NVIDIA shares closed at $233.95 on October 2, 2026, near the recent intraday high of $237.88 amid renewed momentum from robust fiscal second-quarter results. Revenue reached $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, driven by $89 billion in Data Center sales that reflected accelerating Blackwell demand. Management guided $108 billion for the current quarter, excluding any China contribution. The board’s record $150 billion expansion of the repurchase authorization—to $235 billion total through fiscal 2028—signals strong free-cash-flow generation and has supported sentiment alongside expectations for the Vera Rubin platform ramp. With roughly three weeks remaining until the October 31 close, traders are weighing sustained AI infrastructure spending against broader equity volatility and upcoming macroeconomic data releases.
