The stock fell 1.5% to $174.95.<\/p>\n<p>The broader market also weakened. The S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.9%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped 0.8%.

I don\u2019t want that to happen, but it probably will.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Valuation pressure and market uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>Despite strong earnings, Nvidia\u2019s stock has been volatile. <\/p>\n<p>Its price-to-earnings ratio recently dropped to a multiyear low, reflecting investor caution.<\/p>\n<p>The decline highlights broader uncertainty. Investors are reassessing how geopolitical risks could affect corporate spending and project timelines. <\/p>\n<p>Analysts have raised concerns that an expanding conflict could delay large-scale data centre projects and increase security-related costs, potentially weighing on margins.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supply chain risks in focus<\/h2>\n<p>Attention is also turning to supply chains. While semiconductor companies have not yet reported direct disruptions, risks linked to energy supply are becoming more prominent.<\/p>\n<p>A significant share of Asia\u2019s energy imports passes through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains effectively blocked.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, a key supplier to Nvidia, is seen as particularly exposed. <\/p>\n<p>The company accounts for about 9% of Taiwan\u2019s electricity usage, with natural gas as the primary energy source.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwanese authorities have said liquefied natural gas reserves should last through May, but the situation remains a concern for investors tracking the semiconductor supply chain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nvidia stock remains under pressure <\/h2>\n<p>Nvidia shares <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/04\/02\/nvidia-stock-remains-under-pressure-but-analysts-see-upside-ahead\/\">have fallen nearly 20%<\/a> from their record high in October, reflecting a broader global selloff.<\/p>\n<p>The decline has been driven in part by geopolitical tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran. <\/p>\n<p>Elevated oil prices have raised concerns about inflation and the possibility of tighter monetary policy, which tends to weigh on high-growth technology stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The stock now trades at around 20 times forward earnings, one of its lowest valuation levels in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Investors use P\/E multiples to gauge a stock\u2019s valuation relative to its anticipated future earnings.<\/p>\n<p>With the growth of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/trading\/best-trading-apps\/\">online investment apps<\/a>, tracking such metrics has become much easier and more accessible to market participants.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are also reassessing returns on heavy AI-related capital spending. <\/p>\n<p>Major customers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon continue to invest aggressively, but there are concerns that monetisation could take longer than expected.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wall Street turns constructive on tech<\/h2>\n<p>Despite near-term pressures, Wall Street is becoming more positive on the technology sector.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo said the recent pullback has created a potential entry point for investors.<\/p>\n<p>Wells Fargo upgraded the S&amp;P 500 technology sector to favourable from neutral, citing strong fundamentals and easing valuation pressures. <\/p>\n<p>The bank said concerns around AI adoption appear overdone, with earnings growth still running at a double-digit pace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCorporate AI technology spending appears to have enough momentum to reach $650 billion this year. And questions about AI adoption are reasonable but we do not expect entire industries to disappear, nor for large unemployment,\u201d Wells Fargo said in a note.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/04\/07\/goldman-sachs-flags-big-tech-buy-as-iran-war-dents-valuations\/\">Goldman Sachs echoed this view<\/a>, noting that the sector\u2019s valuation relative to expected growth has fallen below that of the broader market, a rare occurrence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese factors have opened up an opportunity in the technology sector where growth rates remain strong, but valuations are now low,\u201d Goldman said.<\/p>\n<p>The more constructive stance comes even as geopolitical risks and uncertainty around AI\u2019s economic impact continue to weigh on investor sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/04\/07\/why-nvidia-stock-is-slipping-another-1-5-today\/\">Why Nvidia stock is slipping another 1.5% today<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\">Invezz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia shares declined in early trading Tuesday as geopolitical tensions intensified.
