Nvidia Stock Surges 5.8% as AI Chip Demand Defies Export Curbs
Nvidia shares rallied sharply after posting record quarterly results, with CEO Jensen Huang projecting continued growth despite U.S. export restrictions targeting China. The semiconductor giant’s stock breached $200 as data center revenue jumped 73% to $39.1 billion, powered by relentless demand for AI accelerators.
Market analysts maintain strong conviction, with TipRanks showing 38 ’Strong Buy’ ratings and a $165.29 average price target. The company’s $44.1 billion quarterly revenue—a 69% year-over-year increase—demonstrates pricing power in the face of regulatory challenges. ’Our next-generation platforms are ramping strongly,’ Huang noted during the earnings call.
