).

NVDA is down ~9% AH on the news. We believe NVDA’s supply-chain moat remains solid but potential future investigations and distractions could be challenging into 2027E. We believe Jensen as a founder of NVDA and one of the most successful CEOs in the tech industry could potentially step down as CEO but remain involved in a non-executive chairman capacity.

Maintain Outperform, as NVDA is a key AI enabler, but there are increasing challenges with troubles at the top.”
