Nvidia Stock Sinks On Fears Of AI Bubble, AI Winter

Blockhead
08/20

Nvidia (NVDA) stock has pulled back from recent highs amid concerns of a bubble in artificial intelligence stocks.

Last week, OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman told reporters that he thinks the AI market is in a bubble, the Verge reported.

"Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes," Altman said. He warned that some investors are likely to get "very burnt" as some of the AI hype unwinds.

On Monday, Bloomberg tech columnist Dave Lee said that investors should brace for an "AI winter." He cited the poor reception to OpenAI's new model GPT-5, the CoreWeave (CRWV) stock tumble, and a McKinsey survey that showed most companies haven't seen a profit benefit from generative AI technology.

In morning trades on the stock market today, Nvidia stock fell roughly 2% to 172.33. On Tuesday, Nvidia dropped 3.5% to close at 175.64.

Other AI stocks falling on bubble fears include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), Dell Technologies (DELL), Palantir Technologies (PLTR) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI).

In a client note Wednesday, Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives said the bears are coming out of hibernation mode, sparking some "white-knuckle moments" for investors in AI stocks.
