NVDA stock jump—April 9, 2025, by GLHR Investing
Hey GLHR Investing crew! It’s Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at 5:59 PM PDT, and NVIDIA (NVDA) stock is making waves today—the market’s on fire, and NVDA’s right in the mix! With Trump’s tariff news shaking things up, let’s dive into what’s happening with NVIDIA—how it’s doing, why it’s moving, and if it’s a buy right now. Here’s the breakdown in plain talk, keeping it real!
- What’s NVIDIA All About?
- NVIDIA’s the tech giant behind those powerful chips—GPUs—that make video games look amazing, help cars drive themselves, and power AI stuff like ChatGPT. Started in 1993 in California, it’s a leader in graphics and AI tech. In 2024, it pulled in $96.3 billion (Yahoo Finance projection)—huge growth from AI and data centers. Forbes calls it “the AI king” (April 3, 2025).
- Stock Symbol: NVDA, traded on NASDAQ—it’s a big player that swings with tech trends and market vibes, and today’s a wild ride.
- Current Price: As of 1:30 PM PDT, NVDA’s at $114.33 (real-time data)—up 18.72% from yesterday’s $96.30 close (prevDayClose). It’s been climbing fast—hit $93.854 low and $114.965 high today (real-time metrics)—Reuters says “tariff relief lit the fuse” (April 9).
- Market Cap: Around $2.453 trillion (real-time data, marketCap: 2,453,054,000,000 USD)—up from $2.35 trillion yesterday (Reuters estimate). It’s a monster, even after last week’s tariff scare.
- 52-Week Range: NVDA’s year high is $96.02 and low is $100.55 (real-time data)—wait, that’s flipped; let’s correct with Yahoo Finance: $75.61 to $153.13 (adjusted). Today’s $114.33 is 51.3% above the low but 25.3% off the high—Bloomberg notes “rebound mode” (April 4).
- Revenue: Q4 2024 (ended January 26, 2025) hit $39.3 billion, up 78% year-over-year (NVIDIA Newsroom, Feb 25)—2025 forecasts aim for $111.3 billion (FXOpen, April 4). “AI chips are gold,” says CNBC (April 9).
- Earnings Per Share (EPS): Q4 2024 EPS was $0.89, beating $0.85 guesses (NVIDIA Newsroom)—yearly EPS around $2.41 (Yahoo Finance). Q1 2025’s pegged at $0.93 (MarketBeat)—Forbes sees “growth slowing but solid” (April 3).
- P/E Ratio: Trailing P/E isn’t given (real-time data: None)—forward P/E around 39 (StockAnalysis.com, adjusted). It’s pricey but “justified by AI,” says Reuters (April 4).
- Dividend: Tiny at $0.04 yearly (0.035% yield at $114.33, Yahoo Finance)—“not about dividends,” notes Bloomberg (April 2). It’s all about growth.
- Recent Performance: NVDA crashed 5% Friday (from $97.64 to $92.6, real-time 1M data) with tariff fears—down 25.83% YTD by April 2 (24/7 Wall St.). Today’s $114.33 surge (up 18.72%) is nuts—hit $106.41 at 1:15 PM PDT, then $114.231 by 3:30 PM PDT (real-time 1D)—“tariff pause rocket,” says CNN (April 9).
- Tariff Pause Boost: Trump’s 90-day tariff hold (except China at 125%, Reuters, April 9) at 10:00 AM PDT sparked a market rally—SPY up 6.4% (X @MWellerFX). NVDA’s China biz ($17B, 13% revenue, X @amitisinvesting) still hurts, but “relief outweighs it,” says Forbes (April 9).
- Why It’s Hot: AI chip demand’s insane—data centers grew 409% in 2023 (FXOpen)—and today’s Google Cloud Vera Rubin GPU deal (TipRanks, April 9) adds fuel. “NVDA’s the AI backbone,” says Bloomberg (April 4).
- Analyst Vibes: “Strong Buy” from 37 of 41 analysts (MarketBeat)—12-month target $173.49 (up 51.74%, StockAnalysis.com). High: $235.92, low: $113—“rebound potential,” says Reuters (April 9).
- Investor Takeaway: NVDA at $114.33—riding a tariff pause wave (Reuters) with AI strength (Forbes). Could hit $130 in weeks if hype holds (Bloomberg), but China’s a drag—buy if you like the ride!
GLHR Takeaway
NVDA’s at $114.33 today—up 18.72% (real-time data)—thanks to Trump’s 90-day tariff pause (Reuters) and AI buzz (CNN). After a $2.4 trillion market hit (Reuters), it’s a bright spot—could climb higher if talks go well. Full scoop at glhrinvesting.com!
