About Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia Corp. designs graphics cards (GPUs) for gaming and, increasingly, the data-centre chips that train artificial-intelligence models. Demand for AI accelerators has made the data-centre segment its largest source of revenue.
Beyond hardware, Nvidia's strength is software: its CUDA platform has become the standard for programming GPUs, which makes switching to rival chips hard. The company does not manufacture its own chips (it is "fabless"): production is concentrated at Taiwan's TSMC, and a large share of sales comes from a small group of cloud-computing giants.
It trades on the Nasdaq under NVDA. The stock is highly sensitive to AI-spending expectations, which makes it especially volatile.
