Nvidia's stock is at a record intraday high of $183.30 per share on a split-adjusted basis as shares of META and MSFT each rise more than 5% following strong earnings from each company. Analysts say the strong prints reinforce expectations of continued investment in Nvidia's microchips and processors, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in general.
In their earnings statements, Microsoft and Meta both underlined their commitment to spending on AI hardware, with much of that money expected to go towards the purchase of Nvidia processors. Microsoft reported fourth-quarter capital expenditures of $24 billion, above estimates of $21.4 billion.

At the same time, Meta raised the lower end of its range of forecasts for its 2025 capital expenditures to $66 billion to $72 billion, up from $64 billion to $72 billion previously. Wall Street now expects that Meta will spend $100 billion in capital expenditures in 2026, significantly ahead of previous forecasts.
Nvidia's microchip sales might also receive a boost from 'Stargate Norway,' a project that involves a partnership between OpenAI and AI infrastructure company Nscale and Norwegian industrial company Aker (DE:FKM). The project reportedly plans to use 100,000 of Nvidia's graphics-processing units (GPUs) by the end of 2026. NVDA stock is now up 35% this year.
Is NVDA Stock a Buy?
The stock of Nvidia has a consensus Strong Buy rating among 38 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 34 Buy, three Hold, and one Sell recommendations issued in the past three months. The average NVDA price target of $185.79 implies 2.60% upside from current levels.

Norton Adds Audio and Visual Deepfake Protection on Mobile
Analysis of AI-generated audio and facial manipulation techniques now available in early access phase through Norton Genie Scam Protection TEMPE, Ariz. and PRAGUE, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Norton, a leader in Cyber Safety and part of Gen (NASDAQ: GEN), has launched AI-powered deepfake protection in the Norton Genie AI Assistant on Norton 360 mobile apps. Currently in early access phase, Norton Deepfake Protection enables people to defend themselves from malicious AI-generated audio and video content. Initially available on select Microsoft Copilot+ PCs, people can now protect themselves not only from everyday scams, but also AI scams even if they don't have an AI PC. Norton Deepfake Protection in the Genie AI Assistant includes the ability to analyze audio and visual content for signs of manipulation. Beyond detecting AI-generated voices used in fraudulent schemes, the feature provides an added layer of contextual protection by spotting inconsistencies or faint deformations in the physical features of people appearing in videos. If a harmful deepfake is detected, the Genie AI Assistant will provide conversational Cyber Safety guidance and suggestions on what to do next. "As AI-generated voices and faces become harder to distinguish from the real thing, trust is rapidly becoming one of the most fragile elements of our digital lives," said Leena Elias, Chief Product Officer at Gen. "The line between truth and deception is blurring, especially when malicious actors can abuse AI to create scams that replicate voices and imagery with startling realism. This is why we've made our deepfake protection accessible to people who don't have AI hardware, so they can confidently navigate and consume digital content without second-guessing what they see or hear." Currently, Norton Deepfake Protection in Genie Scam Protection supports English-language YouTube videos with plans to expand platform and language support in future updates. To check for signs of scams in video content, people can upload YouTube links to Norton Genie AI Assistant and receive real-time guidance on the authenticity of a video. If malicious AI-generated content is found, the Genie AI Assistant will flag it and provide advice on what to do next. The early access version of Norton Deepfake Protection is currently available in Norton 360 mobile products in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, across Android and iOS devices with desktop support coming soon. The focus at Norton on AI-powered scam protection won't stop here. Later in the year, deepfake protection for AI PCs will extend to devices powered by Intel chipsets, and more advanced detection capabilities will be available on both desktop and mobile platforms.
