NVIDIA Loses $250B as AI Demand Fears Spike

NVIDIA shares fell 4.4% on Friday, closing at $225.32 and wiping out roughly $250 billion in market value. Investors grew nervous over potential slowdowns in AI spending, high valuations, and broader rotation away from mega-cap tech stocks. Analysts cited reports of hyperscale customers reassessing AI server deployments and cautious remarks from Big Tech executives on capital expenditure. Despite the drop, most Wall Street firms maintain Buy ratings, and institutional investors largely treated the decline as a buying opportunity.
