Goldman Sachs said Nvidia has another trick up its sleeve to drive its stock price higher going forward: a massive stock buyback program.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq closed lower on Wednesday, taking a break from the prior session's rally as investors worried about escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions and weak results from Target, while awaiting earnings from megacap Nvidia that landed after the bell.

Nvidia stock was paring some losses early on Thursday as a raft of positive reactions to its earnings came in from Wall Street analysts. The majority were looking ahead to Nvidia being able to ramp up the supply of Blackwell chips.
