What's Going On With Nvidia Stock Wednesday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) is trading higher after reports of making significant advance payments to SK Hynix and Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:MU) for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The payments, totaling billions, aim to secure a stable supply of HBM3e for Nvidia's 2024 GPU products. This move is seen as a proactive strategy in a competitive market. Nvidia's investment is also beneficial to memory suppliers like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:SSNLF), especially after a challenging year. Samsung has completed product testing for HBM3 and HBM3e and signed a supply contract with Nvidia, although its technology might require additional processes. Nvidia's stock has outperformed SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) with a year-to-date gain of over 244%.
