Chip Stocks Rise as Baird Cuts NVIDIA Target and Morgan Stanley Backs Memory
· 3 sources
Chip shares including NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom gained on Wednesday despite a Baird downgrade, while Morgan Stanley commented on memory stock valuations.
What happened
Semiconductor stocks, including NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom, traded higher on Wednesday, according to Invezz and TradingKey. Intel and memory names also advanced.
A market news report says Baird sharply lowered its NVIDIA price target and questioned whether Jensen Huang will still be CEO in 2027. The report adds that buyers stepped in anyway and mentions a different view from Goldman.
TradingKey reports that memory stocks surged, with Micron among the leaders. It says Morgan Stanley argued that a pullback in valuations has improved the risk-reward profile of memory stocks.
Context
Analyst rating and price target changes often draw attention to chip companies, whose shares are closely followed as indicators of demand for artificial intelligence hardware.
Why it matters
The mix of a cautious analyst call and supportive commentary from another bank shows how views on chip valuations differ among analysts.
