- Mitch Steves at RBC Capital Markets, restating an Outperform and moving from a prior $80 target, cites continuing strength in datacenter segment performance (revenue $240M; +193% Y/Y, +54% Q/Q), opportunities in deep learning and robotics sectors along with a secular growth story driven by virtual reality, autonomous driving and infotainment, and deep learning and artificial intelligence.
- Jefferies' Mark Lipacis highlights Nvidia's core gaming business (revenue $1.24B, +63% Y/Y), though notes datacenter and auto (revenue $127M, +61% Y/Y) segments represent young growth areas he expects to contribute to further upside surprises going forward.

NVIDIA (NVDA) PT Raised to $95 at Jefferies
Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis reiterated a Buy rating and lifted its price target on NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) to $95.00 (from $80.00) following blow-out results.And from Benzinga:
commented, "OctQ revs/EPS of $2 billion/$0.83 beat consensus by 19% and $0.27, implying an upward bias of ~$1 on consensus FY18 EPS, and reinforcing our thesis that NVDA is a play on 4 secular trends. Its core business, Gaming (62% of sales), grew by 63% YY, but we think its Datacenter (up 193%YY) and Auto (up 61% YY) businesses, now 18% of total, are in nascent growth stages and will continue to drive upside surprises. We estimate $5 of EPS power in 3-yrs."
