NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) had its buy rating reiterated by analysts at Loop Capital. Loop Capital currently has a $181.00 target price on the stock. The analysts wrote, “We think investors’ concerns that data center growth has slowed and topped out are unwarranted as FQ2 was a transition quarter to Volta. With Volta ramped, we are modeling a return to double-digit growth in FQ3. We are also cautious on how much more legs the demand from crypto currency mining has and we are modeling that business to flatten out in FQ3 and decline -20% YoY in F2019. We expect strong demand in data center and gaming in F2019 to more than offset the declines of crypto and we are modeling 14% YoY and 25% YoY growth, respectively. As for the step-up in OpEx, we believe NVDA must continue to spend to maintain its leadership position. We believe there is leverage in the model in F2019 driven by revenue growth and expanding margins.””
