Quick Read

  • NVIDIA’s $400 target is the highest-conviction play in the AI basket, while AMD’s $750 needs just 34% more upside to reach by 2029.

  • Tesla’s $600 target requires Robotaxi and Optimus to deliver real EPS by 2029, a scenario Wall Street’s $425 consensus doesn’t yet price in.

  • Palantir’s $300 target demands a 137% gain and a 214x forward P/E, making it the biggest stretch in the AI momentum basket.

  • This lithium producer surpassed a $1B private valuation, joining some of America’s most powerful startups. Now you can invest in EnergyX alongside global giants like General Motors, but only through July 16. (sponsor)

The AI trade in 2026 has splintered into four very different tapes. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) is grinding higher. AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) is on a tear. Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) has given back a chunk of last year’s move. And Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is stuck near its 200-day. I want to lay out what each of these four needs to do to hit my stretch 2029 targets, and where I think the math actually works.

NVIDIA is up 13.25% YTD and 955.75% over five years. Q1 FY27 revenue hit $81.61 billion, +85.2% YoY, with Data Center at $75.25 billion. Jensen Huang called the AI factory buildout “the largest infrastructure expansion in human history.” My bold 2029 target is $400, above the model’s bull case of $398.81 for July 2029.

Reaching $400 from $210.96 requires a gain of 89.6%. Forward EPS of $8 puts $400 at a forward P/E of 50x, above the 36x implied by my base case of $260.92. Consensus sits at $301.62 with 58 buys and 1 sell. Multiple expansion above 40x is credible if data-center dominance holds.

Palantir: The Case for $300

Palantir is down 28.67% YTD, but Q1 2026 revenue was $1.63 billion, +84.7% YoY, with U.S. commercial up 133%. Alex Karp said “Palantir’s Rule of 40 score has soared to 145%. We have shattered the metric.” My 2029 bold target is $300, above the model’s bull case of $292.76.

July 16 is the Final Day to Tap Into the Lithium Boom (sponsor)
General Motors, POSCO, and 50,000+ everyday investors have already backed lithium producer EnergyX.

Here’s why you should do the same before their July 16 investment deadline: lithium prices are up 75% this year, with demand projected to grow a staggering 5X by 2040.

With tech that can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 15M+ tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX investor before the July 16 deadline.

$300 from $126.79 is a gain of 136.6%. Forward EPS of $1.40 implies a forward P/E of 214x at $300, versus the 133x already priced into my base case of $159.66. This is the hardest of the four to justify on multiples. It only works if U.S. commercial ARR keeps compounding above 100% and FY29 EPS runs materially higher.

Story Continues

AMD: The Path to $750

AMD has ripped 160.5% YTD. Q1 2026 Data Center revenue hit $5.78 billion, +57% YoY. Lisa Su noted MI450 customer forecasts are “exceeding our initial expectations,” and the 6 GW Meta Instinct deployment is now the anchor. My 2029 bold target is $750.

That is a gain of 34.4% from $557.89. Forward EPS of $6.87 puts $750 at a forward P/E of 109x. Stretched, but EPS is on a steep ramp with 42 buy ratings and zero sells. If you want the deeper picks-and-shovels lens on this cycle, our Next Nvidia Playbook maps how successor names typically re-rate.

Tesla: The Path to $600

Tesla is down 9.33% YTD. Robotaxi launched in Dallas and Houston. FSD subs hit 1.28 million, +51% YoY. My 2029 bold target is $600, above the model bull case of $538.81.

That is a gain of 47.1% from $407.76. Forward EPS of $1.90 implies a forward P/E of 316x at $600. That only works if Optimus and Robotaxi actually contribute meaningful EPS by 2029, and auto gross margin holds above 20%. The consensus target of $424.56 tells you Wall Street is not there yet.

The Bottom Line

Four names, four paths. NVDA to $400 is a gain of 89.6% and the highest-conviction of the bunch. AMD to $750 needs 34.4% and looks achievable if MI450 execution lands. TSLA to $600 needs 47.1% and real autonomy monetization. PLTR to $300 needs 136.6% and remains a stretch.

What derails all four together is an AI capex reset. Returns at this level shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the blueprint for how the AI Momentum Basket could reach $400, $300, $750, and $600 in 2029.

Meet America’s Newest $1b Unicorn (Sponsor)

A US startup just passed a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like OpenAI and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest in EnergyX right now; but only until July 16.

Over 50,000 people already have, along with global giants like General Motors and POSCO.

Here’s why there’s so much interest: EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That’s a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the 7/16 investment deadline.
