Nvidia stock doesn't look like it will get a lift from its developer event this week. But Wall Street analysts are still applauding the chip maker's initiatives and there's another high-profile cheerleader -- Elon Musk.

The company's shares didn't respond much to the GTC event where the company unveiled an array of new artificial-intelligence trips and CEO Jensen Huang gave an upbeat forecast of $1 trillion in revenue for its flagship processors through 2027.

One persistent concern is that major customers such as Musk's Tesla and SpaceX -- which now houses his xAI company -- will look to replace Nvidia chips with their own processors. But the Tesla CEO played down expectations that in-house chips would fully replace Nvidia hardware within data centers late Wednesday.

"I am a huge admirer of Nvidia and Jensen [Huang] btw. That market cap is well-deserved," Musk said in a post on social-media platform X. "SpaceX AI and Tesla expect to continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale."

The post came as Musk was laying out plans for Tesla's Terafab, a large semiconductor manufacturing facility.

Meanwhile, Wall Street was happy enough with Nvidia's GTC announcements. Nvidia stock got a raft of target price upgrades, raising the average across analysts polled by FactSet to $268.96. Shares currently trade around $180.

One typical appraisal came from Truist Securities analyst William Stein, who raised his target price on Nvidia stock to $287 from $283 and kept a Buy rating. He noted that the company's $1 trillion revenue forecast for Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips alone excludes other hardware such as its processors based on technology from AI start-up Groq.

"Considering that consensus is for total data center revenue of $950B from 2025-2027, it's clear that there is at least modest upside in 2026 and 2027," Stein wrote.
