Nvidia (NVDA) shares fell sharply on April 16, closing down 6.9%, after the company disclosed new U.S. export restrictions targeting its H20 chip and other high-performance circuits. In an 8-K filing, Nvidia revealed that the U.S. government has implemented additional licensing requirements for shipments of these products to China and Chinese-headquartered companies.
As a result, Nvidia expects to record up to $5.5 billion in charges for the April quarter. This hefty write-down suggests the company isn’t confident about securing licenses for continued shipments quickly.
