According to the Zhitong Finance and Economics APP, Bank of America has raised its earnings per share expectations for NVIDIA (NVDA.US) in the coming years, citing the company's 80% to 85% market share in the $400 billion potential market. Bank of America reiterated its "buy" rating for NVIDIA and raised its target price from $165 to $190, nearly 40% above the current level.

Bank of America raised NVIDIA's earnings per share expectations for 2025 from $2.81 to $2.87; for 2026 from $3.90 to $4.47; and for 2027 from $4.72 to $5.67.

Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya stated on Thursday, "We note that NVIDIA's underestimated free cash flow (FCF) profit margin is above 45-50%, nearly double the average of the seven giants at 23-25%. In dollar terms, NVIDIA may generate over $200 billion in cash flow over the next two years, comparable to Apple (AAPL.US), providing growth opportunities."

Bank of America also emphasized NVIDIA's increasingly important role in collaborations with companies such as Accenture (ACN.US), ServiceNow (NOW.US), and Microsoft (MSFT.US).
