Nvidia Stock Hits New Record High After Microsoft, Meta Blowout Earnings. Here’s Why

Dow Jones07-31

Nvidia stock hit a new record high on Thursday after earnings from Microsoft and Meta Platforms reinforced expectations of continued investment in its artificial-intelligence chips.

Nvidia shares were up 1.5% at $181.93, putting it on track to close above $180 for the first time. The stock rose 2.1% on Wednesday.

Microsoft and Meta both underlined their commitment to spending on AI hardware in positive earnings reports late Wednesday, with plenty of that money expected to be used to purchase Nvidia processors.

Microsoft reported fourth-quarter capital expenditures of $24 billion, above estimates of $21.4 billion. Meta raised the floor of its 2025 capex forecast to a range of $66 billion-$72 billion, from $64 billion-$72 billion previously.

Nvidia might also receive a boost from Stargate Norway, a project announced Thursday by a partnership of ChatGPT-developer OpenAI, AI infrastructure company Nscale and Norwegian industrial company Aker. The facility in Narvik will house 100,000 of Nvidia’s graphics-processing units by the end of 2026 and use renewable power for AI workloads in Europe, the companies said in a joint statement.

Among other chip makers, Advanced Micro Devices was up 0.6% and Broadcom had gained 0.2% in early trading.
