NVIDIA's fiscal second-quarter results, released August 26, served as the dominant catalyst for recent price action ahead of the August 31 close. Revenue surged 106% year-over-year to $96.2 billion, with data-center sales reaching $89 billion, both well above consensus, while management guided $108 billion for the current quarter and projected 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028 amid persistent supply constraints. Shares climbed as much as 9% intraday on August 27 before moderating, closing August 28 at $217.55 and trading near $219–220 midday August 31 amid elevated volume. This performance reflects trader focus on accelerating AI infrastructure spending by hyperscalers and enterprises, tempered by supply bottlenecks and margin dynamics, with no major macroeconomic releases or regulatory events expected to shift sentiment before month-end.
