The stock opened Monday at $173.065, touched a weekly high of $179.92 and a low of $148.80, with a full-week amplitude of 17.98%. Day by day, shares finished Monday at $178.670, slipped to $168.890 on Tuesday, recovered to $173.730 on Wednesday, then tumbled to $166.190 on Thursday and closed at $162.850 on Friday. The pattern was a sharp pullback after an early-week rebound attempt. ## Key Events The dominant story was Jensen Huang’s departure, which erased more than $600bn in market value at one point and forced Wall Street to rethink the AI trade’s reliance on founder-led governance. The fallout spilled into Washington, with Bessent publicly blaming Lutnick as a White House feud over Nvidia erupted. Elon Musk said he was signing a petition to reinstate Huang, and Nvidia employees rallied behind the former CEO. Chip names including AMD, Broadcom and Applied Materials sank alongside, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sliding more than 5% in one session. Dip-buyers were visible too: Nvidia’s 2x leveraged ETF attracted $254m in a single day, while Soros Fund Management and Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan disclosed cuts to their Nvidia stakes. ## Analyst Ratings Among 62 covering institutions, 38 rate it buy, 10 overweight, 13 hold and 1 no opinion; none assign underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, with a consensus target of $283.30755, roughly 73.97% above the latest price. Target prices range from $174.000 to $515.000, pointing to wide disagreement on the long-term path. Nvidia ranks first in the semiconductor industry, where total coverage spans 78 institutions. Needham and DA Davidson lowered their price targets this week but stayed bullish despite CEO-transition concerns. ## The Week Ahead Nvidia reports fiscal Q3 2027 results next Tuesday (17 Nov) after the close, with consensus at $2.4688 EPS and $108.7bn revenue. The same day brings US retail sales, industrial production and NAHB housing data. The Anthropic IPO also looms as a fresh valuation reference for the AI trade. With earnings and macro data colliding, whether Nvidia can hold above the $148.80 low is the most direct question heading into the week. ## In Short Nvidia fell 12.75% this week as Huang’s exit exposed concerns over governance and crowding in the AI trade. The sell-side remains tilted positive: 48 of 62 institutions rate the stock buy or overweight, and the consensus target sits more than 70% above spot. Yet target prices stretch from $174 to $515, showing how split the long-term view is. On valuation, roughly 20.35x P/E and 17.14x P/B sit at the lower end of the historical range, while the latest session’s large-lot flow leaned negative, with about $104m net selling from large orders. The next catalyst is next Tuesday’s earnings: whether results can anchor the valuation, and whether the governance premium loss over Huang’s exit starts to fade. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Keep Jensen Huang at Nvidia - but end the one-man show](https://longbridge.com/en/news/305166683.md) - [The S&P 500 is shrugging off Nvidia's selloff.
