NVIDIA shares closed at a record $238.90 on October 5, 2026, up 2.12% with intraday highs near $240.10 amid broad rotation into semiconductors and megacaps. Primary drivers include the company’s fiscal Q2 2027 results showing $96.2 billion revenue (up 106% year-over-year) and $89 billion data-center sales (up 117%), plus management’s robust Q3 guidance of $108 billion plus or minus 2%. The late-September $150 billion expansion of the share-repurchase program to $235 billion total has reinforced confidence in long-term AI demand, while the forward P/E near 17 times remains near decade lows despite expected 70% earnings growth. Treasury yields above 5% have not dented the advance, with the next catalyst being the November 18 earnings release.
