DYAX 전담 분석

Jeff Pu, an analyst at GF Securities, raised NVIDIA's target price to $345, citing strong demand for the next-generation Vera Rubin platform as the basis. Increased orders from major cloud service providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, along with a competitive edge over custom accelerators, are projected to directly drive earnings growth.

The bullish scenario is that guidance will exceed expectations in the August 26 earnings release, proving the sustainability of AI infrastructure investments. Conversely, the bearish scenario involves supply chain bottlenecks or signs of big tech companies adjusting their AI investment pace, with Vera Rubin's actual order conversion rate and cloud Capex trends serving as key indicators to monitor.
