Nvidia stock has experienced a remarkable turnaround, with shares rising for five consecutive days and entering positive territory for September. This follows a brutal selloff at the beginning of the month that saw a 14% decline. The company’s graphics processing units (GPUs) have been in high demand, as evidenced by Oracle’s plans to build an AI supercomputer powered by Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell chips and CEO Jensen Huang’s statement that demand is ’emotional.’ This has led to a 140% increase in stock value this year. Other chip makers, such as Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom, have also seen gains.
