Nvidia ( NVDA) shares on Monday surged to a record, propelled by the semiconductor giant's strong earnings results reported last week.Shares of the Santa Clara, Calif., company climbed 5.4% to $219.52 at last check.

Last week, Nvidia reported fiscal- second-quarter earnings per share nearly quadrupled on 68% higher revenue.

The company earned 94 cents a share compared with 25 cents in the year-earlier quarter. The latest adjusted earnings were $1.04 a share, up 89% from a year earlier.

Revenue was $6.51 billion compared with $3.87 billion a year earlier.

A survey of analysts by FactSet was looking for GAAP earnings of 83 cents a share, or an adjusted $1.02 a share, on revenue of $6.33 billion.

Gaming revenue in the quarter was $3.06 billion, up 85% from a year earlier and accounting for 47% of total revenue.

TheStreet's Jim Cramer said that the gaming cycle and developments in the metaverse present major tailwinds to the company going forward .

"The more and more games that are created, the more you want to own this [stock]," Cramer said. "It was a remarkable quarter in a series of remarkable quarters. ... If people listen they will recognize why you pay such a high multiple for such a great company."

Meanwhile, the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority said last week that Nvidia's planned takeover of chipmaker Arm Ltd. raised "serious competition concerns" and called for an in-depth investigation into the $40 billion deal.

The authority said that even though Nvidia has offered remedies that would alleviate some of its concerns, it nonetheless called for a Phase 2 investigation that could delay the proposed transaction for several more months.

Nvidia is a holding in Jim Cramer's Action Alerts PLUS member club.
