NVIDIA Stock Climbs as H200 AI Chip Shipments to China Set for Mid-February Under New U.S. Tariff Policy

NVIDIA shares advanced in pre-market trading on December 19, 2025 after the company told Chinese customers it aims to start shipping H200 AI chips before the mid-February Lunar New Year under a 25% U.S. tariff. The planned deliveries, totaling 5,000 to 10,000 modules, follow a Trump administration decision to permit such exports and come as NVIDIA stock trades near the upper end of its 52-week range with a multi-year gain above 1,000%.
