Nvidia Experiences Record Single-Day Gain with a 7.8% Surge
Nvidia Corporation shares experienced a significant surge of approximately 7.8% on Friday, February 6, 2026. This marked the chipmaker’s most substantial single-day gain in nine months, adding roughly $325 billion to its market value. The rally brought an end to a five-day losing streak that had previously wiped approximately $500 billion from the company’s valuation.
The rebound is a reflection of renewed investor confidence in AI infrastructure spending. This follows announcements from major tech companies regarding their capital expenditure plans. Amazon, for instance, revealed plans to spend about $200 billion on data centers, chips, and related infrastructure in 2026. This contributes to an estimated $650-700 billion in combined AI spending from Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft this year—a 60% increase over 2025.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the ongoing investment wave as a “once-in-a-generation infrastructure buildout.” The stock surge was not an isolated event, but part of a broader tech sector recovery. Other hardware-focused companies also posted strong gains. For example, Advanced Micro Devices rose 8%, while Super Micro Computer and Astera Labs experienced significant increases as well.
Looking ahead, the company is scheduled to report its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter results on February 25. Wall Street is expecting approximately $65.5 billion in quarterly revenue. Analysts forecast total fiscal 2026 earnings of $4.69 per share, with projections for fiscal 2027 reaching $7.66 per share. Nvidia’s data center segment, which accounts for 89% of revenue, continues to be the primary driver of the company’s growth as demand for AI chips remains robust.
