The Nikkei Stock Average is likely to extend its gains in the Tokyo stock market on the 27th. NVIDIA's share price has risen in after-hours trading following the strong results it announced late on the 26th U.S. time. Buying in AI and semiconductor-related stocks is expected to be more likely in the Tokyo market, providing an upward impetus for the Nikkei. The Nikkei's upside target is likely to be around ¥67,000, approximately ¥700 above the previous close of ¥66,262.
NVIDIA's strong results for the May–July 2026 period are reported to have boosted investors' risk appetite and prompted increased activity in AI-related stocks. Market participants are increasingly expecting this to sustain the Nikkei's upward trend.
