Nvidia has lost its position as the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 to Vistra, a Texas-based electric utility company. Despite this, Melius Research’s top tech analyst Ben Reitzes argues that investors should remain bullish on Nvidia due to its low price-to-earnings growth rate and the upcoming production ramp-up of its Blackwell graphics processing unit. He rates the chipmaker as a Buy with a $165 price target, implying a potential 42% increase from current levels.
