This year alone, the company’s shares have skyrocketed 150%, with a 3,000% increase over the past five years.

Nevertheless, according to Reuters, a decline of up to 6.8 percent was recorded following the results.

Nvidia announced yesterday that it had shipped Blackwell pilot chips to customers and partners and expected to increase chip sales by the end of the year.
