Following a record-breaking $277 billion market cap boost after its fiscal Q4 earnings, Nvidia has announced a jaw-dropping 10-for-1 stock split, reflecting a 25-fold increase in share value over the last five years.

With a projected revenue of $28 billion for the current quarter, Nvidia is once again outperforming market expectations.
The AI Growth Odyssey
Nvidia’s transition to the new Blackwell chips has investors on edge, but assurances from CEO Jensen Huang that Blackwell revenue will come in this year have calmed anxieties.
