Nvidia's upcoming stock split could propel the chipmaker higher over the short run and boost already enthusiastic investor sentiment, according to Wall Street.
Nvidia's results prompted many Wall Street firms to boost their price targets on the stock as demand continues.
While a split may improve accessibility by lowering the share price, it doesn't alter the value or fundamentals of the business.
Citi's Atif Malik called the split a "positive surprise," while Susquehanna's Christopher Rolland said it "invigorates the retail crowd."
"The 10:1 stock split likely adds short-term momentum to this AI bellwether," said Needham's Quinn Bolton.
