Nvidia stock is on a tear, rising more than 18% over the past ten days. It’s the longest winning streak the artificial intelligence chip giant has seen since another ten-day rise in 2023.
Shares are trading about 8% lower than October’s all-time high of $212.19, adjusted for a 10-for-1 stock split that occurred in 2024.
The steady climb comes amid explosive AI demand, as giants like Meta, Amazon, Google and Microsoft snap up Nvidia’s AI chips.
At last month’s annual GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia has more than $1 trillion in orders for its graphics processing units through 2027, including its current Blackwell and next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs.
Nvidia’s data center revenue is up 75% year-over-year, and now makes up a whopping 88% of its business. It’s a sharp incline from five years ago, when gaming was the company’s largest revenue driver.
Now, Nvidia can’t make AI chips fast enough. At GTC in March, Nvidia unveiled new types of chips for powering AI, including a language processing unit made with technology acquired with its $20 billion purchase of chip startup Groq in December.
Nvidia also unveiled a standalone rack of its newest Vera central processing units at GTC, as agentic AI shifts compute needs and creates a resurgence of demand for CPUs.
Meta is the first major customer of Nvidia’s standalone CPUs. In a sweeping deal announced in February, Meta committed to deploying millions of Nvidia’s chips in its dozens of data centers worldwide.
The winning streak comes as Nvidia denied rumors Monday that it’s in talks to buy a large PC company, telling CNBC in a statement that it’s “not engaged in discussions to acquire any PC maker.” Both Dell and HP Inc. rose on the claims Monday, then lost some of those gains early Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Nvidia also announced a new family of open-source models it’s calling Ising, aimed at accelerating the adoption of quantum computing.
