Jensen Huang’s Fortune Breaks $200 Billion As Nvidia Stock Reaches Record High
Options traders are pricing in a 50% chance Nvidia reaches $6 trillion by month-end as strong AI demand and a record buyback lift the stock.
- Nvidia shares are climbing, with options markets assigning a 50% probability the company will reach a $6 trillion valuation by the end of this month.
- The rally follows Nvidia's expanded stock repurchase program, where the board authorized an additional $150 billion in repurchases on Sept. 28, bringing the total remaining to $235 billion.

- To hit the $6 trillion threshold, Nvidia would need to reach a stock price of $248, based on roughly 24.1 billion shares outstanding as of Aug. 21.
