> Arete Research lifted its target from $283 to $369 on Oct. 16, while Dan Ives kept a $300 target as shares fell 1.43%.

Two analyst targets for NVIDIA (NVDA) were $85.87 and $154.87 above the stock’s Oct. 16 close, after Arete Research raised its target and Dan Ives kept his unchanged.

Arete set a $369 target, up from $283. That new target was $154.87 above NVIDIA’s $214.13 regular-session close. Ives maintained a $300 target, which was $85.87 above the same closing price.

NVIDIA shares fell $3.10, or 1.43%, to $214.13 at 4 p.m. ET (20:00 UTC) Friday. The closing price provides a regular-session reference for comparing the targets. The target figures apply to NVIDIA common stock.

Dan Ives is a partner and senior managing director at Yorkville Ives & Co. His maintained target follows his earlier view of the AI-stock pullback.

Binance’s NVDAUSDT is an equity perpetual contract tied to NVIDIA common stock. It settles in USDT and trades 24/7, so its quote can change while U.S. stock markets are closed. The contract’s price is a separate trading reference from the regular-session share close, and the product is not described as a tokenized NVIDIA share.
