Reason

Stifel keeps a Buy rating on Nvidia with a $250 price target after Groq announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for its inference technology. While Nvidia did not publicly comment, various reports have cited a $20B strategic transaction value for the licensing agreement and talent acquisition, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Stifel believes Groq's second generation language processing unit will be based on a Samsung 4nm process, which could ramp in conjunction with Nvidia's Vera Rubin rack systems. Integrating the system with Rubin CPX could further stretch Nvidia's artificial intelligence infrastructure leadership as inference workloads continue to evolve, contends the firm.

Citi analyst Atif Malik views Nvidia's licensing deal with Groq as a "clear positive." The company is addressing competition from other inference architectures with a licensing deal that is more adequate than a full acquisition, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Citi believes Nvidia has worked around regulatory scrutiny given that Groq will still run as an independent company. It keeps a Buy rating on Nvidia with a $270 price target.

Truist believes Nvidia's licensing agreement with Groq is intended to "fortify" its competitive positioning in inference versus tensor processing units. While the reported $20B cost is significant, it is small relative to Nvidia's cash position and cash flow generation, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Truist says Nvidia's development of Groq's technology could make its capabilities more appealing to high volume inference customers. The firm keeps a Buy rating on the shares with a $275 price target.
