Shares of Nvidia fell 9.5% today as the market frets about slowing progress in AI. The result was a decline of $278 billion, which is the worst ever market cap wipeout from a single stock in a day.
There were worries last week after earnings but shares of Nvidia steadied after nearly a dozen price target boosts from analysts. But that would only offer a temporary reprieve as a round of profit-taking hit today and snowballed.
NVDAs drop today is the largest-ever destruction of market cap (-$278B)

They’ve got the chips. I might need to buy the dip.
worst SO FAR, tomorrow will be -12%
I’ve known this company for 25 years. They’ve got the goods, always have. There’s still upside here.
Largest dip so far ![img](emote|t5_2th52|53057)
Up 285,000% from 1999.
I think it was the DOJ antitrust subpoena, not AI fears
To put that into perspective, $278B represents a higher market cap than Chevron (CVX), Adobe (ADBE) or AMD.
Sorry everyone, I purchased $15k of Nvidia today. Any time I buy stock it plummets 10-20% that day. Every time.
My last buy was $10k of GoodRx on August 7th. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)
Glad I’m not alone with my misery! 😂
the fundamentals are good and the earnings are solid for the next 2-3 years. Buy the dip 🙂
lol I remember when META had the single biggest loss in market cap last year
Sorry, I bought the dip on Friday and the dip today, it kept dipping after hours
The Market for the last year: AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI AI
The Market on a random Tuesday in September of 2024: Man, AI ain’t shit.
$32 on x-mas.
Too bad it didn’t hit a Trillion! It would have sounded pretty nice.
Well yeah because the politicians and institutions got the heads up about the DOJ investigation and dumped on retail all day. What a scam.
I uhhhh lost a lot of money today. Luckily nothing permanent… assuming NVDA hits 135 by 2025
Last time NVDA shit the bed last month, I panic sold some and regretted it. Panic sell again?
The DOJ caught wind of those Geforce partner programs a couple years ago…
They may have some basis here… although i believe that even without those deals, AMD would never stood a chance anyway… but Jensen is greedy.
Sold in premarket at 117 for a slight loss taken from my net gains.
You guys ever seen a bubble pop before? Buckle up and hold onto your little nutsacks children. The Everything Bubble brought to you by COVID, the Fed and “AI” is about to shower you with confetti.
Ok but my cousin used ChatGPT to write his wedding vows. So…
AI !!!!!!!!

Fuck
September takes its first victim.
Who will follow next?
Yeah it’s a big pyramid scheme that hedge funds pull off.
YEAH I NOTICED THANKS
Yeah that says more to me about how ridiculously overpriced NVDA was to begin with lmao
It’s a meme stock for billionaires what did we expect
Shit will trade back up 150b tomorrow minimum ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4276)![img](emote|t5_2th52|27189)
Anyone who works at a company pushing AI AI AI AI (like me) knows it’s all bullshit.
What happened with the crush on 8/7 from $110 to $91? *That* should be the record.
Amazing that the CEO and a bunch of market whales knew to sell the last month or so.
Don’t worry fellas. It’s only because I bought EoW calls for 125$ 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I’ll sell first thing on the morrow to recoup your losses. 👐👐👐👐👐
Buy this opportunity
Closed those nvda 140 calls I was selling today at a huge profit. Just don’t look at my shares
For you, the day Nvidia dropped $278 billion in market cap it was the greatest single-day drop of a single stock in history. For me, it was Tuesday. -Jensen
Remember the last time this happened news came out 2 Days later that retail sold and corporations bought the dip. 🤣🤣🤣
My June 2025 puts rose 35% or so
so what you’re saying is now is the chance to buy more!!!
I only shorted $2k…
NVDA fell today due to this too: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-hit-subpoena-us-justice-203656151.html
Congress has NVDA Puts that need to print, so they took things in their own hands
It’s about 2 trillion overvalued anyways
Because of antitrust probe right? Bold of the Dems to crash the stock market months before an election
Oh yeah… I’m almost there. Just a little more and I’m gonna buy so hard…
Would be a good time for NVDA to start their buy back, just sayin.
it was because big money knew about the DOJ anti trust news that wasnt released to the public until after they sold and market closed.
Think part of it is also a DoJ anti-trust law suit.
It’s for your own good when govt goes after innovators.
