Brian Colello at Morningstar maintained his target price of $130 per share on Nvidia stock following the DeepSeek news. "We doubt the leading cloud vendors and AI builders will pause their plans," he wrote in a note to clients. "We still think tech firms will continue to buy all the GPUs they can as part this AI gold rush."

Retail investors bought a record amount of Nvidia stock on Monday after concerns over a low-cost artificial intelligence model from Chinese startup DeepSeek stripped 17% off its shares, or $593 billion from its market value.

Nvidia’s shares tanked almost 18 per cent on Monday amid concerns about competition from Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek, but analysts dismissed fears of lasting damage, calling the drop a “healthy market correction”.
