The company plans to resume exporting H20 AI chips to China, with shipments expected to begin soon.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sold 300,000 shares worth approximately $50 million on Friday, as the company's stock price continues to surge due to increased demand for GPU chips, driven by advancements in generative AI and large language models (LLMs). This sale is part of a pre-arranged trading plan adopted in March, which allows Huang to sell up to 6 million shares over time [1].

This week alone, Huang has sold shares valued at over $100 million. The recent sales come as Nvidia's market capitalization has surpassed $4 trillion, making it one of the world's most valuable companies [2]. The company's stock has been on a significant upward trajectory, with shares hitting new highs and the stock price rising by over 100% in the past year [3].

Nvidia announced this week that it expects to resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China soon, following signals from the Trump administration that it would approve export licenses. These chips are specifically designed to comply with U.S. export rules while still serving Chinese AI developers. The company stated that it hopes to start deliveries soon, with Jensen Huang confirming the news during a press event in Beijing [1].

The surge in demand for Nvidia's GPU chips, which power large language models and other advanced AI applications, has significantly boosted the company's financial performance. Nvidia's annual revenue has surged to over $130 billion from about $27 billion in 2022, and its profit has similarly skyrocketed thanks to juicy margins. The company's net income was $73 billion last fiscal year, up from $9.8 billion in 2022 [3].
