Piper Sandler raised its rating on Rivian to overweight, noting the stock can rally 96% from here. Baird's $1,050 price target implies that Nvidia stock could still rally another 19%, adding onto its eye-watering 78% gain so far this year. After soaring more than 200% last year, Nvidia shares have surged another 77% in 2024. "Make no mistake: buying RIVN is risky and a botched midyear re-tooling effort could yet surprise investors negatively," Potter wrote. Snowflake shares have struggled this year, losing 20%, in part due to Frank Slootman stepping down his CEO role.
