Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is surging in pre-market trading after securing key U.S. approval to resume sales of its advanced H20 AI chip in China.
Nvidia is set to resume H20 chip sales to China, alleviating export restriction pressures and reigniting revenue growth momentum.

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang says the technology giant has won approval from the Trump administration to sell its advanced H20 computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence to China.
Nvidia plans to resume sales of its H20 AI chip to China after securing Washington's assurances that such shipments would get approved. US government officials said they would green-light export licenses for the H20 artificial intelligence accelerator, according to a blog post by Nvidia.
Nvidia announced Monday that it's filing applications to restart sales of its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, capping a spasmodic few months that saw the Trump administration impose restrictions, then quickly reverse course after a high-profile dinner meeting.
The Silicon Valley chip giant said the Trump administration, which had shut down its sales to China three months ago, had assured it that licenses for the sales would now be granted.
Nvidia expects to be able to sell H20 chips in China once again after previously forecasting it would lose out on $8 billion in revenue this quarter related to sales restrictions.

"The U.S. government has assured NVIDIA that licenses will be granted, and NVIDIA hopes to start deliveries soon," the company said in a press release.
