Nvidia shares surged to new highs around $235 after the U.S. unexpectedly approved sales of its older H200 chips to China, sparking momentum in the semiconductor sector. This move contrasts with Palantir, which remains in a bear market despite strong quarterly results, facing investor skepticism and bearish bets by Michael Burry. Nvidia's valuation appears attractive given its dominance and innovation, while Palantir's high valuation and uncertain AI software market position make its outlook less certain. Investors are watching whether Palantir can overcome these challenges or if Nvidia's rally will continue to outpace it.
