Nvidia, the leading AI chipmaker, is experiencing a sharp decline in its stock price after a period of meteoric rise. All it seems there is significant market correction that erased $400 billion in market capitalization.
This comes after a period of rapid growth fueled by the booming AI market and the high demand for Nvidia's AI-enabling GPU chips.
Earlier this year, Nvidia's market valuation surged, at one point surpassing Apple to become the second-most-valuable company in the world, now it is bringing it below the $3 trillion mark and below Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. in size.
Broader Market Impact:
- The decline in Nvidia's stock is impacting other chipmakers as well.
- The Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index fell by 2.2% on Monday.
- Companies like Broadcom, TSMC, and Qualcomm also saw their stocks decrease.
However, the recent correction highlights the volatility and speculative nature of the tech and AI sectors. Despite this setback, analysts remain optimistic about Nvidia's long-term prospects. Some predict that Nvidia could eventually achieve a market cap as high as $5 trillion, driven by continued advancements in AI, acquisitions, and strong demand for its technology across various industries.
Investor Concerns:
- Some investors might be experiencing "AI fatigue" and becoming wary of the high concentration of AI-related stocks in major indexes.
- Nvidia's high valuation (nearly 23 times estimated sales) might be raising concerns about a potential bubble.
Despite the correction, Nvidia remains well-regarded on Wall Street, with nearly 90% of analysts tracked by Bloomberg recommending buying the stock, and the average analyst price target indicating about a 10% upside from current levels.
