Today Nvidia spiked higher, trading up as much as 11%. Here are a few key reasons why:

Wall Street Says Go

The bank maintains a $144 price target on the stock, a full 21% higher than where shares are after today’s surge. Further, Moore added the stock to the top pick list for private clients.

AMD Says Go

AMD (Nasdaq: AMD) released earnings last night, smashing expectations on the back of robust data center sales. The appetite for compute continues to exceed all expectations here. On a YoY basis earnings increased 19%, while sales grew 9%. Data centers jumped an incredible 115% year over year to $2.83 billion. What’s more, the company forecast sales higher. The market is seeing this as a sign that Nvidia, whose chips are very much the leader in this space, will do even better.

Pelosi Says Go

Shorts Say No

Nvidia may be one of the most painful companies to be short the last few years. While well shy of the double digit short interest  Nvidia saw between 2015 – 2017 the company, short interest has been rising steadily through this year as shares have rallied. At the start of 2024 short interest stood at 1%, and at early June it had spiked nearly 30% to 1.3% of shares outstanding. With the recent pull back shorts are clearly taking money off the table to avoid a total blowout on a rally like today.
