Nvidia stock closed at $227.98 on Aug. 27, 2026, up 8.74% for the session, after the company reported fiscal second-quarter results the previous day that beat Wall Street's expectations on nearly every metric. Quarterly revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 106% year over year, with the data center segment contributing about $89 billion of that total. The single-day gain added roughly $441.5 billion to Nvidia's market capitalization, the second-largest one-day dollar gain in U.S. stock market history, pushing its total value to about $5.49 trillion.
The rally was driven by both the outsized quarterly beat and forward guidance that implied close to 70% revenue growth for calendar 2027, nearly double what analysts had penciled in, easing investor concerns about slowing demand for Nvidia's AI chips following a volatile summer for the stock.
The close of $227.98 cleared the question's $225 threshold, resolving the market Yes. The community had leaned against this outcome, with only 39% forecasting a close above $225, underestimating the magnitude of the post-earnings surge that followed the blowout report and guidance.
