NVIDIA Stock Surges on China Sales Approval, Hits New Premarket High

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) saw its stock price soar over 5% in premarket trading on July 15, 2025, reaching an all-time high of $172.38. This surge followed the U.S. government’s decision to resume export licenses for NVIDIA’s H20 AI chips to China, lifting restrictions that had significantly impacted the company’s sales in the region earlier this year.

CEO Jensen Huang played a key role in securing this reversal after strategic discussions with U.S. officials, marking a major win amid ongoing geopolitical trade tensions. The resumption of China sales is expected to restore billions in revenue and drive strong growth for NVIDIA’s AI and data center businesses.

NVIDIA’s stock closed the previous day at $164.07, with the premarket jump reflecting renewed investor optimism about the company’s growth prospects. The firm’s market capitalization stands at approximately $4 trillion, underlining its dominant position in semiconductor technology, gaming GPUs, and AI platforms.

Alongside the China approval, NVIDIA recently launched its new RTX Pro GPU based on the Blackwell architecture, aimed at industrial and AI applications. Industry analysts now eye a possible stock target near $200, propelled by accelerating AI demand and easing export controls.
