  • Nvidia Share Price Rises on Major GTC Conference Announcements
    March 18, 2026, 5:58 AM EDT. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) unveiled significant updates at its GTC conference, dubbed the Woodstock of AI, that could sway its share price long-term. The company announced progress in autonomous vehicle partnerships with Uber, targeting testing in Los Angeles and San Francisco next year. CEO Jensen Huang described this as a "ChatGPT moment for autonomous driving," highlighting Nvidia's expanding role beyond hardware into software and AI infrastructure. Huang projected orders from the Blackwell and Vera platforms could surpass $1 trillion by 2027, indicating potential for dramatically increased revenue. Nvidia's share price has climbed 53% over the last year, outperforming the S&P 500, fueled by expectations of higher profit margins and market share gains. However, intense competition in AI remains a key risk. These developments suggest Nvidia could maintain its momentum in the coming years.
