What's Going On With Nvidia, Intel, Micron Stock Friday?
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
U.S. chipmakers Nvidia (NVDA), Intel (INTC), and Micron Technology (MU) have been summoned to testify before Congress by the House of Representatives' China committee, causing their stock prices to fall. The committee is intensifying its examination of companies with substantial ties to China. This scrutiny follows the CEOs' lobbying against stricter semiconductor-related export controls. Nvidia dominates China's AI chip market, while Micron has reduced its revenue from China from 50% to 16%. The U.S. Commerce Department has tightened AI chip export restrictions to China, affecting Nvidia. The House committee's actions are part of broader efforts to scrutinize U.S. companies with operations in China and may signal a push towards decoupling tech supply chains.
