Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland raised his price target for Nvidia (NVDA) to $240 from $190 ahead of the company's Q3 results on November 14. While difficult to make a clear call on the quarter, this is the first time in many quarters that expectations are generally in-check with typical seasonality, Rolland tells investors in a pre-research note. He points out that Nvidia in the quarter refreshed its high-end RTX cards to combat the 7nm graphics processing unit launch from AMD (AMD). While AMD was able to gain modest share in aftermarket graphics cards during the quarter and is now rumored to be launching a lower-priced Navi GPU to compete in the midrange, the analyst believes Nvidia will take back most lost share on the release of 7nm next year. With the company facing "the most reasonable Street expectations in quite some time," Rolland reiterates a Positive rating on Nvidia.

TD Cowen raised the firm's price target on AMD to $200 from $185 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst expect data center strength and "well-known softness elsewhere" when AMD reports Q1 results. The firm sees AMD as generating upwards of $10.00 in earnings per share by 2027, or a nearly 40% annual growth off of 2023. TD increased its MI300 2024 revenue estimate to $4.5B from $4B, saying ramps at several customers will continue to happen more quickly than typical. AMD remains one of its top picks.

Barclays analyst Tom O'Malley raised the firm's price target on Broadcom (AVGO) to $1,500 from $1,405 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares after hosting management for meetings. Broadcom is one of the unique companies that has a comprehensive view of the semis industry while also capable of providing an "intimate look" at the artificial intelligence market via custom silicon, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says management highlighted the company's inroads with the consumer-facing AI world, providing a differing viewpoint versus Nvidia's (NVDA) vision of the world - pointing to a two-part market of consumer and enterprise that could grow to a 50/50 split over time. Barclays came away from the meetings "with a valuable second opinion on the future of AI and a greater appreciation for the company's many ways to win."
