Nvidia’s (NVDA) hold over the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market has been stellar, and its GPUs fueled a revolution that sent the stock soaring 179% in 2024, making it the best performing in the Dow Jones Industrials Average ($DOWI). Record-breaking revenue, a seat at the table of America’s most elite stocks, and the dawn of its Blackwell architecture made 2024 a year to remember.
But dominance does not mean immunity. Nvidia shed nearly $600 billion in market value in a single day after Chinese startup DeepSeek revealed it trained an AI model at a significantly reduced cost, raising questions about whether Nvidia’s biggest customers have been overspending and if they will start cutting back.
