Evercore analysts said they expected AI capex to soar 72% in 2025, adding that cloud demand at companies like Amazon and Azure suggested that AI “hit a tipping point at enterprises.”

Industry checks also suggest there’s strong demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell product line, and that the company’s software remains the “solution of choice” for training large language models.

“NVDA remains our top pick, near-term due to improving visibility, longer-term, as we believe it could ultimately capture up to 16% weighting of the S&P 500 Index,” they added. At the time analysts wrote the note, Nvidia made up around 8% of the benchmark index.

Evercore reiterated its “Outperform” rating on the stock and lifted its price target to $214 a share from $190 a share, implying 19% upside from current levels.
