Nvidia sheds $1 trillion from record high market cap as market sell-off intensifies
Nvidia (
NVDA
) stock briefly extended its decline on Friday as the AI chip giant's market cap losses from its record high in January reached $1 trillion.
A broader market sell-off coupled with fears of an overvaluation in the AI trade has sent the stock tumbling more than 23% over the past two months.
On Friday shares temporarily fell to hover near $107 each, down from their record close of $149.43 on Jan. 6, when the company's valuation sat just north of $3.66 trillion.
Nvidia's market cap stood at $2.6 trillion during Friday's session as selling on Wall Street intensified.
On Thursday renewed fears of an overextended AI trade surfaced after chipmaker Marvell Technology's (
MRVL
) revenue outlook failed to impress investors and semiconductor stocks fell.
"It’s been a rough year for NVDA so far. ... The stock (along with many of its AI-semi peers) has suffered, battered by a storm of growth fears, supply chain noise, and
tariff and regulatory risks
," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon wrote in a note to investors earlier this week. "Sentiment has clearly pivoted for now on the AI group."
