NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA): one to watch?

Watch, not buy yet — the business is still booming but China chip policy chaos and stalling China revenue add real uncertainty near highs.

Why NVDA dropped

Nvidia's stock has actually lagged the rest of the chip sector in 2026 and pulled back from its all-time high, with reports noting it fell about 18% from its June peak amid a broader cooling of AI-stock enthusiasm and a delayed OpenAI IPO seen as a warning sign on stretched AI valuations; separately, U.S.-China chip export policy has been extremely volatile (H200 approved, then hit with a 25% tariff, then effectively boycotted by Beijing), muddying a market some hoped would add meaningful revenue.
