Nvidia’s shares fell 17% on Monday, the largest decrease since March 2020, erasing $ 589 billion from the company’s market capitalization. This overshadowed the previous record – a drop of 9% in September which wiped around 279 billion dollars of value – and was the largest in the history of the US stock market.
The decline struck the rest of the market due to Nvidia’s amount of weight in the main clues. Including Monday’s crisis, NVIDIA sales caused eight of the ten largest day drops in the S&P 500 index, based on market value, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The S&P 500 fell 1.5% on Monday and the NASDAQ 100 dropped by almost 3%.
The semiconductor manufacturer has led a broader sale in technological actions after the low cost approach to Deepseek has rekindled concerns that large American companies have paid too much money in the development of artificial intelligence . The Chinese company seems to provide a performance comparable to a price fraction.

NVIDIA was the largest beneficiary of the AI expenditure influx because they design semiconductors used in technology. Although these heavy expenses seem to continue, investors can be wary of enriching companies that do not show sufficient return on investment.
Meta announced on Friday plans to increase capital expenses of AI projects this year to about half up to $ 65 billion, sending its shares to a record level. It came to the heels of Openai, SoftBank Group Corp. and Oracle Corp. announcing a joint venture of $ 100 billion called Stargate to build data centers and AI infrastructure projects in the United States.
