NVIDIA’s Stock Soars to New Highs – Analysts Eye Further Gains

NVIDIA (NVDA) Today — Nov. 6, 2025: Huang clarifies China AI-race remarks; U.K. honor crowns AI leadership; VAST Data–CoreWeave inks $1.17B deal; NVDA trades near $195 ahead of Nov. 19 earnings

Top headlines at a glance

  • Huang’s China comments — and clarification. After reports that CEO Jensen Huang said “China is going to win the AI race,” Nvidia pointed to his follow-up post saying China is “nanoseconds behind America” and urged the U.S. to “race ahead” by winning developers worldwide. Reuters also notes his remarks came amid ongoing U.S. export limits and recent political statements about restricting top-end GPUs. [1]
  • Prestige U.K. honors for Nvidia leadership. Jensen Huang and Chief Scientist Bill Dally were named laureates of the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for foundational work in accelerated computing; Huang also received the Professor Stephen Hawking Fellowship at the Cambridge Union during a week of AI-focused events in London. [2]
  • Ecosystem deal of the day.VAST Data signed a $1.17 billion multi‑year agreement with CoreWeave to serve as the neocloud’s primary data platform—another sign of heavy build‑out around Nvidia-powered AI infrastructure. (Both firms have deep ties to Nvidia’s ecosystem and investors.) [3]

What changed today — and why it matters

1) Huang’s China remarks move from sound bite to strategy

Reuters reports that Huang’s “China will win” comment—made on the sidelines of the FT Future of AI Summit—was followed hours later by a clarification on X emphasizing that America can win by accelerating innovation and courting global developers, including those in China. He reiterated that policy should avoid ceding half the world’s AI developer base. The report also notes U.S. export controls remain a flashpoint; Nvidia hasn’t sought China licenses, and recent comments by the U.S. president about reserving top Blackwell chips for domestic customers underscore the policy uncertainty surrounding Nvidia’s fastest GPUs. Takeaway: today’s messaging tries to align geopolitics with Nvidia’s developer‑first strategy while sidestepping direct sales into China. [4]

2) International recognition bolsters Nvidia’s “national infrastructure” narrative

This afternoon, Nvidia’s blog confirmed Huang and Dally received the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for accelerated computing—technology that underpins modern AI. The QEPrize site lists both leaders among seven laureates, and U.K. outlets reported the King discussed AI risks with honorees during the ceremony. Why investors care: awards aren’t revenue, but they reinforce Nvidia’s position at the core of AI’s hardware+software stack and support its global government and academia relationships that often precede datacenter and research deployments. [5]

3) The build‑out keeps building: VAST Data–CoreWeave $1.17B pact

Reuters’ exclusive says AI storage/software vendor VAST Data and neocloud CoreWeave deepened their partnership via a $1.17B contract, aligning product roadmaps to move training data faster to GPU clusters. VAST previously disclosed $200M ARR and positive FCF; Reuters has reported Nvidia and CapitalG discussed participating in its next raise—context for why a large, long‑dated contract matters. Why this touches NVDA: CoreWeave’s growth is tightly coupled to Nvidia GPU capacity; deals that improve GPU utilization (I/O, storage, data management) help keep Nvidia systems “sweating” and can pull forward demand for more accelerators and networking. [6]


Market context

  • AI-levered equities wobble, but NVDA stays a bellwether. Reuters flagged renewed volatility in AI‑linked names this week; that macro backdrop, plus headline risk around export policy, is keeping day‑to‑day swings elevated. [7]
  • Policy watch — UAE export licenses (this week’s context). Earlier this week, the U.S. cleared Microsoft to ship tens of thousands of Nvidia GB300‑class chips to the UAE under strict safeguards, part of a multi‑year infrastructure investment. While not today’s news, it frames the policy reality behind Huang’s developer‑access argument. [8]

NVDA: levels and catalysts to watch

  • Price & range: As of ~13:36 UTC, NVDA was trading around $195. Recent 52‑week range has spanned roughly $86.6–$212.2, per Reuters. Short‑term flows remain sensitive to AI‑macro headlines and Blackwell shipment chatter. [9]
  • Earnings date set: Nvidia will report Q3 FY2026 results on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 2:00 p.m. PT (with CFO commentary posted before the call). Expect updates on Blackwell/GB300 ramps, supply, and demand visibility into 2026. [10]

Analyst takeaway (editorial)

  • Narrative today: Nvidia is simultaneously a technology standard, a geopolitical focal point, and a cultural symbol of the AI age. Today’s UK honors amplify the first; Huang’s clarification tries to calm the third; and the VAST–CoreWeave deal shows the second—AI infrastructure build‑out—continues, regardless of market jitters.
  • What would move the stock next: concrete data on Blackwell yields/shipments, networking availability, and gross‑margin cadence; evidence of new sovereign/DOE‑scale wins; and any change to U.S. export posture that affects non‑China markets (e.g., the UAE green‑light). [11]

    November 6, 2025, 2:34 PM EST. e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) posted Q2 2026 net sales of $344 million, up 14% YoY, with an Adjusted EBITDA of $66 million. The Rhode acquisition contributed $52 million to net sales and helped lift US growth to 18%, while international sales rose 2%. Gross margin was 69%, down about 165 basis points year over year, mainly due to incremental tariff costs. The company guided full-year net sales growth of 18%-20% and Adjusted EBITDA of $302-$306 million, with Adjusted EPS of $2.80-$2.85. Tariffs are modeled at a 45% rate for the remainder of fiscal year. Organic ex-Rhode sales declined about 3% in Q2 as shipments lagged price increases, with management expecting a partial recovery in Q3 and a second-half growth path of 2%-5% driven by demand and price actions.
  • US stocks retreat as tech valuations, tariffs weigh on sentiment
    November 6, 2025, 2:32 PM EST. U.S. equities opened lower on Thursday as investors weighed ongoing earnings results against worries over inflated tech valuations, lingering tariffs, and a patchy set of economic data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 55.9 points to 47,255.12 (-0.12%), the S&P 500 declined 8.7 points to 6,787.59, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 38.5 points to 23,461.289.

Silver rose to $48.24, while platinum and palladium slipped. Oil prices were broadly flat as sanctions on Russian producers started to bite and supply concerns persisted despite rising OPEC output: Brent at $63.55 and WTI at $59.62.
  • Wheat Falls Across Exchanges as China Buys US Wheat; Export Tender Activity Boosts Outlook
    November 6, 2025, 2:30 PM EST. Wheat was down across the CBOT, KCBT and MGEX futures on Thursday morning as traders weighed demand from abroad alongside export sales uncertainty from a government shutdown. Overnight news that China bought 120,000 metric tons of US wheat-split evenly between soft red and spring-helped support, but prices remain pressured by mixed weekly action and short covering in some contracts. South Korea issued tenders for 60,000 MT of optional-origin wheat while a US mill importer sought 50,000 MT with a Friday deadline, highlighting ongoing export demand for US supplies. The USDA export-sales report will not be published for the sixth week in a row. In yesterday's settlements, December and March CBOT wheat traded near the mid-$5s, with KCBT and MGEX quotes also in the $5s.
  • Soybeans Reverting Lower as Open Interest Rises and Tariffs Loom
    November 6, 2025, 2:28 PM EST. Soybeans are slipping 10-12 cents in front-month Thursday morning after Wednesday's double-digit rebound. Open interest surged by 21,553 contracts, signaling fresh buying interest, while 1,470 deliveries were issued for the month. Nearby cash price at 10.60 3/4 per bushel rose 13 1/4 cents. Soymeal rose about $4.40; Soy Oil was steady to up 16 points. Overnight news showed China suspending some retaliatory tariffs but keeping a 10% levy tied to a tariff response, leaving total duties on US soybeans at 13%; state-owned entities immune per reports. With a government shutdown and export sales data missing, traders weigh how much demand China has taken in the last week. Basis in the North and Pacific Northwest hints buyers are active.
