During the pre-market trading session on Wednesday, shares of Nvidia Corporation increased by 2.5% as a result of a favorable industry update provided by Trendforce, Investing.com reports.

The fact that investors appear to have responded favorably to the announcement may help to assuage fears of production difficulties.
In light of the possible production delays, Klein further speculated that Nvidia had strategically issued conservative revenue forecast for the January quarter, setting it below projections of $39-40 billion.
GPU Momentum Expected to Grow in 2025

The shares of Nvidia have increased by 163% so far this year.
