NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

NVIDIA's stock experienced significant momentum between January and July 2025. On February 26, 2025, NVIDIA reported strong financial results for Q4 and full fiscal year 2025, with record quarterly revenue of $39.3 billion and full-year revenue of $130.5 billion. On May 28, 2025, the company reported its Q1 fiscal 2025 earnings with an EPS of $0.77. In June 2025, CEO Jensen Huang sold 100,000 shares of company stock. On July 10, 2025, NVIDIA reached a $4 trillion market capitalization. On July 15, 2025, NVIDIA's shares jumped after announcing plans to resume sales of H20 AI chips to China. On July 17, 2025, the stock reached an all-time high closing price of $173.00. As of July 21, 2025, the stock price was $171.38, up 22% year-to-date.

Demand for NVIDIA's AI chips and hardware remains exceptionally robust, exceeding the available supply. Historically, the period leading into the year-end has shown a weaker seasonal pattern for NVIDIA's stock, while the beginning of the new year has been stronger. In Q1 fiscal 2024, overall GPU unit shipments decreased, which some analysts suggested might indicate a return to normal seasonality. Semiconductor stocks, including NVIDIA, are anticipated to rebound in the fourth quarter as seasonal headwinds typically ease.

NVIDIA Corp., based in Santa Clara, California, specializes in GPUs, APIs for data science and high-performance computing, and SoCs for mobile computing and automotive markets. The company is a leading supplier of AI hardware and software within the semiconductor industry. NVIDIA's major product lines include GeForce GPUs and GeForce NOW for gaming; Quadro and NVIDIA RTX GPUs for professional visualization; platforms, GPUs, and solutions for data centers; platforms for automotive applications; and other solutions like networking, robotics, cryptocurrency mining processors, and AI-powered software.

NVIDIA's operations span globally across the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. The United States is the largest geographic region for NVIDIA, driven by data center demand. Taiwan is the second-largest revenue contributor, followed by China. Singapore has also shown impressive revenue growth. NVIDIA is actively expanding its presence in emerging markets, including Southeast Asia and South America.

NVIDIA has maintained a strong brand reputation between July 2024 and July 2025, particularly due to its leadership in AI and strong financial performance. NVIDIA was ranked number one on the 2024 Axios Harris Poll 100 for having the best business brand reputation in America. Its reputation has been boosted by robust financial results and its role in the generative AI boom, including milestones such as reaching a $4 trillion market capitalization and inclusion in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Challenges included a significant one-day loss due to concerns about a Chinese AI model and export curbs on H20 products to China, though the latter was viewed positively after the announcement about resuming H20 chip sales to China.

NVIDIA's ownership is primarily dominated by institutional investors, who collectively hold approximately 64.39% of the company. Major institutional shareholders include Vanguard Group Inc., BlackRock Inc., FMR LLC, State Street Corp, and Geode Capital Management. The largest individual shareholder is CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who holds approximately 3.5% to 4% of the outstanding shares. Retail investors collectively own about 28% of the company.
