Moore Threads IPO: Moore Threads Technology Co, often referred to as "China's Nvidia," is set to debut on the Shanghai market, with expectations of benefiting from China's push for domestic chip manufacturing amid U.S. export restrictions.
Market Potential: The company, which specializes in GPUs for AI computing, raised nearly 8 billion yuan ($1.13 billion) in its IPO, and analysts predict a significant increase in sales, with a target price set nearly 60% above the IPO price.
Industry Context: The IPO comes as Beijing accelerates approvals for semiconductor firms, aiming for tech self-sufficiency, while other Chinese tech giants are also investing heavily in AI chip development.
Valuation Concerns: Moore Threads' IPO is priced at 123 times its projected 2024 sales, raising concerns about high tech valuations in the market, especially compared to the broader Shanghai Composite Index.

Overweight
downgrade
$590 -> $575
Reason
KeyBanc analyst Jason Celino lowered the firm's price target on Synopsys (SNPS) to $575 from $590 to reflect dilution from the Nvidia (NVDA) investment, while keeping an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm sees somewhat of a tricky setup heading into earnings for Synopsys. On one hand, KeyBanc is expecting a fairly significant Q4 revenue beat, but on the other, it sees the potential for FY26 EPS to be guided below the Street and closer to its estimate. NULLtheless, the firm approaches the print moderately positive, and would put a higher importance on the prospect of a Q4 beat so long as it's large enough
maintain
$180 -> $215
Reason
Deutsche Bank raised the firm's price target on Nvidia to $215 from $180 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The company reported a "beat and raise" quarter last night with data center leading the growth, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Nvidia "expressed significant confidence" in its future data center segment growth. However, Deutsche continues to see the shares as fairly valued.
maintain
$220 -> $270
Reason
Citi raised the firm's price target on Nvidia to $270 from $220 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following the earnings report. The firm increased fiscal 2027 and 2028 sales estimates to reflect accelerating data center revenue on better than expected Blackwell and Rubin demand visibility. It believes the company's revenue will accelerate into 2026.
NULL -> Overweight
upgrade
$250 -> $275
Reason
KeyBanc raised the firm's price target on Nvidia to $275 from $250 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes the company reported strong Q3 results and provided Q4 guidance, which strongly exceeded expectations. The upside was driven by data center, given strong Blackwell Ultra revenues, as GB300 hit the cross over point and was 2/3 of Blackwell revenues in Q3, KeyBanc adds. Management indicated $500B in Blackwell/Rubin pipeline across 2026/2027 was the baseline and expects this to increase. Hopper revenues were $2B of which H20 was $50M, while Q4 assumes no China revs. The firm is encouraged by these strong results and raise estimates to reflect the $500B pipeline.
