NVIDIA shares closed October 5 near $239 after a strong session that lifted the stock to within striking distance of its $240.10 intraday high, reflecting sustained AI-driven demand and momentum from the fiscal second-quarter results reported in late August. Data-center revenue of $89 billion, up 117% year over year, plus $108 billion third-quarter guidance and a record $150 billion buyback expansion have supported the rebound from July lows. With the next earnings release set for November 17 and no China-related compute revenue assumed in forecasts, traders are weighing continued Blackwell ramp and financing initiatives against valuation multiples near 29 times trailing earnings amid broader market volatility.
