‘Nvidia Stock Is Heading to $200,' Says Top-Rated Analyst

Nvidia (NVDA) just got a fresh vote of confidence from Wall Street. Indeed, top-rated analyst Thomas O'Malley at Barclays has raised his price target on the AI chip giant from $170 to $200 while maintaining a Buy rating. With NVDA shares already on a powerful run in 2025, the new target suggests that there could still be plenty of upside ahead.
Confident Investing Starts Here:
Here's Why Barclays Is More Bullish on Nvidia
Barclays' new price target implies a potential upside of 39% from current levels, which is significantly higher than the Wall Street average of almost 20%. The price target increase is largely based on strong supply chain demand, which suggests strong performance in the second half of the year.
Interestingly, after reviewing Nvidia's supply chain following its Q1 earnings, Barclays spotted around $2 billion in potential upside for July compared to Wall Street expectations. As a result, the firm raised its full-year Compute revenue forecast to $37 billion, up from $35.6 billion. For context, compute revenue forecast estimates how much a company expects to earn from its computing products or services over a time period.
Barclays also noted that Nvidia's new Blackwell chips hit 30,000 wafers per month in June, which is below its earlier estimate of 40,000. However, the firm noted that factory usage remains strong, and the overall tone of the supply chain is optimistic for the second half of the year. That gives Barclays more confidence in Nvidia's performance for October.
Furthermore, analysts at Barclays highlighted that system sales are gaining momentum and are expected to make up around 25% of revenue in July and around 50% by October.
What Is the 12-month Price Target for Nvidia?
According to TipRanks, NVDA stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 35 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell assigned in the last three months. At $172.36, the Nvidia share price target implies a 19.7% upside potential.

Pope Leo's AI warning

The Big Story Pope Leo XIV sounded the alarm this week over artificial intelligence (AI)'s potential impact on young people's intellectual and neurological development, building upon one of the main focuses of his papacy. © Vatican Media via Associated Press The first American pope delivered the message to an annual conference on AI and ethics, part of which took place in the Vatican this week. 'All of us, I am sure, are concerned for children and young people, and the possible consequences of the use of AI on their intellectual and neurological development,' the pope said. 'Our youth must be helped, and not hindered, in their journey towards maturity and true responsibility.' The pontiff described how new generations have unprecedented, quick access to data and information, while noting they must not confuse this access to data with intelligence. 'In the end, authentic wisdom has more to do with recognizing the true meaning of life, than with the availability of data,' Leo said. Leo acknowledged AI has been used in positive ways, pointing to research in health care and science. But he warned of the possibility the emerging technology can be used for 'selfish gain at the expense of others' or 'to foment conflict and aggression.' The pope said AI, especially generative AI, 'also raises troubling questions of its possible repercussions on humanity's openness to truth and beauty, on our distinctive ability to grasp and process reality.' Since being elected pope in early May, Leo has made the risks of AI on humanity a key priority of his papacy. In his first official address to cardinals in May, the pope warned of the challenges AI poses to the 'defense of human dignity, justice and labor.' The mission resembles that of Pope Leo XIII, who pushed for workers' rights amid the industrial revolution, and a Vatican spokesperson told media outlets the name choice was 'not a casual reference.'

Crypto exchange Coinbase has obtained a license to operate in the European Union (EU) under the bloc's relatively new regulatory framework for digital assets. The company announced Friday that it has secured a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license, allowing it to operate in all 27 European member countries. Coinbase also plans to establish its European crypto hub in Luxembourg, after receiving its license from the country's Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). 'This is a pivotal moment for Coinbase, Luxembourg, and Europe's growing crypto ecosystem,' the exchange said in a press release. 'We look forward to continuing to contribute to Europe's vibrant economy, unlocking growth, and increasing economic freedom across the region.' As crypto firms seek MiCA licenses in Europe, the U.S. continues its slow forward march toward establishing its own regulatory framework. The Senate voted 68-30 Tuesday to pass the GENIUS Act, a bill creating regulatory rules of the road for one form of cryptocurrency, known as stablecoins. President Trump threw his weight behind the legislation Wednesday, urging the House to quickly pass the bill without any major additions.

OpenAI's Altman slams Mark Zuckerberg, ignites drama

OpenAI's Altman slams Mark Zuckerberg, ignites drama originally appeared on TheStreet. The race for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) continues getting spicier. Except it's a lot less like a sprint, but more like a high-stakes soap opera starring the biggest minds in the tech world. 💵💰💰💵 The relentless push spans big-money bets and headline-making hires, all of which are part of a broader play to avoid coming in second. Needless to say, there's plenty on the line here. However, the public mud-slinging between AI leaders, especially over talent, is what's catching everyone off guard. It appears the gloves are off in the AI talent war, and the industry's needle-movers are swinging for the fences. The space is seemingly shifting from hype to execution, and everyone's looking to see who cracks AGI first. AI powerhouse OpenAI's ChatGPT lit the fuse three years ago, when suddenly, AI could chat, code, and riff like a 2023, we saw its models getting smarter, quicker, and more creative, with the likes of Google, Anthropic, and Meta Platforms () joining the race. That ushered in the open-source surge, proving top-tier AI wasn't just at the mercy of Big Tech. Now the focus is on AGI-superintelligent systems that can think, learn, and outsmart humans across the board. To put things in perspective, Superintelligent AI, or AGI, isn't just your regular chatbot. It's a transformative force that may revolutionize everything from drug discovery to enterprise software. For tech giants like Meta Platforms () , this may entail embedding intelligence across their ecosystem. From their ubiquitous social platforms to VR worlds, this could create new revenue streams and defend against disruption. Unsurprisingly, the stakes go way beyond just market share. Governments view AGI as a national security asset. Retaining the industry's cream, coupled with regular breakthroughs on home turf, has become geopolitical. More On Meta Platforms Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms move Google plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move WhatsApp is making a change that users won't like Hence, the victors won't just dominate tech in this ongoing war for AI's future; they could potentially reshape the global economy as we know it. Consequently, a talent war is heating up, and the company that cracks AGI first could dominate the decade. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman didn't hold back. In a podcast hosted by his brother, he revealed that Meta Platforms dangled $100 million signing bonuses to lure OpenAI staff, only to fail. 'None of our best people have decided to take them up on that,' he AI trailblazer framed the offers as mostly desperate and misguided. 'I don't think that's going to set up a great culture,' Altman said, taking a dig at Meta's compensation-first recruiting strategy. He also discussed OpenAI's edge in the fast-evolving race for superintelligence and long-term value. 'People look at the two paths and say…OpenAI has got a really good shot,' he added. Altman believes a great team is built on a collective purpose and the aim to accomplish something revolutionary. He also slammed Meta's AI efforts to date 'have not worked as well as they hoped,' suggesting a lack of an innovative culture might be the chief reason. The remarks came just days after Meta committed $14.3 billion to Scale AI and tapped its CEO, Alexandr Wang, to lead a new superintelligence project. The project aims to achieve AGI, transcending normal human intelligence. Moreover, reports suggest Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg set out to recruit 50 top engineers and researchers to form his dream team. Perhaps a big part of Meta's recent AI push likely stems from its lukewarm reception compared to ChatGPT and DeepMind's models. After shelling out billions on his metaverse vision, Zuckerberg pivoted, chasing the next big thing in AI to stay in the game. If the plan works out, Meta's superintelligence play could reshape it all, covering everything from content to complex tasks to even an advanced version of the metaverse. It's a moonshot move, but one that could pay many dividends down the road. To bring that to life, it's already made some huge moves. Perhaps the biggest is its $14.3 billion bet on leading data labelling and annotation provider Scale AI for roughly 50% of the business. That's Meta's largest deal since its WhatsApp acquisition for $19 billion (the largest in the company's history). Scale AI's 28-year-old spunky CEO, Alexander Wang, will lead the new superintelligence team. Zuckerberg needed a sharp, Altman-style operator to fast-track AGI and win the commercial AI race. Also, it's important to note that Meta's talent hunt didn't stop at OpenAI. Of late, it has gone straight for DeepMind's core, snagging big names like Koray Kavukcuoglu (a key architect at Google). Meta also successfully poached Dr. Jack Rae, a principal researcher known for cutting-edge models from Google DeepMind. Also, it successfully tapped voice AI expert Johan Schalkwyk from startup Sesame Altman slams Mark Zuckerberg, ignites drama first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

How Supply Chain Leaders Can Flip The Customer Experience Script With AI

Christian Hyatt is the CEO and Co-Founder of risk3sixty. As a cybersecurity expert, he has overseen more than 2000 engagements. If you've ever ordered a package online only for it to end up lost, you know how frustrating the experience is. You're left wondering where your package disappeared to, and when you contact the company, that team has to scramble to figure out the answer. The team often tries hunting down the missing package by searching the warehouse, reviewing the order system, contacting the carrier, etc. In the interim, they may not be able to give you a clear answer, and you might end up having to push them to get a reshipment or refund. Lost packages are one of the many examples of poor customer experiences resulting from the siloed, reactive and disconnected state of supply chains. Other examples of poor customer experiences include wrong packages being delivered, package tracking issues, a lack of control over how and when items are delivered and customer service that is not consistent and not personalized. However, AI can help companies tackle these issues. By leveraging AI, supply chain leaders have the opportunity to transform the customer experience. Why Many Supply Chains Still Haven't Caught Up To Consumer-Centric Thinking Many supply chains, I've observed, still haven't caught up to consumer-centric thinking. In my view, that lag stems from the historical B2B mindset in the supply chain world. Before Amazon, many of the stakeholders in the supply chain world were primarily geared toward serving other businesses. FedEx, UPS and DHL, for instance, started by serving businesses, not consumers. In the supply chain world, the B2B mindset prioritizes driving down unit economics as much as possible. And part of driving down unit economics? Offering standardized services, including a one-size-fits-all approach to the customer service experience. This tends to work well in B2B contexts but less so in B2C ones. For instance, when a business reports a missing package, it expects to work through standard channels to resolve the issue, such as filing claims and waiting for an investigation. However, when a consumer reports a missing package, they typically want an immediate response and a faster resolution. Research has shown just how much a good customer experience matters. A 2022 survey of 1,000 Americans by omnichannel solutions provider Mitto found the following: 'In the past year, 80% of respondents said they experienced at least one delivery delay. A majority (55%) of consumers have canceled a delayed shipment because of a bad customer experience. And when asked whether bad CX or a product delay is worse, over three-quarters (76%) of respondents indicated bad CX.' How AI Can Help The Supply Chain World Move Toward B2I To keep up with consumers' preferences, I believe the supply chain world needs to go one step beyond shifting to a B2C mindset—it needs to shift to a business-to-individual (B2I) mindset. An article in Strategy+business (s+b), an outlet run by PwC, put it well by stating that nowadays, whether organizations succeed is 'based on their ability to build and maintain lasting relationships with individuals.' B2I is personalization at scale. Achieving personalization has historically, overall, been a costly and friction-filled process. However, AI can help supply chain leaders create personalized, predictive and proactive customer experiences. Specifically, leveraging AI, leaders can bridge the gap between their customers and their supply chain systems, thanks to real-time tracking, personalized communication and automated issue resolution. For example, say you order a package from a company that uses AI to refine the customer experience. Your package gets lost. You go to the company's website and enter your tracking number. On the backend, the AI-powered technology can gather various data points, such as the carrier assigned to the package, geographic data and traffic conditions to determine what likely happened to your package. The AI-powered solution can also highlight your purchasing history with the company—you happen to have a high customer lifetime value, having made 100 different purchases in the past two years. With that information, the AI-powered solution can begin investigating the issue with your package and working toward the correct resolution. Simultaneously, through the AI-powered customer service interface, the company can send you an apology, acknowledge that it knows you're a long-time customer and offer you the option of either shipping you a new package or giving you store credit worth the value of the missing package. Moreover, it can adjust its communication style based on its inference of your preferences from past interactions. In turn, you, the customer, receive a more streamlined, friendlier experience that's likely to leave you with a good impression of the company. How Companies Can Navigate The Risks AI Poses AI, however, is not without its risks. Supply chain and other company leaders need to consider data privacy concerns, the potential for AI solutions to hallucinate and the possibility that their teams will misapply AI. Rather than viewing AI as an all-encompassing solution, supply chain and other company leaders need to carefully think through its limitations and risks and ensure they're in compliance with all applicable regulations. Additionally, given that implementation is often expensive and time-consuming, it's important that supply chain and other company stakeholders carefully think about the problems they're trying to solve, rather than focusing on potential solutions. By understanding the problems they're trying to solve, leaders can evaluate potential vendors through the lens of those problems and also evaluate whether they want to build their own AI solutions in-house. When it comes to the buy versus build debate, I recommend that leaders weigh whether they have the time and resources to build their own solutions and whether doing so would detract from their primary organizational more and more factors arguably become commoditized in the business world, I predict that in the future, reputation will be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, differentiators for companies. And in a world where a brand can be destroyed with just a single post online that reaches the right audience, it's vital that companies strengthen their reputations by offering great experiences to consumers. Despite the risks that AI poses, I believe it stands to help positively change the customer experience in the supply chain world—and by extension, help companies strengthen their reputations.
