Nvidia stock (ISIN US67066G1040) closed at USD 225.14 on the Nasdaq on September 21, 2026, up 1.30 percent from the previous session. The move leaves the shares USD 11.40 below the 52-week high of USD 236.54 and USD 60.87 above the low of USD 164.27.

Quarterly growth remains substantial

For the quarter reported on August 26, 2026, Nvidia delivered EPS of USD 2.22, beating the consensus estimate of USD 2.09 by USD 0.13. Revenue reached USD 96.22 billion against expectations of USD 92.27 billion, while quarterly revenue increased 105.9 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026.

The comparison is unusually clear: EPS rose from USD 1.05 in the same quarter of the prior year to USD 2.22 in the August 2026 report. Net margin was 63.66 percent for that quarter, giving the latest earnings beat a profitability component rather than relying only on sales growth.

Targets remain above the market

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, JPMorgan raised its price objective from USD 280 to USD 320 and maintained an Overweight rating in an August 27 research note. KGI Securities increased its target from USD 335 to USD 345 on August 27, while Oppenheimer set a USD 315 target with an Outperform rating.

The same MarketBeat report placed the consensus rating at Buy with an average price target of USD 324.34. Relative to the September 21 close of USD 225.14, that consensus target is USD 99.20 higher, although the target is an analyst estimate rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Valuation is the counterweight

According to Bloomberg on September 22, 2026, Nvidia traded at less than 17 times expected earnings over the next 12 months, near its lowest valuation level in more than a decade. That lower multiple can support the shares if earnings continue to expand, but it also shows that the market is measuring Nvidia against increasingly demanding growth expectations.

Nvidia's market capitalization was USD 5.48 trillion on September 22, 2026, while the reported trading volume on September 21 was 31.62 million shares. The scale of the valuation makes the next earnings update more important than the isolated daily move.

Stock stays below yearly high

Nvidia stock stood at USD 225.14 on the Nasdaq as of September 21, 2026. The same-session 52-week range was USD 164.27 to USD 236.54, defining a market level that remains below the annual high despite the latest gain.
