NVIDIA jumped nearly 8.74% after hours to $227.98, an unusually large move for a company already worth $5.5 trillion.
NVIDIA reported a Q2 FY2027 earnings beat and announced an agreement with AWS covering 2 million additional GPUs. Together they answer the questions investors carried into the report: whether demand justifies the valuation and whether hyperscaler commitment is still deepening.
