Nvidia shares climbed to a new record high after two months of selling pressure, with the stock rising as much as 2.9% intraday, according to ChainCatcher. Market optimism around AI agents and their potential to drive additional semiconductor demand was cited as a key factor supporting the move. The stock extended gains after Nvidia announced a $150 billion increase to its share repurchase plan. Year to date, Nvidia shares are up about 27%, while the company’s market capitalization stands at roughly $5.7 trillion. That leaves it less than $300 billion away from the $6 trillion mark. The report ties the latest rally to expectations that AI-related demand will continue to support chipmakers, with Nvidia remaining at the center of that trade.
