Price Action at a Glance
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) traded essentially flat midday Wednesday, changing hands around $192.95 (–0.1%) as of 18:39 UTC. The session opened at $195.69 and has ranged between $191.60–$196.39, on heavy volume north of 100 million shares.
Premarket, shares briefly ticked higher after a strong read-through on AI server demand from supplier Foxconn, with NVDA quoted near $196 before the bell. [1]
What’s Moving NVDA Today
1) Foxconn underscores an AI server upcycle
Hon Hai/Foxconn topped profit expectations and said AI server momentum is accelerating, with cloud & networking (including AI servers) again outpacing consumer electronics. Management guided to strong Q4 growth and framed industry-wide AI server shipments doubling next year—a constructive read-through for Nvidia’s data-center franchise. [2]
2) SoftBank’s Nvidia stake sale still reverberating
After disclosing a $5.8B sale of NVDA shares, SoftBank’s stock slid as much as 10% in Tokyo on Wednesday. While the sale is small relative to Nvidia’s market cap, it refocused investors on how AI investments are being funded and briefly pressured NVDA on Tuesday. [3]
3) Mexico data-center claim—and a denial
Nuevo León Governor Samuel García said Nvidia would invest $1B to build a “green AI data center” in the Mexican state, posting a video with Nvidia representatives. Hours later, Nvidia told Reuters it has no financial investment plans in Nuevo León, saying its support in Latin America is focused on cooperation, research, and talent development. Together, those reports left the market treating the item as unconfirmed corporate capex for now. [4]
4) Sector currents: AMD’s long-term AI targets
Peers also colored the tape: AMD rallied after laying out multi‑year AI‑driven growth targets, a reminder that the accelerator market remains broadening—and competitive—even as Nvidia leads. [5]
Earnings Watch: Nov. 19 After the Close
Nvidia will report Q3 FY26 results on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, with the conference call at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET. Street focus: data‑center growth, Blackwell ramp timing, gross margin mix, and supply visibility into 2026. [6]
Policy Backdrop to Keep in View
Washington’s stance on exports remains pivotal to Nvidia’s global TAM. Earlier this month, the White House signaled it is not permitting sales of Nvidia’s most advanced Blackwell‑class chips to China “right now,” and CEO Jensen Huang said there are no active discussions about selling Blackwell into China. That policy overhang continues to figure into how investors handicap medium‑term growth. [7]
Today’s Market Context
U.S. equities were mixed as investors rotated within megacap tech and looked ahead to next week’s NVDA print, one of the final marquee results of the season. Nvidia remains a touchstone for the broader AI‑infrastructure theme. [8]
NVDA: Intraday Stats (as of 18:39 UTC)
- Last: $192.95

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Fundamentals still tethered to AI server demand: Foxconn’s tone supports the view that hyperscaler and enterprise AI buildouts remain robust into 2026—constructive for Nvidia’s data‑center segment. [9]
- Headline noise vs. capex facts: The Mexico data‑center story illustrates how quickly regional announcements can shift; the company’s denial suggests waiting for official NVDA capex disclosures before baking them into models. [10]
- Earnings are the near‑term catalyst: With the report on Nov. 19, guidance on Blackwell availability, supply, and margins will likely dictate NVDA’s next leg. [11]
- Policy risk remains a swing factor: China restrictions on cutting‑edge GPUs continue to shape demand mix and geography. [12]
What to Watch Next
- Any official Nvidia statements clarifying Mexico footprints or other large‑scale capex. [13]
- Pre‑earnings analyst revisions to revenue/EPS and data‑center growth assumptions ahead of Nov. 19. [14]
- Additional supplier commentary (EMS/ODMs, memory, networking) on AI rack builds and lead times that can serve as real‑time demand checks for accelerators. [15]
