Nvidia Traders Bet Against $272 Target as Shares Hover Near $230

Nvidia's recent financial performance has investors expecting continued growth, but traders on prediction markets are less optimistic about the company's near-term prospects. Prediction market data indicates that only a 3% chance of Nvidia reaching $272 by the end of September 2026, suggesting caution despite recent gains.

The majority of traders expect Nvidia to trade within a tight range near its current price of around $230, with a 73% chance it stays above $224 and a 66% chance it hits $232 or $240. This cautious outlook contrasts with Nvidia's strong AI-driven growth, which is reflected in the company's record Q2 fiscal 2027 results, including $96.2 billion revenue and 117% data center revenue growth.

Nvidia projects continued demand with $108 billion revenue expected in Q3 and 70% growth in fiscal 2028, supported by major cloud partnerships and new platform rollouts. This growth has led to increased optimism among analysts, who see Nvidia's shares trading at a compelling 14.7 times projected earnings for fiscal year 2028.
