    Question

    Nvidia reaches record high of $243.37 approaching $6 trillion valuation milestone

    Direct answer

    Nvidia marked a new all-time high of $243.37 per share, placing the company roughly 4% below a $6 trillion market capitalization. The advance continues to concentrate heavy weighting within large-cap indices. The company trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 30, relative to competitor multiples of 166 for AMD and 103 for Intel, while consensus estimates project 67% revenue growth. — bullish pressure on SMH.
