Nvidia stock was trading at USD 237.25 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026 at 11:09 a.m. ET, down 0.83 percent from the prior close. The same day, Reuters reported that Microsoft would unveil a new laptop powered by Nvidia chips, taking AI workloads further into personal computers.

AI chips enter the laptop market

The Microsoft event centers on the Surface Laptop Ultra and Nvidia's RTX Spark chips, which are designed to run tasks such as coding and business projects locally instead of sending every request to the cloud. For Nvidia, the move opens a PC opportunity beyond its established data center, gaming and professional visualization markets.

The commercial test is pricing. Reuters reported that Nvidia's DGX Spark price reached USD 6,950 after memory costs increased, putting pressure on the economics of running AI locally.

Revenue doubled in fiscal Q2

Nvidia reported fiscal Q2 2027 revenue of USD 96.22 billion, up 105.9 percent from USD 46.74 billion a year earlier, while adjusted EPS reached USD 2.22 against consensus of USD 2.09. Markets Insider reported the figures for the quarter ending July 26, 2026.

The comparison explains why the laptop launch matters to valuation: Nvidia is adding a consumer-facing avenue to a business that already delivered triple-digit annual revenue growth in its latest reported quarter. The counter-factor is hardware affordability, because higher memory costs can narrow the addressable market for local AI systems.

Consensus target exceeds USD 327

Gekko lists a Buy consensus from 32 firms, with an average 12-month target of USD 327.70, a low of USD 275 and a high of USD 465. The average target stands 37.0 percent above the October 6 close of USD 239.24.

The next earnings report is scheduled for November 18, 2026, after the market close, according to Gekko. That date will test whether the latest revenue pace can support the valuation while Nvidia broadens its AI platform beyond data centers.
