15 Aug
Summary
- Bank of America reiterates "Buy" rating on NVIDIA stock
- Potential 15% tax on AI chips, but seen as net positive
- Average price target of $190, with a Street-high of $250

As of August 16, 2025, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) has secured favorable chip export licenses, according to recent reports. This development has been viewed positively by analysts, with Bank of America reiterating its "Buy" rating on the stock.
The firm noted that there has been a "busy period of interactions" between the U.S. government, the White House, and major U.S. chipmakers. The critical nature of semiconductors is likely to enhance these interactions, which will continue to be both positive and a source of volatility. The recent news includes a potential 15% tax or levy on sales of specific AI chips in return for China approvals, which is seen as a net positive by the analysts.
Despite the ongoing regulatory landscape, Wall Street analysts currently have a consensus "Buy" rating on NVIDIA's stock. The average price target of $190 implies a 5.10% upside, while the Street-high target of $250 suggests a more substantial 38% potential gain.
NVIDIA is a leading provider of AI-driven solutions, offering platforms for data centers, self-driving cars, robotics, and cloud services. The company's ability to navigate the regulatory environment and maintain its competitive edge has been a key focus for investors.
