Nvidia Skyrockets 7.8% in Most Impressive Trading Day Since April
Nvidia shares surged by a remarkable 7.8% on Friday, February 7, 2026. This marked the chipmaker’s most impressive single-day performance since April, adding approximately $325 billion to its market value. This gain is the fourth-largest one-day market cap gain for any stock in history. The rally ended a five-day losing streak that had wiped out roughly $500 billion in value amid a broader technology sector selloff.
The dramatic rebound was a direct response to major technology companies announcing massive AI infrastructure spending plans. Amazon’s $200 billion capital expenditure announcement, combined with Google’s $175-185 billion projection, reinforced the strong demand for Nvidia’s industry-leading graphics processing units (GPUs) used in AI development. Other chip stocks joined the rally, with AMD rising 6% and Broadcom gaining nearly 5%.
Investors are now eagerly anticipating Nvidia’s fiscal Q4 2026 earnings report scheduled for February 25. Wall Street expects revenue of approximately $65.5 billion and full-year earnings of $4.69 per share. The company continues to dominate the AI chip market with its Blackwell architecture, which offers up to 50 times more performance than earlier generations. Despite mounting competition, Nvidia maintains its position as the primary beneficiary of the global AI infrastructure boom.
