The recent approval from President Trump to sell Nvidia’s chips to China has boosted the stock price. NVIDIA has told Chinese clients that it aims to begin shipping its second-most powerful AI chips to China before the Lunar New Year holiday in mid-February, according to three people familiar with the matter, Reuters reported. 

The tech major is expected to deliver a total of 5,000 ‍to 10,000 chip modules or ‍about 40,000 to ‍80,000 H200 AI chips. President Trump has allowed the export with a 25% collection fee. The green light from the U.S administered the opening of the most significant overseas market for NVIDIA. 

Amid the news regarding the developments in the chip trade to China, the Chinese tech heavyweight Tencent is reportedly trying to get legal access to Nvidia Blackwell B200 processors through the Japanese company Datasection.

The Analysts Remain Optimistic About NVIDIA Stock

Analysts from JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley maintain the ‘buy’ rating with 36.10% upside. Analysts at Jefferies have initiated a ‘Strong Buy’.

As the analysts continue to target higher, Truist Securities analyst William Stein increased the target to 275. Commenting on the bullish targets amid the growing concerns over tech overvaluations, he stated, “We recognize persistent fears and real challenges to two important resources: power to run the AI infrastructure and funding to pay for it.” He further added, “Still, based on what we know right now, we observe that (1) AI infra semis remain cheap, especially relative to their growth, and (2) we expect more upside pressure to estimates for AI infra semis than we do for diversified analog/MCU (microcontroller unit) semis.”

Yet, not everyone is happy with NVIDIA’s overwhelming dominance in the U.S AI landscape.

Michael Burry Warns that NVIDIA’s Path Will Put China Ahead of the U.S

Michael Burry, the American investor and hedge fund manager who famously predicted the 2008 U.S. housing market crash, and whose story was featured in the movie ‘The Big Short,’ is criticizing NVIDIA’s power-hungry AI pathway. According to him, the current path would lead to Chinese dominance in the AI sector in the future. 

“Nvidia’s development roadmap is essentially a power consumption roadmap.” He wrote on X.

His criticisms, expressed in a series of posts on X, came amid investor concerns rising regarding returns from AI-driven stocks. Yet, the investors and analysts remain bullish on NVIDIA.
