Analysis
However, investors are watching closely and are concerned about Nvidia’s ability to sustain such growth. “They’re not only a benchmark for chips, but also a benchmark for AI as a whole,” said Daniel Morgan, senior portfolio manager at Synovus Trust. “If Nvidia misses, (investors are) going to sell off every company in AI.” Nvidia’s chips, crucial for modern data centres, have been snapped up by tech giants like Microsoft. Yet, concerns over the pace of AI spending have led to stock volatility, with shares dipping 20% in July and early August before recovering.
