NVIDIA shares climbed sharply during the week of August 10, 2026, closing near 225 after starting around 217, driven by sustained AI infrastructure demand and positioning ahead of fiscal second-quarter results due August 26. Traders are focused on expected revenue near 91 billion dollars and GAAP EPS of roughly 2.06 dollars, nearly double year-ago levels, supported by strong data-center momentum and high GPU margins amid supply constraints. Recent positive signals from OpenAI deployments and hyperscaler commentary reinforced sentiment, while the stock’s valuation at a 34-times trailing earnings multiple reflects market-implied confidence in continued growth. Key swing factors include any pre-earnings revisions to capex guidance or shifts in broader tech sentiment that could influence Friday’s settlement level.
