**Implied Volatility / Movement:** +0.84% intraday for $NVDA+WL
Nvidia Corp. ($NVDA+WL) expects its chip sales to double over the coming year, a projection that significantly exceeds the 70% increase previously forecast by CEO Jensen Huang last month. The announcement contributed to a 2% rise in $NVDA+WL's stock on Thursday, positioning it for a third consecutive session of gains. Huang, speaking at a UK summit, also stressed the importance of thorough safety tests for artificial intelligence tools before their release.
Nvidia holds a commanding position, controlling approximately 80% of the AI accelerator market. However, this lead is facing challenges from major hyperscalers such as Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), who are increasing investments in custom silicon to reduce their dependence on Nvidia. Despite broader discussions on AI governance and risk, Huang advocated for continued AI development while underscoring corporate responsibility for product safety.
Nvidia's revenue for the quarter ending in July reached $96.2 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $92.2 billion. Retail investor chatter surrounding the stock has seen a notable increase of about 15% compared to the prior week.
