Malik warned that Nvidia\u2019s margins could be &#8220;moderately impacted by tariffs&#8221; and that enterprise investments may stall due to heightened global uncertainty. <\/p>\n<p>However, he noted that Nvidia could benefit from the USMCA exemption.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia shares have declined nearly 20% so far in 2025 amid a broader tech selloff. <\/p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 technology sector has dropped more than 17% year to date, pressured in part by President Donald Trump\u2019s tariff measures and fears of a potential recession.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wall Street analysts are largely bullish on NVIDIA<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier in the week, Wall Street analysts maintained their bullish stance on the AI darling.<\/p>\n<p>Analyst Joseph Moore reiterated Nvidia as a top semiconductor pick, maintaining an overweight rating and a $162 price target.<\/p>\n<p>In a note to clients on Thursday, Moore said the direct impact of tariffs on Nvidia is likely to be limited in the near term, citing strong demand and existing mitigation measures. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur view is that the microeconomic impacts for NVIDIA are fairly minimal, particularly because near-term demand remains strong and is already being mitigated,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>However, Moore cautioned that broader macroeconomic risks could weigh on the stock, particularly through reduced investment financing.<\/p>\n<p>Bernstein analysts on Monday reiterated an Outperform rating on NVIDIA Corporation with a price target of $185.00.<\/p>\n<p>The analysts noted that while semiconductors have been largely excluded from the scope of recent reciprocal tariffs, NVIDIA\u2019s hardware products would typically fall under the affected categories. <\/p>\n<p>However, due to provisions in the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), goods manufactured in Mexico are exempt from the new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2025\/04\/11\/nvidia-stock-rebounds-2-5-on-friday-as-analysts-remain-bullish\/\">NVIDIA stock rebounds 2.5% on Friday as analysts remain bullish<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia shares rose Friday, recovering some ground after a sharp selloff in the previous session, as market volatility around tariffs remained the primary catalyst for the chipmaker\u2019s stock.
