NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) heads into the Christmas Eve session with fresh momentum after a strong Tuesday rally in U.S. growth stocks—and with investors still digesting fast-moving headlines around U.S.-China chip policy and the company’s ability to sell advanced AI hardware into China.
After the closing bell on Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2025, Nvidia shares finished the regular session at $189.18 and were little changed in after-hours trading (around $189.12–$189.20 shortly after 4:00 p.m. ET), signaling that traders largely held positions rather than chasing or fading the move into the evening.
