Nvidia, a leading chipmaker, has reportedly introduced a significant incentive for its employees, known as the "special Jensen grant," which provides an additional 25% of stock units on top of what employees initially received. This move aims to reward the staff amidst Nvidia's remarkable success, highlighted by its recent achievement of a $2 trillion market cap, a first for any chipmaker. Named after co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang, this grant will vest over four years, with the first portion vesting in September. This generosity reflects Nvidia's strong financial performance, including a record $22 billion in fourth-quarter revenues, a 270% increase from the previous year. Additionally, it discusses the broader tech and stock market implications, mentioning mixed performances in Asian markets and highlighting TSMC's sales growth due to the AI boom, where Nvidia has played a pivotal role.
