Nvidia reaches record $243.37 per share, nearing $6 trillion market cap threshold
Question
Nvidia reaches record $243.37 per share, nearing $6 trillion market cap threshold
Direct answer
Multiple expansion across AI compute bellwethers drives semiconductor sector beta through heavy SMH and QQQ index weighting. — bullish pressure on NVDA via index weight-driven inflows and multiple re-rating.
