NVIDIA shares closed October 2 near $234 after hitting a fresh record high of $237.88, fueled by a record $150 billion buyback increase, robust AI-driven revenue growth to $96.2 billion in fiscal Q2 2027, and Morgan Stanley's reinstatement as a top semiconductor pick. Trader sentiment for the October 5 week close remains evenly split across ranges from below $210 to above $255, reflecting uncertainty from elevated volatility, mixed macroeconomic releases including PMI and employment data, and the absence of immediate company catalysts ahead of the next earnings report. Market-implied odds capture this dispersion in risk appetite amid strong fundamentals offset by broader sector swings.
