Tech stocks: Nvidia rises off strong earnings

As Mother's Day nears, let's take a look at the tech stocks to watch this Friday.

Nvidia up early. Strong first-quarter earnings that topped analyst forecasts fueled the chipmaker's 3.5% surge in its stock price in pre-market trading.

As Reuters reports, Nvidia first-quarter revenue reached $954.7 million, better than the $941 million analysts were expecting. However, the company's outlook for the second quarter fell short of forecasts.

Nvidia shares have steadily climbed since hitting a 52-week low last November, topping $14.
