Nvidia Stock Forecast: Jensen Huang Says Chip Sales Will Double by 2027, NVDA Stock Could Challenge $320

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated on September 17 during an AI summit in Scotland that the company expects the volume of chips it sells next year to double compared to this year. He noted that AI is creating increasingly visible value across various industries and economies, with multiple countries around the world still seeking to increase their AI investments. Although Nvidia did not disclose specific chip sales figures, management believes that demand for AI hardware will continue to expand at a rapid pace over the coming year.

Notably, Nvidia previously projected that its revenue for fiscal year 2028 would still grow by approximately 70%, and explicitly stated that this forecast was provided under supply constraints, implying that actual customer demand may exceed the scale currently deliverable.

The next-generation Vera Rubin is also becoming a key pillar for the company's next phase of growth. Nvidia's latest MLPerf benchmark results show that the Vera Rubin NVL72 achieves up to 3.7 times the throughput of the GB300 NVL72 in certain AI inference tasks. Rubin has entered volume production, and as the new platform gradually succeeds Blackwell, the company is poised to continue benefiting from capital expenditures by major cloud hyperscalers, AI model developers, and sovereign AI projects.

For NVDA's stock price, Huang's remarks help ease recent market concerns about AI investment peaking. However, whether the stock can sustain its upward trajectory depends on two key factors: first, whether the supply of GPUs and advanced packaging can meet demand; and second, profitability. Due to rapidly rising memory costs, Nvidia expects its Q3 gross margin to be around 74%, which could drop to 71%–72% in Q4. Consequently, even if sales volumes surge significantly in the future, the market will remain focused on whether revenue growth can translate into equally robust profit growth.

Looking at Nvidia's weekly chart, connecting the candlestick lows from April to the present forms a clear upward trendline, indicating an overall bullish trend; meanwhile, the SMA60 and SMA144 medium-to-long-term moving averages maintain a bullish alignment, demonstrating strong momentum in the uptrend and a high probability of further gains.

Currently, the stock price has attempted twice to test $230 without a decisive breakthrough, prompting a recent pullback. However, market sentiment was lifted after Jensen Huang's remarks, and the stock is expected to close higher this week and halt the decline, implying that short-term stock prices may continue to rise.

On the upside, the primary resistance level to watch is $230-$236.5. If the stock price can break above $236.5 to set a new record high, it will open up upside room toward the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level at $320.

On the downside, the primary support level to watch is $208, followed by around $200. If this level fails to hold, the stock may enter a deeper correction phase, potentially testing support at $190 or even falling toward around $176.
