Nvidia (NVDA) closed the last trading session at $191.52, gaining 2.7% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $254.81 indicates a 33.1% upside potential. The average comprises 47 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $140.00 to a high of $352.00, with a standard deviation of $42.11. While the lowest estimate indicates a decline of 26.9% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 83.8% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts. While the consensus price target is highly sought after by investors, the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable. And investors making investment decisions solely based on this tool would arguably do themselves a disservice. But, for NVDA, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Zacks Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Chart for NVDA Here's What You Should Know About Analysts' Price Targets According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides.

Key Points Nike’s revenue is starting to stabilize, as huge declines might be in the past now. Increased product costs from tariffs are pressuring the company’s gross margin. Nike continues to spend billions of dollars each year on marketing and branding initiatives. 10 stocks we like better than Nike › Any investor who even remotely follows the business knows that Nike (NYSE: NKE) is not even close to operating at its best right now. While it's still a leader in the global sportswear market, the company made some notable mistakes in recent years. Nike is working to fix things, but shares have gotten hammered. They are trading 63% below their peak (as of Jan. 23). This is an interesting business to pay attention to. Here are three metrics that investors in this consumer discretionary stock need to know about. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » 1. Revenue growth From fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2024, Nike's revenue increased at a solid compound annual rate of 6%. In fiscal 2025 (ended May 31), the top line decreased 10% year over year. It appears as though the situation has stabilized, however. Analysts expect sales to rise 1% in fiscal 2026. Investors must keep tabs on this metric, as it is the best indicator of demand trends. While no rival comes close to Nike's sizable revenue base, the business has struggled to get back to healthy growth. It's trying to get better at product innovation, which can support consumer interest. North America, where sales climbed 9% in second-quarter 2026 (ended Nov. 30), is in a much better position than the Greater China segment. Sales here fell an alarming 17% last quarter. 2. Gross margin Another critical data point is gross margin, which compressed from 43.6% in Q2 2025 to 40.6% in the most recent quarter. Like many other physical goods businesses, this one is dealing with higher expenses due to trade po...

Royal Bank of Canada is making a hiring push in equities trading as investor appetite for stock derivatives booms, one of the Canadian investment bank’s top traders said. “Over the next five years, we plan to transform the equity division across products and geographies,” said James Masserio , global head of equities at RBC Capital Markets, Royal Bank’s investment-bank subsidiary. Masserio, who joined the bank from Societe Generale SA as head of global equities a year ago, wants to expand the lender’s presence in derivatives and bring on more staff for its trading floors in Toronto, New York and London. As RBC looked to put excess capital to work facilitating client transactions, the lender bolstered its equities-trading ranks, hiring heavily from European rivals. Over the past six months, the bank brought on at least eight new hires in equities, including senior traders and sales staff from rivals including UBS Group AG , Societe Generale, Barclays Plc and HSBC Holdings Plc .

Demand for equity options also soared as both retail and institutional investors embraced short-term volatility strategies. The average daily US-listed options volume grew 25% last year, according to data from Options Clearing Corp. “The RBC equity business has significant upside potential from here,” Masserio said in an interview, pointing to a more than 50% increase in global equities revenue in the bank’s fiscal year, which ended in October. He expects future growth to come from expanding the Canadian bank’s quantitative investment strategies products, which are systematic trades packaged by banks for buy-side clients, often based on an underlying index. “QIS products allow a bank like RBC to outsource our sophisticated in-house exec...

krblokhin/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Honeywell International ( HON ) stock was little changed in premarket trading Thursday after the industrial conglomerate reported results that beat Wall Street expectations, helped by higher demand in aerospace and building automation and a sharp increase in orders. Fourth-quarter sales rose 6% to $9.76 billion. The company’s results exceeded the Wall Street consensus estimate for revenue of $9.92 billion, even as Honeywell ( HON ) said adjusted sales were $10.07 billion, up 11% organically. Adjusted earnings were $2.59 a share, topping the consensus estimate of $2.54 a share. Net income fell to $309 million, or $0.49 a share, from $1.09 billion, or $1.74 a share, a year earlier. Results were pressured by a one-time impairment charge tied to classifying its productivity solutions and services and its warehouse and workflow solutions businesses as assets held for sale, along with a one-time charge in aerospace technologies related to Flexjet litigation matters. “We concluded 2025 with strong results that exceeded the high end of our guidance for adjusted sales and adjusted EPS,” Chief Executive Vimal Kapur said in a statement. Q4 sales rise 6% on aerospace, building automation demand Honeywell ( HON ) said sales growth was driven primarily by demand in aerospace technologies and building automation. Aerospace technologies sales were $4.52 billion, up 13% year over year, with organic growth of 21%. Building automation sales rose 10% to $1.97 billion, including 8% organic growth. Industrial automation revenue declined 8% to $2.37 billion, while energy and sustainability solutions sales rose 10% to $892 million, though the company said that segment declined 7% organically due to softer demand in petrochemical catalysts. Orders rose 23% organically in the quarter, lifting backlog more than 4% sequentially to over $37 billion. One-time charges weigh on profit and margin Operating income was $996 million, down 35% from $1.52 bill...

US equities dropped on Thursday as traders sifted through the winners and losers among big-spending technology names, offsetting optimism that Republicans and Democrats may strike a deal to avoid a US government shutdown. The S&P 500 Index fell 0.3% at 9:44 a.m in New York. Energy stocks climbed alongside oil prices as President Donald Trump renewed threats against Iran. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index fell 0.7%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4%. “Big tech earnings weren’t perfect, but on balance were positive,” wrote Tom Essaye , founder of the Sevens Report, of megacap tech results over night. Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc. was one of the best performers in the index, with analysts saying its stronger-than-expected revenue outlook supports its massive capital spending for the next year. Its performance stands in sharp contrast to Microsoft Corp. , which was among the biggest laggards in the market following disappointing guidance in its cloud computing business, while capital expenditures were higher than expected. “The AI theme, and who benefits from the AI capex going forward, remains the largest driver of factor and market cap calls,” said Dennis DeBusschere , president and chief market strategist at 22V Research. Investors will get another chance to assess the megacap technology space after markets close Thursday, when Apple Inc. is due to report results. What does the break above 7,000 for the cash S&P 500 mean for US stocks going forward? Let us know . In Washington, Trump and Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are reportedly nearing a deal to avert a government shutdown.

In Brief After launching a messaging feature last August, Spotify is now rolling out group chats. The company announced this week that users can now share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks they’re listening to with up to 10 people. You can only start a chat with someone you’ve previously shared content with. For example, if you have a collaborative playlist with someone or have joined a Jam or a Blend together, you can start a conversation with them. The move comes as Spotify continues to invest in making its streaming app more social. Over the years, the company has gradually added social elements, including features such as comments on podcasts and the ability to follow someone and see what they listen to. Spotify previously noted that users should continue sharing content outside the app, as its messaging feature is meant to complement that. Messages are encrypted at rest and in transit. However, they are not protected by end-to-end encryption.

President’s Message President and Chief Executive Officer, Marcie A. Barber stated, “We are very pleased to announce fourth quarter net income of $2.0 million and net income of $8.0 million for the year. Our growth in earnings was primarily due to the continued improvement in our net interest margin, which increased 34 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2024 and 27 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2024. These results were achieved through disciplined loan and deposit pricing. We believe that the growth in loan outstandings and increases in core deposits to support that growth were the result of our recent strategic initiatives. Credit quality remains strong with nonperforming loans totaling 0.1% of the total loan portfolio and delinquent and nonperforming loans comprising 0.2% of the portfolio. We anticipate strong loan activity to continue throughout 2026, as we extend our branch footprint to the Belleville market and expand our lending focus in the Centre County Region.” Financial Results for the 2025 Year Annualized return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 0.92%, an increase of 27.8% compared to the an...
