Josh Brown believes Nvidia is headed to $200 a share as investors focus on the “meat and potatoes” of the business. The chipmaker was down about 1% in midday trading Thursday after falling as much as 5% overnight —despite second-quarter earnings and revenue beating Wall Street analysts’ estimates. Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said on CNBC’s ” Halftime Report ” he’s not concerned about the immediate market reaction, despite the unusual move Thursday. “Recently, the pattern has been that the stock runs up into earnings,” he said, noting that shares jumped about 20% from the start of the summer until Wednesday, before Nvidia’s latest earnings report. “It’s not a post-earnings reaction story. It used to be, but things change,” Brown added. He called the lack of clarity around Nvidia’s China business “noise.” Nvidia was blocked by the Trump administration in April from selling its H20 chip in China. The deal that CEO Jensen Huang recently struck with President Donald Trump to restart those sales has yet to be finalized. “The meat and potatoes here — the actual signal, the thing that matters: The CFO came on and talked about $3 to 4 trillion in A.I. infrastructure spend between now and the end of the decade,” Brown said. Nvidia finance chief Colette Kress revealed that figure on the earnings call after the market closed Wednesday. “I think it wants $200,” Brown said of the stock’s potential. “I think it will get it.” DISCLOSURES: All opinions expressed by the CNBC Pro contributors are solely their opinions and do not reflect the opinions of CNBC, NBC UNIVERSAL, their parent company or affiliates, and may have been previously disseminated by them on television, radio, internet or another medium.
