Nvidia stock hits record high, semiconductor sector sees 19th session of gains

NVDA stock climbed over 3% today, reaching new all-time highs above $211 as the semiconductor sector posted its 19th consecutive session of gains. The Polymarket contract asking whether NVIDIA will be the largest company by market cap by June 30 is at 91.5% YES.

Market reaction

The semiconductor rally has been driven by AI chip demand, with TSMC reporting Q1 revenue up 35% year-over-year. NVIDIA trades at a 50% discount to its peers according to BofA. The market ticked up from 90% a day ago, with the largest price move in the last 24 hours a modest 1-point spike.

Why it matters

JPMorgan warns against expecting a repeat of last year’s 120% rally post-Q1 and predicts market leadership will diversify, suggesting the current spike might cool off. The odds remain firmly above 90% regardless.

Trading volume for this market is $4,178 in actual USDC daily. It would take $42,558 to move the odds five points, meaning the market is reasonably thick and resistant to large swings from single trades.

What to watch

A YES share at 92¢ pays $1 if NVIDIA is the largest company by June 30, a 1.09x return. To justify this bet, you’d need to believe AI chip demand sustains current momentum with no major setbacks like export curbs or supply chain disruptions.

NVIDIA’s Q1 earnings report is the next major catalyst. Jensen Huang’s announcements and any new US-China trade policy developments could move this contract in either direction.
