👀Yesterday (February 26, 2026) NVIDIA quotes $NVDAon fell by about 5.5% and closed around $184.89, although the company posted strong results and gave a confident forecast.
The key driver of the decline was the market 'selling on the fact': high expectations had already been priced in, and against the backdrop of overall nervousness around AI themes, investors took profits.
What exactly pressured the stock?
- Profit-taking/'sell the news': after a strong report, some participants exited their positions because the 'ideal' scenario was already reflected in the quotes.
- Concerns about the 'AI bubble' and demand sustainability: even with strong earnings, doubts remain about how long the current pace of investment in AI infrastructure will last.
- Valuation and rotation: comments on the movement noted concerns regarding valuation, growth sustainability, and sector rotation from overheated AI/tech names.
- Nuances regarding China/supplies: limited supplies/licenses to China were mentioned, and the fact that this factor is not yet bringing noticeable revenue, which reduces 'additional' positivity for the market.
