NVIDIA, the leading chipmaker in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, saw its shares soar to a record high on Monday, fueled by expectations of strong earnings and updates from tOP customers on their planned spending on AI infrastructure. The stock price climbed 2.4% to reach $138.07, surpassing its previous high of $135.58 set on June 18. This remarkable 180% increase in the company's stock price for the year and a staggering nine-fold growth since the beginning of 2023 is a testament to Nvidia's dominance in the AI industry.
