Its stock rose 3%, fueled by growing demand for AI chips and optimism over possible U.S.-China trade talks involving President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Under CEO Jensen Huang, Nvidia has transformed from a niche chipmaker into the backbone of the global AI industry, securing $500 billion in new chip orders and plans for seven U.S. supercomputers.
Huang, speaking at Nvidia’s GTC AI conference in Washington, praised Trump’s leadership and outlined a future where Nvidia chips power everything from data centers to self-driving cars.
