Nvidia’s Stock Price Trend: A Reflection of the AI Market’s Volatility

Nvidia, a leading company in the global stock market, has been experiencing extreme ups and downs in its stock price. As the biggest beneficiary of the artificial intelligence (AI) craze, Nvidia’s stock price trend has been influencing the overall market atmosphere. The company’s market capitalization is third after Apple and Microsoft, but its influence on the market is significant.

The volatility in Nvidia’s stock price is attributed to concerns about the ‘AI bubble’ that have been surfacing in the market since the second half of this year. Nvidia has virtually monopolized the GPU market, which is essential for building AI systems. As a result, investment funds have flowed into Nvidia, which is almost the only company making profits in this market. The expectations and concerns of the entire AI market have been directly linked to Nvidia’s stock price.

A report by Sequoia Capital, a large venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, has ignited a vague sense of anxiety about AI in the market. The report pointed out that for AI companies to recover their investment, the market size must reach approximately 600 billion dollars. However, it is unclear whether consumers in the final demand market will open their wallets for that amount.

Large global financial institutions have been expressing concerns about AI. Goldman Sachs warned that if companies’ massive AI spending does not produce results, the bubble surrounding the stock market will start to burst. This warning has since become a reality as volatility in the U.S. stock market has rapidly increased.

Concerns about AI have continued to be raised in the third quarter. Michael Chembalist, head of markets and investment strategy at JP Morgan Asset Management, warned that spending on AI will not be justified until demand for AI services increases outside of the technology sector. Jean Boivin, head of BlackRock Investments, said that patience is needed for AI to take off, adding that this is a process that will take years, not a few quarters.

This is bound to be bad news that blocks the further growth of Nvidia, which has virtually monopolized the fruits of AI market growth. As a result, even though it recorded sales of $30 billion for the first time in its second quarter earnings announcement, exceeding market expectations, its stock price has continued to fall.

However, as the long-term outlook for the AI market is still bright, there are still many voices that say Nvidia will grow further. Bank of America pointed out that Nvidia’s stock price has recently fallen to its lowest level in the past five years due to various factors, providing investors with a good buying opportunity. The report especially positively predicted that Nvidia’s fundamental recovery point may come from the supply chain, particularly with the production of Blackwell products.
