NVDA

Nvidia's RTX 4090 graphics cards are in high demand across Asia, especially in Taiwan, due to U.S. export controls aimed at curbing China's AI advancements. Nvidia is also taking pre-orders for its H20 AI chip, designed for the Chinese market, to compete with Huawei's offerings. The company's sales doubled last fiscal year, with significant investments from clients like Microsoft and Alphabet. Despite U.S. restrictions on chip exports to China, demand for Nvidia's products remains strong. Nvidia stock gained over 190% last year, outperforming broader indexes, with AMD also benefiting as a significant AI player.
