Nvidia Shares Fall 30% From Record High as AI Spending Concerns Mount Ahead of Earnings
Nvidia shares have declined sharply, with the stock falling more than 4% on Thursday and losing approximately 11% this week following Jensen Huang's reported resignation.
The stock is now down more than 30% from its all-time high recorded on October 6.
Nvidia's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has reportedly dropped to around 12, its lowest level since 2012.
Beyond the leadership transition, investors are increasingly concerned about a potential slowdown in AI data centre construction and future infrastructure spending.
CFO Colette Kress is serving as interim CEO while Nvidia's board searches for a permanent successor.
Analysts continue to expect strong earnings growth, with demand for Nvidia's AI chips expected to exceed available supply.
Market estimates point to October-quarter revenue growth of 92% year-on-year, while net profit is expected to exceed $60 billion, representing an increase of approximately 89%.
Nvidia is scheduled to announce its quarterly results next Tuesday. Investors will closely monitor Kress's commentary on future demand, AI infrastructure spending and the company's growth outlook.
Key takeaway: Nvidia faces mounting pressure from leadership uncertainty and concerns over AI infrastructure spending, while earnings expectations remain strong. Management's forward guidance could prove more important to investors than the quarterly numbers themselves.
