Jefferies analysts on Tuesday added six new names to its list of "highest-conviction, Buy-rated" stocks, including chip giant Nvidia ( NVDA). The brokerage also deleted two stocks from the list.

Jefferies' 28 “Franchise Picks” stocks "are underpinned by differentiated analysis, supported by catalysts and sit at valuation levels that suggest upside."

Nvidia ( NVDA) was added after Jefferies saw upside to the AI darling's full year 2025 guidance from its Blackwell Ultra chips and strength in networking. "Ramp of Blackwell should push (gross margin %) to mid-70% throughout the year," the brokerage said.

Apart from NVDA, analysts also added Capital One Financial ( COF), Expand Energy ( EXE), Huntington Bancshares ( HBAN), PVH ( PVH) and UGI ( UGI)
