Nvidia stock continues to soar as analysts raise targets to $250 on AI chip demand. Can the rally hold, or is NVDA getting ahead of itself?

One analyst boosted his price target on Nvidia’s stock to a level that would imply a $5.7 trillion market cap, with the chip maker seemingly cleared to sell its H20 chip in China again.

Nvidia said it has filed applications to resume selling H20 GPUs in China and has received assurances that licenses will be granted.

So, Nvidia and Nebius enjoy a close partnership. That's expected to be beneficial for the latter, since the AI chip giant is busy rolling out AI infrastructure around the globe. Importantly, Nebius' results make it clear that it is quickly making its presence felt in the fast-growing cloud AI infrastructure-as-a-service market.

The US government is reportedly considering loosening export restrictions, which could allow the tech giants to resume sales of some lower-end AI chips to China. This policy shift comes after April's export ban blocked chips such as Nvidia’s H20 AI accelerator and AMD's MI308.

Tech stocks were an outlier, though, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.2% to set another record thanks to Nvidia, the market’s most influential stock.
