NVDA: Nvidia Stock Jumps 1% to New Record Close — It’s $100 Billion Away from $4 Trillion

Shares need to pop just $4 to break the formidable never-broken-before $4 trillion. Can it do that before earnings?

👑 Nvidia on Verge of Making History (Again)

• Nvidia stock NVDA jumped 1.1% on Tuesday to close at $160.01, putting the AI chip juggernaut within striking distance of an unprecedented milestone.
• If shares trade at or above $160.46, Nvidia would top Apple’s AAPL record $3.915 trillion closing market cap hit late December, cementing its spot as the new king of corporate valuations.
• The final push? Shares need to rise to $164 to officially crown Jensen Huang’s company as the world’s first $4 trillion company — a feat that would put the entire AI boom on the map in spectacular fashion.

👀 Eyes on Earnings

• Nvidia has been on a tear since the end of the first quarter, riding the unshakable belief that insatiable demand for artificial intelligence chips will keep smashing Wall Street’s growth forecasts.
• Investors have been gobbling up shares ahead of the company’s next quarterly update, slated for August 27 — a report that could either send the stock into the stratosphere or pour some ice water on the rally. Hopes are pinned for $45.6 billion in sales, up from $30 billion in the year-ago quarter.
• Analysts widely see Nvidia as the ultimate AI hardware proxy — the question now is whether new revenue projections can match the sky-high expectations already baked into the stock price.

🤖 Market’s Big Bet on AI

• At Tuesday’s close, Nvidia’s market cap stood about $100 billion shy of $4 trillion — an eye-watering reminder of how quickly fortunes can snowball when a mega-cap titan taps into a world-changing tech trend.
• While the S&P 500 finished Tuesday slightly in the red, Nvidia’s momentum underscored investors’ willingness to hold on to AI plays even as broader markets digest trade tensions and tariff deadlines.
• With less than $4 per share to climb, the world’s top chipmaker is staring down history — and traders are wondering if that breakout comes before, or after, next month’s earnings drop.
