What's Going on With NVIDIA Stock Thursday?

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock was up slightly in Thursday’s premarket session as improving risk sentiment lifted large-cap technology stocks. Nasdaq futures gained 0.61%, while S&P 500 futures rose 0.21%.

The stock is also attempting to stabilize after its June pullback. Traders are now watching whether it can hold above near-term support and extend its recovery toward the mid-$200 area.

AI Trade Broadens Beyond NVIDIA

The rebound comes after a sharp valuation reset. According to a Bloomberg report, NVIDIA has lost roughly $1 trillion in market value since its May 14 record high, leaving the stock trading at its cheapest valuation since before the artificial intelligence boom despite continued strength in its underlying business.

Bloomberg reported that the shares have fallen 16% as investors rotated into other semiconductor stocks, particularly memory chip makers such as Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU).

Analysts say the lower valuation reflects shifting investor sentiment rather than weaker fundamentals. Despite the multiple compressions, Bloomberg said Wall Street continues to raise earnings estimates.

NVIDIA is projected to deliver 82% revenue growth and 90% profit growth in fiscal 2027. Bloomberg Intelligence data also show the company increased its server GPU market share to 97% at the end of 2025.

China May Allow NVIDIA H200 Chip Purchases: Report

Separately, Chinese officials recently told Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA), ByteDance, and DeepSeek that they may soon receive permission to purchase some NVIDIA H200 chips, the Information reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Technical Analysis

NVIDIA is trading about 1.3% above its 20-day simple moving average of $201.69. However, it remains roughly 2.5% below its 50-day SMA of $209.52, suggesting the intermediate trend is still recovering rather than firmly bullish.

The longer-term outlook remains constructive. The stock trades about 3.6% above its 100-day SMA of $197.27 and 6.8% above its 200-day SMA of $191.40.

Momentum also remains balanced. The relative strength index stands at 50.60, indicating neither buyers nor sellers currently have a clear advantage.

The moving averages present a mixed picture. The 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA, reflecting weaker short-term momentum. However, the 50-day SMA continues to hold above the 200-day SMA, supporting the longer-term uptrend.

Key resistance sits near $214, just above the 50-day SMA, while key support is around $199.50, near the 20-day and 100-day moving averages.

A sustained move above $214 could improve the technical outlook. Conversely, a break below $199.50 could shift attention toward the 100-day and eventually the 200-day moving averages.

Earnings And Analyst Outlook

The company’s next earnings report is expected on Aug. 26, 2026.

Wall Street expects earnings of $2.07 per share, up from $1.04 a year earlier. Revenue is projected to reach $91.70 billion, compared with $46.74 billion in the prior-year quarter.
