Here’s a portion of what Huang said at the conference, as collected by Yahoo Finance!

“The U.K. has every reason to be proud of Arm and its achievements and contributions to the world. We have every intention to not only continue that work but invest in doing more of it there…We want to help the U.K. become a center of world-class AI development.”

In addition to this, NVDA stock was the subject of a couple of increased price targets from analysts recently. The first of those happened yesterday when Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis bumped the price of the firm’s price target for NVDA stock from $740 per share to $854 per share.
