What's Going On With Nvidia Stock Monday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Nvidia Corp (NVDA) faces challenges in the Chinese market due to U.S. regulations barring high-performance AI chip sales. Major Chinese cloud companies like Alibaba (BABA) and Tencent (TCEHY) plan to reduce Nvidia chip orders, turning to local alternatives and in-house developments. Baidu (BIDU) and ByteDance are also shifting towards domestic producers like Huawei. Despite this, Nvidia sold over $1 billion of modified chips in China in 2023 and is developing new AI chips like the H20 for the Chinese market, set for production in Q2 2024. Nvidia's stock saw a slight increase on Monday.
