Episode Synopsis
Nvidia Slumps 4.1% on China AI Chip Export Block 11/07/25
Key Stories:
Nvidia, the leading designer of graphics chips vital for artificial intelligence, saw its shares fall 4.1% in afternoon trading. This decline comes amidst renewed concerns about stretched valuations across the entire AI sector and significant geopolitical developments. The U.S. government has reportedly moved to block Nvidia from selling even its less powerful, scaled-down artificial intelligence chips to China. This decision specifically targets reconfigured versions of the advanced Blackwell chip, designed to comply with previous export restrictions. Investors are clearly reacting to the potential impact on Nvidia’s crucial China market and the broader implications for global AI chip supply chains. This underscores that while AI is a massive growth driver, geopolitical risk remains a key watch here.
While AI leaders face their own challenges, other parts of the tech sector are also seeing pressure. RFID manufacturer Impinj saw its shares slide 8.3% during afternoon trading. This significant drop occurred after investment bank UBS initiated coverage on the stock with a “Neutral” rating and a price target of $200. UBS cited concerns about near-term growth challenges for Impinj, suggesting that while the company has long-term potential, its immediate future might be bumpy. Investors will be keeping an eye on how Impinj addresses these growth concerns and if other analysts follow UBS’s lead.
And speaking of growth, or perhaps the *quality* of growth, let’s pivot to Oracle, the enterprise software giant known for its database and cloud computing services. Its stock was down 4.5% to $232.74 early Friday, leaving shares down 3.6% since its recent earnings call. The reason for the pullback? A Wall Street Journal report highlighting that a substantial $300 billion of Oracle’s recent revenue increase was attributed to a single contract with artificial intelligence startup OpenAI. While OpenAI boasts rapidly rising revenue, it’s also known for significant losses, raising questions about the sustainability and profitability of such large, concentrated contracts for Oracle. Investors are now scrutinizing whether this AI-driven revenue is truly a long-term, high-quality growth driver or a temporary boost from a high-flying, yet unprofitable, startup.
