It’s been a record-breaking year for artificial intelligence darling Nvidia’s stock, with analysts overwhelmingly bullish about the year to come.

Looking ahead, Wall Street's consensus estimate suggests that Nvidia's EPS could come in at $4.43 in fiscal 2026. That places the stock at a forward P/E ratio of just 32.1. This means the stock will have to soar 82% next year just to trade in line with its 10-year average P/E of 58.6, which implies a stock price of $259!

Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has been a huge winner each of the past two years. After surging over 238% in 2023, the stock has soared approximately 164% this year, as of this writing. Those are two huge back-to-back year gains that have propelled the company to become one of the largest in the world.

Most people on Wall Street agree that Nvidia (NVDA) is the winner of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom over the last two years. The company is well known for producing GPUs that support everything from video gaming to AI data centers.
