Wall Street’s biggest Nintendo bull isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet.

Shares have cratered nearly 20% over the past month as a result of weak April sales growth and what seems like a lack of new developments.

But Nintendo still has tremendous upside, according to Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal, who has a $87.21 price target, more than double the current level.

"We believe that Nintendo is moving in the right direction - both with Switch and with its Mobile game platform," Goyal wrote in a note out to clients.

Its Switch business is perhaps the one Goyal hangs much of his call on, as he projects an explosive rate of new Switch installations in the near future. "Switch average installed base is positioned to grow by 160% in 2019 and 70% in 2020," he said, adding that it "has 3-5 years ahead to drive earnings growth."

But Goyal warned

And mobile gaming is becoming increasingly important in the gaming space, as gaming sales shift from hardware to digital. So Nintendo may need to pick up the speed on its mobile business.
