Nvidia Soars 4.33% on Resumed China Chip Sales

On July 15, 2025, Nvidia's stock rose by 4.33% in pre-market trading, reflecting positive market sentiment and investor confidence in the company's recent developments.

Nvidia has announced that it will resume the sale of its H20 AI chip to China, following assurances from the Trump administration. This decision comes after the company faced significant export restrictions earlier this year. The H20 chip, designed for AI inference workloads, is based on the Hopper architecture and has been tailored to comply with U.S. export controls. The resumption of sales is expected to significantly reduce the financial impact of the previous restrictions, which had led to a $45 billion loss in the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year.

Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has been actively engaging with both U.S. and Chinese governments to advocate for the resumption of chip sales. Huang has emphasized the importance of AI technology in driving global economic growth and has argued that allowing the export of advanced chips to China would benefit both countries. His efforts have included meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and high-level officials in China, where he has discussed the potential for AI to enhance productivity and create new opportunities.

In addition to the H20 chip, Nvidia is also planning to introduce a new RTX Pro display card tailored to meet the regulatory requirements of the Chinese market. This move is part of the company's broader strategy to maintain its market position in China, despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. Huang has stated that withdrawing from the Chinese market would weaken the U.S.'s competitive edge in the global AI sector, and that resuming H20 chip sales would have a positive impact on the entire AI semiconductor supply chain.
