Nvidia predicted the figures of its quarterly revenue more than estimated on Wednesday and announced a stock split while raising its shares to all-time high and beckoning its biggest backers that played a critical role in tripling the chipmaker's market value during the past few months due to optimism around AI.

Gaining 5.9% to $1,005, Nvidia shares marched beyond the $1,000 mark and added almost $140 billion in stock market value.

Having registered an uptick of 90% so far during the ongoing year, it appears that the Nvidia stock's close at Wednesday's after-hours value in the next day's Wall Street trading session would have all the past records broken.
