Why Nvidia Stock Popped Today
Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) had jumped 2.4% at 11:15 a.m. ET on Wednesday. The most obvious catalyst was a hack of the company's data and, in response, Nvidia's own hack of the offending party.
As multiple news agencies have reported, Nvidia -- America's largest semiconductor stock by market capitalization -- was hacked last week by parties unknown. The immediate effect was to cause outages in the company's email systems and developer tools, Britain's The Telegraph reported.
