Nvidia CEO Pay Rises 46 Percent Amid AI-Driven Stock Rally

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's total compensation surged 46% to nearly $50 million in fiscal 2025, driven primarily by stock awards amid the company's dominant position in the AI chip market. Under Huang's leadership, Nvidia's market capitalization surpassed $3 trillion, making it one of the most valuable companies globally, with revenue more than doubling to $130.5 billion due to soaring demand for AI infrastructure chips powering technologies like ChatGPT. Despite a recent 3% dip this year, Nvidia's stock has rebounded strongly from earlier losses, climbing 50% since April amid optimism over a major multi-year deal to supply advanced GPUs to a Saudi Arabian state-backed AI company. Technical analysis indicates bullish momentum with the stock breaking key resistance levels, though caution remains over potential short-term profit-taking as the stock nears overbought conditions. This partnership and Nvidia’s expanding influence in AI hardware underscore its critical role in the global AI boom and long-term growth prospects.
