Why is NVIDIA stock sliding today?
NVIDIA's stock fell 4.3% after halting parts of its AI Compute Partnership program, citing partner objections and antitrust concerns. The decline follows strong Q2 earnings, with revenue of $96.2B and EPS of $2.22, but guidance indicated margin compression. Broader market headwinds, including hawkish Fed comments, also contributed to the drop.
