Nvidia shares tank as 'Magnificent 7' stocks lose more than $650 billion in market cap
Nvidia ( NVDA ) shares fell more than 6% on Monday as the "Magnificent Seven" stocks suffered a valuation wipeout of more than $650 billion during Monday's market plunge .
The iconic group of seven stocks have lost roughly $1.3 trillion in market cap over the past three trading sessions.
"Mag Seven" component Alphabet ( GOOGL , GOOG ) slid 4% while Meta ( META ) fell more than 2%. EV giant Tesla ( TSLA ) dropped over 4%.
Ecommerce giant Amazon ( AMZN ) and software maker Microsoft ( MSFT ) also slid.
Apart from the broad market sell-off, individual company news also put pressure on the Mag Seven stocks.
On Monday a judge found Alphabet's Google search and ad businesses violated antitrust laws, sending shares of the tech giant lower during the session.
Apple ( AAPL ) dropped more than 4% after Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK-B ) revealed over the weekend it had cut half of its stake in the iPhone maker.
Nvidia fell as much as 13% at the market open to pare some of its losses. Analysts noted recent negative catalysts weighing on the AI chip heavyweight.
The Information reported the company's upcoming next-generation AI chips would be delayed by three months, potentially impacting its biggest customers like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta.
"Nvidia has a window to sell to Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Meta while those companies are hot and bothered about building out data centers as quickly as they can. That window will shut at some point," Gil Luria, D.A. Davidson senior software analyst, told Yahoo Finance on Monday.
"If Nvidia is missing out on some of those sales during that window, that does have an impact on Nvidia's value," said the analyst.
Monday's action follows a recent heavy sell-off on Wall Street as chip stocks have gotten hammered over the past week.
On Friday Nvidia closed off the lows of the session , down only 1.8%, while Intel ( INTC ) shares cratered over 26% following a disastrous second quarter earnings report and a broad decline in chip stocks led the tech sector lower.
After the July jobs report, which showed job growth slowed last month and the unemployment rate reached a nearly three-year high , the Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC ) slipped into correction territory , defined as a 10% drop from its most recent high.
