U.S. stocks ticked up Monday morning and looked poised to rebound from last week’s decline. Investors are now turning their attention to Nvidia’s upcoming earnings — the first time the AI chipmaker is reporting results since a breakthrough by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek sparked a selloff in Nvidia and other tech stocks last month.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock splits have become a clear sign of the stock's strength in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). Its transformational power over the chip industry allowed it to replace the former industry leader Intel as one of the 30 stocks making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) in November 2024.
