NVIDIA shares closed at a record $238.90 on October 5, 2026, lifting the market capitalization to approximately $5.78 trillion amid continued strength in AI infrastructure spending. Data-center revenue surged 117% year over year to $89 billion in the fiscal second quarter, with management guiding fiscal third-quarter revenue to $108 billion and projecting roughly 70% growth for the next fiscal year. A $150 billion expansion of the share-repurchase authorization, bringing the remaining total to $235 billion, has reinforced investor confidence alongside bullish analyst revisions and supply-chain indicators such as Foxconn’s robust results. With the next earnings release scheduled for mid-November, the primary near-term catalysts for the end-of-October close center on sustained hyperscaler capital-expenditure momentum and broader risk appetite rather than company-specific data points.
