NVIDIA shares closed at $230.86 on October 1 after rising 1.09%, supported by exceptional Q2 fiscal 2027 results showing $96.22 billion in revenue (up 106% year over year) and $2.22 non-GAAP EPS, both exceeding estimates, with Data Center sales surging 117% on Blackwell platform demand from hyperscalers. Forward guidance of $108 billion for Q3 revenue and strong analyst consensus (Strong Buy rating, average 12-month target near $328) reinforce momentum, though the stock trades near its $236.54 52-week high amid elevated Treasury yields pressuring growth equities and occasional caution on AI investment cycles. Next earnings in mid-November and ongoing supply dynamics represent key near-term catalysts for October 2 price action.
