Nvidia stock rose modestly early Friday as investors digested a raft of mixed news over the past few days. Shares were up 0.1% to $147.34 in premarket trading. It closed almost flat Thursday after starting the day in the red as a fresh outlook from supplier SK Hynix cast doubt over future demand for its products.

On Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump held a press conference to announce Stargate, a $500 billion artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project in the United States. He called it the "largest AI infrastructure project, by far, in history."

Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Vistra (NYSE: VST) have surged 860% and 700%, respectively, since the beginning of 2023. Both companies have benefited from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom despite operating in very different parts of the economy. Tepper sold 65,000 shares of Nvidia, reducing his position by 9%.

President Donald Trump unveiled a big-ticket private-sector collaboration called Stargate. The project will bring together OpenAI, SoftBank (SFTBY), and Oracle (ORCL) to invest in American artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

President Trump announced a major AI infrastructure investment of “at least $500 billion,” signaling a willingness to work alongside large tech companies.

Nvidia stock rose early Wednesday after President Donald Trump sent another signal to markets that artificial intelligence would be a priority under his new administration. The absence of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at the inauguration Monday stuck out as Big Tech CEOs thronged to the event.
