NVIDIA Corp

Jim Cramer believes that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is poised to get a significant boost with the U.S. government assuring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46407517/nvidia-resumes-h20-shipments-to-china-as-jensen-huang-meets-trump-beijing-officials-fully-compliant-rtx-pro-aims-to-bridge-ai-cold-war">licenses for the sale of its H20 chips</a> or general processing units to China, a move that could considerably impact market sentiment.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/nvda">NVDA stock here</a>.
What Happened: This development follows a period where U.S. export curbs, initiated in April, had effectively halted H20 chip sales to Beijing, despite the chips being designed to bypass earlier controls.
The news has drawn immediate and enthusiastic reactions from market commentators. Cramer, host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; took to X and said, &#8220;This Nvidia news, so huge, could turn the Nasdaq futures around.&#8221;

Nvidia confirmed the breakthrough in a statement Tuesday, expressing hopes to &#8220;start deliveries soon.&#8221;
This turnaround comes after extensive lobbying efforts by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, including a meeting last week with U.S. President Donald Trump, where Huang reiterated Nvidia&#8217;s commitment to American job creation and AI leadership. Cramer also appreciated Huang for his efforts to turn this around.

The potential change in U.S. stance also aligns with a preliminary trade framework agreed upon last month between Washington and Beijing, which included the easing of tech export curbs.

Jim Cramer Says Nvidia Getting Trump Approval For H20 Sales To China Is 'So Huge, Could Turn The Nasdaq Futures Around'

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) announced it will resume sales of its H20 GPU to China and unveiled a new RTX PRO graphics processor designed specifically for Chinese customers, according to a company statement released Monday.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/nvda">NVDA stock here</a>.
What Happened: CEO Jensen Huang said during visits to Washington and Beijing that Nvidia is filing applications to sell the H20 GPU again, with the U.S. government providing assurances that licenses will be granted. The company expects to begin deliveries soon, according to Nvidia.
The new RTX PRO GPU is &#8220;fully compliant&#8221; with U.S. export controls and &#8220;ideal for digital twin AI for smart factories and logistics,&#8221; Huang announced. The chip represents Nvidia&#8217;s latest effort to maintain market share in China while navigating heightened trade restrictions.
The announcements come as Huang conducted diplomatic visits to both capitals this month. In Washington, he met with President Donald Trump and policymakers, reaffirming Nvidia&#8217;s support for domestic AI infrastructure and manufacturing initiatives. In Beijing, he discussed AI productivity benefits with government and industry officials.

Why It Matters: The H20 resumption marks a significant development for NVIDIA&#8217;s Chinese operations. U.S. export controls have restricted semiconductor firms from selling advanced AI chips to Chinese customers, forcing NVIDIA to develop modified versions for the Chinese market.
Huang previously told CNN that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46397545/nvidias-jensen-huang-china-doesnt-need-us-chips">Chinese military forces don&#8217;t use Nvidia chips</a> due to export restrictions. &#8220;They don&#8217;t need Nvidia&#8217;s chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build their military,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They simply can&#8217;t rely on it.&#8221;
The CEO emphasized that &#8220;general-purpose, open-source research and foundation models are the backbone of AI innovation&#8221; during his Washington meetings. He argued that making U.S. technology accessible globally encourages nations to choose American technology stacks.
NVIDIA&#8217;s China strategy faces scrutiny after reports that a Chinese AI firm, DeepSeek, allegedly used shell companies to obtain H100 chips while supporting China&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46397545/nvidias-jensen-huang-china-doesnt-need-us-chips">military and intelligence agencies</a>. 
Earlier this year, Nvidia was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45644145/nvidia-stock-is-bullish-ahead-of-q1-earnings-but-will-h20-chip-woes-dampen-the-party" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">forced to halt shipments</a>&nbsp;of its China-specific&nbsp;H20&nbsp;AI chips after the U.S. government determined a special license was required, costing the company $2.5 billion in potential revenue in the first quarter.
Price Action: Nvidia shares traded at $163.87 in after-hours Monday, down 0.64% from the regular session close of $164.07. The stock gained 3.20% in overnight trading on Robinhood, reaching $169.41.

Nvidia Resumes H20 Shipments To China As Jensen Huang Meets Trump, Beijing Officials — 'Fully Compliant' RTX PRO Aims To Bridge AI Cold War

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">set to attend</a> the opening ceremony of China's international supply chain expo in Beijing on Wednesday. 
What Happened: The event is organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which confirmed Huang&#8217;s attendance, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, reported Reuters on Tuesday.&nbsp;
On Sunday, Nvidia officials also said Huang will hold a media briefing the same day.
Huang is also reportedly expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">meet with senior Chinese officials</a>, including Premier Li Qiang and Vice Premier He Lifeng, during the International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing, though final approval of the meetings is still pending.

Why It's Important: Huang's presence at the expo comes as Nvidia navigates heightened U.S.-China trade tensions and increased export restrictions on advanced AI chips.
Over the weekend, Huang said in a CNN interview that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46397545/nvidias-jensen-huang-china-doesnt-need-us-chips">Chinese military isn't using</a> Nvidia's chips, noting that China can't rely on U.S. technology for its military since access could be cut off at any time.
Previously, it was also reported that Nvidia was planning to launch a scaled-down version of its Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 AI chip in China that complies with U.S. export controls.
The new chip, which drops advanced features like high-bandwidth memory and NVLink, is designed specifically for the Chinese market and could be unveiled as soon as September.
Price Action: Nvidia shares slipped 0.12% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings show that Nvidia maintains strong upward momentum across short, medium and long-term trends. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">You can find more detailed performance insights here</a>.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>) stock surged on Monday after Goldman Sachs analyst Alexander Duval <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NBIS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">initiated coverage with</a> a Buy rating and announced a price target of $68.
Duval noted that Nebius is emerging as a key player in the fast-growing AI Neoclouds space — a niche segment within the broader GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) market. The analyst pointed out that this market allows AI startups, enterprises and hyperscalers to rent GPU infrastructure remotely via the cloud to run large-scale AI training and inference workloads.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46388272/goldman-sachs-sees-53-upside-in-nebius-group-calls-ai-infrastructure-undervalued" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Goldman Sachs Sees 53% Upside In Nebius Group, Calls AI Infrastructure &#8216;Undervalued&#8217;</a>
Unlike traditional bare-metal providers or general-purpose cloud platforms, Nebius offers a vertically integrated solution explicitly tailored for AI demands.
The company customizes its hardware racks to optimize power efficiency — up to 20% gains — while controlling its data center design and operations, Duval said. As per the analyst, this enables better performance, energy usage and customer pricing. 
Beyond hardware, Nebius&#8217; full-stack platform includes orchestration software, elastic server configurations and dedicated AI cloud services like MLOps, database management and scalable storage, he noted. Customers only pay for AI-specific services, which sets Nebius apart from hyperscalers, which offer a wide but generic suite of tools, Duval said.
The analyst noted that Nebius positions itself as a neutral and flexible alternative to cloud giants like Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google Cloud or Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services. Unlike those hyperscalers, which may develop competing AI models, AI Neoclouds such as Nebius offer shorter contract terms, greater customer data control and zero conflict of interest. This makes Nebius particularly attractive to startups and enterprise clients wary of handing over sensitive models or datasets, as per the analyst.
He noted that the company also leverages its roots in Yandex — where it operated hyper-scale workloads across services like search, ride-hailing, food delivery and music — to demonstrate technical and operational expertise at scale. Its AI Studio platform also offers Inference-as-a-Service, helping customers deploy and manage LLMs in production without building custom infrastructure.
Duval noted that Nebius is well-positioned to scale financially. As of first-quarter 2025, it holds $1.4 billion in net cash and has raised an additional $1 billion in convertible debt to fund its global expansion. He said that with major buildouts underway in New Jersey and other international locations, the company&#8217;s flexible strategy (co-location, build-to-suit and greenfield deployment) enables rapid growth while optimizing capital utilization.
Nebius is already serving hyperscale AI labs — for example, CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) supports OpenAI and Microsoft Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) — and is poised to deepen relationships in this segment, Duval noted. Its ties with NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), which faces reduced reliance on in-house chips from hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon, further strengthen its position as a trusted GPU infrastructure partner, per the analyst.
Nebius projects a revenue CAGR above 50% from 2025 to 2030, with margins expected to rise as the business scales. AI infrastructure is forecast to drive around 90% of total revenue by 2030, growing to $5.9 billion by then, Duval noted. Inference, which now accounts for about a third of AI server demand, is projected to reach two-thirds by 2027, boosting utilization of depreciated GPUs and improving profitability, as per the analyst.
He noted that in addition to scaling inference and training workloads, Nebius sees upside from multimodal AI (e.g., voice, video), sovereign AI projects like Stargate and InvestAI, and broader enterprise adoption. All these trends underscore the demand for flexible, AI-native infrastructure and position Nebius to be a long-term winner in the GPUaaS market, as per the analyst.
Duval projected fiscal 2025 sales of $632.3 million and EPS loss of $(3.00).
NBIS Price Action: Nebius stock is up 16.37% at $51.55 at publication on Monday.

Nebius Emerges As Neutral AI Cloud Alternative, Deepens Ties With Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft: Analyst

NVIDIA's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NYSE">NVDA</a>) short percent of float has risen 18.18% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 243.03 million shares sold short, which is 1.04% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.22 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>NVIDIA Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752512417_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NVIDIA has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing NVIDIA's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NVIDIA's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.63%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What Does the Market Think About NVIDIA?

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said that the Chinese military is not using <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jensen-huang">his company's chips</a> due to export controls and tensions between the U.S. and China. 
The Details: Speaking in a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/13/world/video/gps0713-nvidia-us-china-ai">interview</a> on Sunday, Huang argued that China cannot depend on U.S.-made technology for its military needs because access to such technology could be restricted at any time.&nbsp;
"It could be limited at any time; not to mention, there's plenty of computing capacity in China already," Huang said.&nbsp;
"They don't need Nvidia's chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build their military," he added.&nbsp; "They simply can't rely on it."
Read Next:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/07/46355532/unitedhealth-hits-reset-new-head-of-medicaid-appointed-as-ceo-reshapes-team?utm_source=articleShare"> UnitedHealth Hits Reset: New Head Of Medicaid Appointed As CEO Reshapes Team</a>&nbsp;
Huang's remarks come in the context of U.S. export controls that restrict semiconductor firms from selling their most advanced AI chips to Chinese customers.&nbsp;
The Nvidia CEO reiterated his criticism of the export restrictions, saying they have been counterproductive to the United States' goal of maintaining technological leadership. 
According to Huang, for American technology to become the global standard, it must be accessible to all AI developers worldwide—including those in China, who make up about half of the global talent pool.
Industry analysts, such as Daniel Newman of The Futurum Group, note that Huang is carefully balancing relations between Washington and Beijing with an approach designed to keep Nvidia positioned for future opportunities in China while avoiding actions that could provoke U.S. policymakers.
"He needs to walk a proverbial tightrope to make sure that he doesn't rattle the Trump administration," Newman <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/14/nvidias-jensen-huang-downplays-us-china-concerns-ahead-of-trip.html">told</a> CNBC.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Last month, a senior U.S. government official told Reuters that Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46062695/nvidia-deepseek-ai-chips-us-china-military-news">actively supporting</a> China's military and intelligence agencies while finding ways to bypass American restrictions on advanced semiconductor exports.&nbsp;
DeepSeek is alleged to have used shell companies in Southeast Asia and other workarounds to obtain large quantities of Nvidia's H100 chips, which are subject to strict export controls. Multiple sources familiar with the situation confirmed that DeepSeek acquired these chips after the U.S. ban was implemented.
What Else: Huang is preparing to leave on his second trip to China this year as Nvidia works on a new chip that will meet the latest export rules.&nbsp;
Last week, Huang also met with President Donald Trump and was warned by lawmakers not to meet with Chinese companies tied to the military or intelligence agencies, or those on the U.S. restricted list.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares were up 0.12% at $165.12 on Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in NVIDIA

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has taken the world by storm, becoming the first public company to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46326271/nvidia-breaks-4-trillion-barrier-benzinga-poll-predicted-it-first">surpass the $4 trillion </a>market capitalization milestone.
A new poll asks whether Nvidia will also be the first to hit $5 trillion or will be beaten by one of the other tech giants.
What Happened: Nvidia has quickly climbed the ranks as one of the most valuable companies in the world, first reaching a $1 trillion market cap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32630114/nvidia-becomes-ninth-company-to-hit-1-trillion-market-cap-who-could-be-next-to-join-elusive-club">in May 2023 </a>and becoming the most valuable company less than two years later.
The semiconductor giant beat Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to the punch for the latest milestone, which comes after Apple was previously the first U.S. publicly traded company to hit the $1 trillion, $2 trillion and $3 trillion market capitalization milestones.
Nvidia also beat Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) to the milestone, which comes as the two companies have often traded places as the most valuable company in the world over the last year.
Benzinga recently polled readers to ask which of the three companies will hit the next milestone first.
"Which company will be the first to reach a $5 trillion market cap?" Benzinga asked.
The results on Benzinga's Instagram were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 75%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 8%</li>
<li>Apple: 5%</li>
<li>Company not listed here: 12%</li>
</ul>
Benzinga also polled users on Threads and received the following results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 73%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 11%</li>
<li>Apple: 2%</li>
<li>Company not listed here: 13%</li>
</ul>
Both polls produced similar results, with Nvidia receiving over 70% of the vote among Benzinga readers. Microsoft placed second in both polls, with Apple ranking third among the three companies.
Coming in second place overall was the option for "Company not listed here." It could be less than 12 months before a company is valued at $5 trillion or it could be years, which means that a company currently ranking under these three companies could have time to surge up the valuation rankings or a company not currently valued at $1 trillion could also make a move similar to Nvidia.
Here are the other companies currently valued at $1 trillion or more:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>): $2.39 trillion</li>
<li>Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>): $2.19 trillion</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>): $1.81 trillion</li>
<li>Saudi Aramco: $1.61 trillion</li>

What's Next: While it may take years for a company to hit a value of $5 trillion, Benzinga readers were right in the last market capitalization poll.
In late June,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46198021/nvidia-vs-microsoft-vs-apple-which-stock-reaches-4-trillion-first" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga polled its readers</a>&nbsp;to ask which of these three tech giants would reach the $4 trillion market cap first.
The results on Instagram were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 79%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 14%</li>
<li>Apple: 7%</li>
</ul>
At the time, Nvidia had the market capitalization lead at $3.85 trillion, with Microsoft and Apple following closely behind at $3.70 trillion and $3.06 trillion, respectively.
While Nvidia&#8217;s rise to become the first $4 trillion company is historical, Benzinga readers are betting on more gains for the tech giant over the next 18 years.
President Donald Trump announced a plan to give parents $1,000 to invest for their children at birth. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/06/45973429/trump-wants-babies-to-get-1000-to-invest-at-birth-this-maginicent-7-stock-tops-poll-for-18-year-growth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga asked readers</a> which of the Magnificent 7 stocks they would invest $1,000 in today and hold for the next 18 years.

<li>Meta Platforms: 14%</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc: 12%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 12%</li>
<li>Tesla: 10%</li>
</ul>

 </style>By closely examining NVIDIA, we can identify the following trends: 
<ul>
<li>
With a Price to Earnings ratio of 53.2, which is 0.72x less than the industry average, the stock shows potential for growth at a reasonable price, making it an interesting consideration for market participants.
</li>
<li>
With a Price to Book ratio of 47.97, which is 6.38x the industry average, NVIDIA might be considered overvalued in terms of its book value, as it is trading at a higher multiple compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
The stock's relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 27.47, surpassing the industry average by 2.41x, may indicate an aspect of overvaluation in terms of sales performance.
</li>
<li>
The Return on Equity (ROE) of 23.01% is 19.82% above the industry average, highlighting efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
The company has lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.58 Billion, which is 0.63x below the industry average. This potentially indicates lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
Compared to its industry, the company has lower gross profit of $26.67 Billion, which indicates 0.9x below the industry average, potentially indicating lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 69.18% is notably higher compared to the industry average of 20.04%, showcasing exceptional sales performance and strong demand for its products or services.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752505222_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio assesses the extent to which a company relies on borrowed funds compared to its equity.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
In terms of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, NVIDIA stands in comparison with its top 4 peers, leading to the following comparisons:
<ul>
<li>
NVIDIA demonstrates a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers in the sector.
</li>
<li>
With a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.12, the company relies less on debt financing and maintains a healthier balance between debt and equity, which can be viewed positively by investors.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The low P/E ratio suggests that NVIDIA may be undervalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. However, the high P/B and P/S ratios indicate that the market values the company's assets and sales more highly. On the other hand, the high ROE, revenue growth, and low EBITDA and gross profit ratios suggest that NVIDIA is generating strong returns on equity and experiencing significant revenue growth, despite lower profitability margins.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 14, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

While artificial intelligence may dominate the digital sphere, this innovation wouldn't amount to much without specialized memory chips. That's where semiconductor giant Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) comes into view. True, Micron often doesn't get the frontline spotlight that enterprises like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) effortlessly command. Still, the behind-the-scenes criticality of the business translates to plenty of attention for MU stock among knowledgeable traders.
Last month, Micron disclosed its financial results for the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46104401/micron-q3-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-data-center-revenue-guidance-ai-demand"> third quarter of fiscal 2025</a>. In particular, the company reported revenue of $9.3 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $8.87 billion. On the bottom line, the semiconductor specialist reported adjusted earnings of $1.91 per share, exceeding the consensus view of $1.60.
Revenue was up roughly 16% against the year-ago quarter, benefiting from record demand in DRAM chips along with a nearly 50% sequential growth rate in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) sales. The latter product category is especially critical for accelerating AI processes. With no indication that enterprises are letting their foot off the gas regarding<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46141316/micron-a-hot-buy-heats-up-fresh-all-time-highs-are-coming"> AI spending</a>, Micron potentially stands on viable ground.
It should also be noted that MU stock could potentially be receiving investor interest based on political dynamics. Thanks to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46263399/trump-says-us-will-raise-tariffs-to-up-to-70-as-july-9-deadline-looms"> tariff policies</a> of President Donald Trump, the memory market experienced a<a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/dram-prices-have-jumped-by-20-percent-for-the-second-month-in-a-row-surging-demand-is-likely-due-to-stockpiling"> surge</a> in demand earlier this year — a consequence of opportunistic transactions in front of incoming levies.
Still, not everything is aligned optimistically for MU stock. One of the biggest concerns about the memory chip industry is that it's a<a href="https://www.orbis.com/international/institutional/insights/memory-industry-cycles-not-the-business-cycle#:~:text=Memory%20chips%2C%20the%20short%2Dterm,fab%2C%20can%20cost%20%2415%20billion."> commoditized</a> business. These semiconductors are interchangeable and pricing may eventually collapse due to various factors, such as demand erosion or excess supply among competitors. Knowledgeable traders may recognize these trends and may seek to get ahead of them, potentially causing volatility.
Moreover, investors need to be cognizant of geopolitical risks. While Micron has been trimming its dependency on China, it's still<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/23/micron-building-biggest-chip-fab-in-us-history-despite-china-ban.html"> exposed</a> to the world's second-largest economy. While the Trump administration has been<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/macro-notification/25/06/45876366/howard-lutnick-says-us-and-china-reached-a-framework-to-implement-geneva-consensus-following-trump-xi-call-csi-300-index-gains"> making progress regarding diplomatic and trade relations</a>, tensions are still relatively high. Therefore, a fracturing of this tenuous bond may present problems for MU stock.
The Direxion ETFs: With Micron caught in a sentiment tug-of-war, traders on both sides of the aisle have reason to consider Direxion's MU-focused exchange-traded funds. For optimistic speculators, the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-mu-bull-and-bear-leveraged-single-stock-etfs?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Text&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_MUU-MUD">Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUU#NASDAQ">MUU</a>) seeks the daily investment results of 200% of the performance of MU stock. On the other hand, the <a href="https://www.direxion.com/product/daily-mu-bull-and-bear-leveraged-single-stock-etfs?utm_source=Referral&amp;utm_medium=Text&amp;utm_source_platform=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=LandI_Product_MUU-MUD">Direxion Daily Bear 1X Shares</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MUD#NASDAQ">MUD</a>) seeks 100% of the inverse performance of the namesake security.
In either case, the core attribute that drives these products is convenience. Typically, those seeking leveraged opportunities or participating in short positions must engage the options market. However, derivative financial products carry complexities that not all market participants may wish to accept. In contrast, Direxion ETFs can be bought and sold like any other publicly traded security, thereby mitigating the learning curve.
Nevertheless, these funds have certain risks to be aware of. Number one, leveraged and inverse ETFs tend to be more volatile than standard funds tracking the benchmark equities index. Number two, Direxion ETFs are designed for exposure lasting one trading session. Holding these products for longer than recommended may result in value decay due to the daily compounding phenomenon.
The MUU ETF: Since the start of the year, the MUU ETF has gained nearly 58% of value, magnifying the performance of MU stock.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A relatively new financial product, the MUU ETF has been on a rally since April, shooting the price action above its 20-day exponential moving average (on a weekly scale).</li>
<li>As impressive as its recent performance has been, the acceleration in the bull fund has slowed noticeably since mid-June, warranting a closer look.</li>
</ul>

The MUD ETF: From January's opening volley, the MUD ETF has struggled for traction, with the bear fund losing almost 45%,
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In contrast to the bull fund, the MUD ETF is noticeably below its 20-day EMA (again, on a weekly scale), demonstrating persistent weakness.</li>
<li>It's notable that since late June, the bear fund appears to have stabilized, which may intrigue pessimistic speculators.</li>
</ul>

Direxion's Micron-Focused MUU, MUD ETFs Garner Attention Amid The AI Boom

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) has initiated coverage on Nebius Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>) with a Buy rating and a price target of $68. This suggests a potential upside of about 53.49% from the stock&#8217;s closing price on Friday.
What Happened: Goldman Sachs identified Nebius as a major player in the AI Neocloud market, offering AI GPU infrastructure rental services that support the fast-growing Generative AI sector, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/goldman-sachs-initiates-nebius-group-stock-with-buy-rating-68-target-93CH-4132970">reported</a> Investing.com.
The investment bank emphasized Nebius's key strengths, including its comprehensive software suite, cost efficiency, and proven ability to operate at scale—advantages that set it apart from other GPU rental providers. While the stock has seen recent gains, Goldman Sachs believes Nebius's AI infrastructure business is still undervalued relative to its industry peers.

Goldman Sachs anticipates a "supportive catalyst path" over the next 12 months, which it believes will drive further stock outperformance and reinforce the firm's positive risk-reward outlook.
Why It Matters: Nebius Group has been making significant strides in the AI industry. The company&#8217;s stock has seen a staggering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46375205/nebius-group-up-385-analysts-say-its-still-a-bargain">385% year-over-year revenue growth</a> in its latest quarter. In the first quarter of 2025, the company posted revenues of $55.3 million, marking a 385% increase compared to the same period last year.
Nebius Group is among the earliest adopters of Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) full-stack approach to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/45993702/why-nebius-group-is-one-of-the-top-ai-stocks-to-watch">AI infrastructure</a> and is a Reference Platform NVIDIA Cloud Partner.

Cliff Hou, Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s senior vice president and deputy co-COO, will immediately take over the materials management division, which has already been under his supervision.
Lee, who joined Taiwan Semiconductor in 2022, rose quickly, becoming vice president in August 2023. She developed systems to forecast supplier demand and monitor supply chain performance. Taiwan Semiconductor credited her with helping the company navigate supply chain disruptions during the 2020 pandemic.

Before joining Taiwan Semiconductor, Lee held senior supply chain roles at Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), gaining over a decade of experience in global sourcing and procurement.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged almost 17% year-to-date, topping the PHLX Semiconductor Index&#8217;s over 14% (whose components include Nvidia (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor. The company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46338109/tsmc-reports-solid-half-year-revenue-june-sees-monthly-decline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter 2025</a> revenue of 933.79 billion New Taiwan dollars (about $31.9 billion), up from 839.25 billion ($25.5 billion) New Taiwan dollars in the first quarter. This marks a 38.6% year-over-year increase, surpassing the company&#8217;s guidance of $28.4 billion to $29.2 billion issued in April.
Bloomberg analyst Charles Shum credited the strong results to surging AI-related demand from chipmakers like Nvidia and growing outsourcing orders from Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>). He noted that this momentum is helping offset weakness in the mobile and consumer electronics sectors, keeping Taiwan Semiconductor on track to achieve its 25% annual sales-growth target in U.S. dollars.
Shum added that operating margins may land near the lower end of guidance, around 47%, due to a weaker U.S. dollar.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor is accelerating its U.S. expansion plans, reportedly shifting focus to American operations amid potential chip import tariffs from Washington.
Price Action:&nbsp;TSM stock is trading lower by 0.10% to $230.17 premarket at last check Monday.

Taiwan Semiconductor's Top Supply Chain Executive Exits

A Reddit user claims to have turned disaster into triumph after nearly blowing his mother&#8217;s $800,000 retirement account, before mounting a stellar recovery to a profit of $4 million in just 3 months, via aggressive options trading.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UNH stock here.</a>
What Happened: On Reddit&#8217;s /r/WallStreetBets community on Saturday, a user with the name Solid-Sock-1794 described his 18-month-long trading journey using his mother&#8217;s retirement, which he says, &#8220;she was more than ok with.&#8221;
During this period, he claims to have significantly outperformed the markets by trading options contracts on high-volatility stocks such as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Hims &amp; Hers Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HIMS#NYSE">HIMS</a>). His strategy involved buying near or at-the-money call options with expirations two to five months down the line.
He says the expirations would ideally involve one earnings event in the window, while holding through the actual earnings days.

This strategy, however, failed to stand the test of volatility in April, during what he refers to as &#8220;Tariff BS,&#8221; following which the account plummeted to $800,000. Since then, the account has made a strong 575% recovery, with an ending balance of $5.4 million.
The user credits this recovery to opportunistic scalps during sharp pullbacks, citing the example of Alphabet&#8217;s shares, following Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Congressional Testimony that suggested <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45536887/this-is-the-first-time-in-two-decades-that-google-is-extremely-vulnerableperplexitys-ceo-breaks-down-search-giants-margin-trap">a decline in Google search</a> traffic on Safari for the very first time in history.
As of Friday, the user disclosed he's 85% in cash, with the remaining 15% allocated to QQQ or Nasdaq puts and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) calls. 
Citing ongoing trade uncertainty involving the European Union and Canada, he summed up his outlook and strategy going forward with a signature WSB refrain: &#8220;TACO's gonna TACO.&#8221; 
Here, the user is referring to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45665026/trump-always-chickens-out-president-confronted-with-taco-trade-thesis-by-reporteras-markets-bet-hell-blink-again">&#8220;Trump Always Chickens Out&#8221; trade</a>, where traders make bets as soon as President Donald Trump issues fresh tariff threats, knowing fully well that he won&#8217;t follow through with them, something that&#8217;s repeated several times in recent months.

Why It Matters: Late last month, as the deadline for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46180782/trumps-tariff-clock-ticks-but-taco-traders-arent-losing-their-cool">90-day pause approached</a>, traders did not lose their cool, deciding to lean instead into the &#8220;TACO&#8221; pattern, betting that Trump would soften his stance before inflicting lasting market damage.
Last week, as Trump began issuing more tariff threats and letters to key trading partners, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/07/46325008/copper-hits-a-record-on-trumps-threat-more-investors-join-taco-trade-fed-minutes-ahead">investors continued to buy</a>, once again putting their faith in the fact that, once all is said and done, the tariffs will not be as harsh as they are set out to be.

User Sensitive_Reveal_227 claimed to have acquired 303 shares in the health insurance provider after selling his house, and without informing his wife, in hopes of a recovery in the beaten-down stock, following the assassination of its former CEO, the abrupt exit of its new CEO, and speculations of a DOJ criminal investigation, which the company quickly denied.
The company&#8217;s shares have remained largely flat since then, with no recovery in sight, and still trading at over 50% below its all-time high in November 2024.
Price Action: Shares of UnitedHealth were up 1.53% on Friday, trading at $304.10, and are down 0.35% in after-hours trading.

WallStreetBets Trader Nuked Mom's $800K IRA, Then Flipped It Into $4 Million With Options In Just 3 Months: His Strategy? 'TACO's Gonna TACO'

Marc Benioff, CEO of&nbsp;Salesforce&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), has dismissed fears that artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to mass layoffs of white-collar workers.
What Happened: Benioff shared his views on AI during an&nbsp;interview at the 2025 AI&nbsp;for Good Global Summit, as reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marc-benioff-ai-white-collar-jobs-salesforce-2025-7">Business Insider</a>. He stated that AI would not lead to a significant reduction in white-collar jobs but would instead lead to &#8220;a radical augmentation of the workforce.&#8221;
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/CRM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CRM stock here</a>.
Benioff&#8217;s viewpoint differs from that of other tech leaders. For instance, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned that AI could potentially eliminate as much as 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs over the next five years.
The Salesforce CEO urged people to move beyond this &#8220;fear,&#8221; stating that his customers aren&#8217;t laying off employees due to AI advancements. Instead, he sees AI as a tool for amplifying the capabilities of businesses, particularly small and medium-sized ones.
Despite the differing opinions, Benioff has put a pause on hiring engineers, lawyers as well and customer service agents at Salesforce for the year, to allow for the full integration of AI productivity. However, the company is increasing its sales-related hires due to the growing demand for AI deployment amid anticipation for major growth in small and medium businesses.

Why It Matters: Benioff&#8217;s stance on AI&#8217;s role in the workforce is not new. In June, he revealed in an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46135663/marc-benioff-says-ai-now-handles-up-to-50-of-work-at-salesforce-could-an-ai-agent-eventually-take-over-his-job">interview</a>&nbsp;that AI was handling up to 50% of tasks at Salesforce, boosting productivity in key functions. This aligns with his current view of AI as a workforce augmenter.
However, not all tech leaders share Benioff&#8217;s optimism. Last week, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380955/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-warns-ai-could-replace-jobs-if-innovation-stalls-if-the-world-runs-out-of-ideas">warned</a>&nbsp;that AI could replace jobs if industries fail to innovate. Similarly, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44522899/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-could-write-90-of-code-in-3-to-6-months-warns-every-industry-will-be-affected">predicted</a>&nbsp;in March 2025 that AI could handle nearly all coding tasks within a year.
As AI continues to evolve, the debate on its impact on the workforce is likely to intensify. The differing views of tech leaders underscore the need for businesses to carefully navigate the integration of AI into their operations.

Marc Benioff Dismisses AI Panic, Says White-Collar Workforce Won't Be Wiped Out

On Monday, Malaysia&#8217;s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry announced that any export, transshipment, or transit of high-performance artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45875791/trumps-ai-czar-david-sacks-dismisses-ai-chip-smuggling-fears-warns-over-regulation-could-hand-ai-dominance-to-china-we-talk-about-these-chips-like-they-could-be-smuggled-in-the-back-of-a">chips of U.S. origin</a> will now require a government-issued trade permit, effective immediately.
What Happened: The ministry said companies must notify authorities at least 30 days in advance if moving such items, even if they are not listed on Malaysia's current strategic goods registry, reported Reuters.
"Malaysia stands firm against any attempt to circumvent export controls or engage in illicit trade activities by any individual or company," the ministry said in a statement, adding that violators will face strict legal action.
The move aims to close regulatory loopholes while officials consider adding high-performance AI chips to Malaysia's list of strategic items.

Why It's Important: The announcement follows U.S. pressure to stop the flow of restricted chips—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44102734/nvidia-chip-fraud-probe-malaysia-vows-necessary-action-but-admits-we-dont-know-where-servers-went">especially from</a> Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)—to China, amid mounting concerns over their use in advanced AI development and military applications.
In March, Malaysia's Trade Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said the country would take "necessary action" if domestic firms were involved in allegedly fraudulent Nvidia chip transshipments via Singapore.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the U.S. government is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46266218/us-plans-to-restrict-ai-chip-exports-to-malaysia-thailand-to-curb-diversion-to-china">considering new export restrictions</a> on AI chips, including Nvidia's, to Malaysia and Thailand to prevent China from obtaining them through intermediaries.
Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is reportedly planning a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46336670/nvidia-prepares-china-specific-ai-chip-amid-us-export-curbs-as-ceo-jensen-huang-plans-beijing-visit-next-week-to-reassure-market-report">diplomatic visit to China</a>, where the company aims to launch a scaled-down version of its AI chip, modified to meet U.S. export rules.
The new chip, based on the Blackwell RTX Pro 6000 but without advanced features, could be unveiled as soon as September.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings show that Nvidia maintains solid upward momentum across short, medium and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound'">More detailed performance information is available here</a>.

Nvidia, Other US Origin AI Chips Shipments To China Will Now Require Trade Permits, Says Malaysia, Rule Violators To Face Strict Action

A Reddit user recently opened up about a common fear many new investors face: buying into the stock market when prices are peaking. &#8220;I feel weird about starting investing when companies are in an all-time high,&#8221; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1lwwbxm/i_feel_silly_buying_at_an_all_time_high/">wrote</a> the poster, who said they&#8217;re ready to invest a lump sum this month but are second-guessing the timing.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Worrying About The Peak</h2>
The person, who isn&#8217;t currently invested outside of a 401(k), said they believe in the long-term potential of AI and tech companies. They&#8217;re not expecting massive short-term gains, but they do hope that &#8220;the current top companies with a combined market cap of 10T might be worth 2-3x more 20 years from now.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>
Their hesitation comes at a time when the markets continue to break records. On July 10, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed roughly 0.4% in a continuation of recent gains across major indexes. The S&amp;P 500 inched up 0.3% to finish at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46359566/sp-500-settles-at-record-high-as-delta-air-lines-stock-surges-fear-greed-index-remains-in-extreme-greed-zone">new record high</a> of 6,280.46, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.1% to mark its second consecutive all-time high. AI chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) closed slightly higher, ending the day just above a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46326271/nvidia-breaks-4-trillion-barrier-benzinga-poll-predicted-it-first">$4 trillion market cap</a>, making it the first public company in history to surpass that milestone.
The post triggered many responses from Reddit&#8217;s r/stocks community, most urging the user to stop overthinking and just start investing.
&#8220;If you bought at the all time highs for each year, you wouldn&#8217;t be far from those who perfectly timed the bottoms,&#8221; one investor said, referencing data that shows time in the market typically beats trying to time the market.
Another pointed out that the market is almost always at a high. &#8220;Zoom out, the market is usually near or at ATH,&#8221; they wrote.

Plenty of commenters acknowledged the fear of losing money right after a big buy.

&#8220;DCA isn't to get the most gains, it's to remove the possibility of buying a large sum and having it crash right after,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;It's like buying insurance.&#8221;
Others were more straightforward. &#8220;There's always a reason not to buy,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;When you lose out on thousands years from now, not getting in, you'll regret it.&#8221;

One Redditor shared their own anxiety-ridden journey as a new investor who inherited money from a parent: &#8220;Sometimes I feel like the more informed I am, the worse my returns have become.&#8221;
There was also plenty of humor in the thread. &#8220;Just know that as soon as you buy, the market will crash. That&#8217;s the law of this subreddit,&#8221; joked one top comment.
Despite the jokes and differing strategies, most commenters echoed the same long-term philosophy: invest early, stay consistent, and don't let fear paralyze you. As one put it, &#8220;You can buy at all time highs today or at all time highs five years from now. Your choice.&#8221;

Consumer Tech News (July 7–July 11): Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion, Japan Tariffs Rattle Markets, Hopes Rise For Trump–Xi Summit

Jensen Huang, co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, is on the verge of overtaking investment guru&nbsp;Warren Buffett&nbsp;in terms of net worth, thanks to the skyrocketing value of his company.
What Happened:&nbsp;Huang&#8217;s net worth has skyrocketed to $142 billion, marking an impressive increase of $27.6 billion since the beginning of the year. 
This wealth explosion is primarily due to&nbsp;his roughly 3.5% stake in&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>),&nbsp;the world&#8217;s most valuable public&nbsp;company at present.
Last week, Nvidia&#8217;s market cap momentarily reached the $4 trillion milestone, a historic first. The company&#8217;s stock has risen by 22% year-to-date, fueled by the robust demand for its computer chips in the AI technology sector.&nbsp;
Loop Capital analyst Ananda Baruah&nbsp;suggests that Nvidia&#8217;s market valuation could potentially reach a staggering $6 trillion, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-could-soon-be-richer-than-warren-buffett.html">reports</a> CNBC. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45485072/if-i-were-a-student-today-heres-how-id-use-ai-to-do-my-job-better-says-nvidia-ceo">If I Were A Student Today, Here&#8217;s How I&#8217;d Use AI To Do My Job Better, Says Nvidia CEO</a>
In contrast, Buffett&#8217;s net worth, currently estimated at $144 billion, has seen a modest increase of $2.19 billion since the start of the year. 
Despite the strong performance of his holding company,&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Huang could soon outstrip Buffett in the wealth rankings due to Nvidia&#8217;s rapid growth.
It&#8217;s important to note, however, that Nvidia&#8217;s business has faced considerable market volatility in 2025, and&nbsp;Huang&#8217;s net worth isn&#8217;t guaranteed&nbsp;to surpass Buffett&#8217;s. Despite these uncertainties, Nvidia has been on a roll on Wall Street since June.
Why It Matters: The potential shift in wealth rankings underscores the increasing value of technology companies, particularly those in the AI sector. 
Nvidia&#8217;s meteoric rise reflects the growing demand for advanced computer chips, a trend that is likely to continue as AI technology evolves. This could further bolster Huang&#8217;s net worth, potentially solidifying his position above Buffett. 
However, the volatile nature of the tech market means that this is far from certain. 
The coming months will reveal whether Huang can maintain his company&#8217;s impressive growth trajectory and secure his position in the wealth rankings.
