Nvidia Shares Slide 3.15% as Industry Calls to Slow AI Development Rattle the Chip Giant's Investors

Nvidia shares fell 3.15% to $211.41 on Monday after AI executives called for slowing AI development, raising concerns about demand for Nvidia's chips. The company's revenue grew from $130.50B to $215.94B in fiscal 2025-2026, with a 74.7% gross margin. Nvidia is reportedly in talks to invest $10B in Anthropic, whose CEO's essay triggered the selloff. Other chipmakers also declined but partially recovered. Analysts note Nvidia's diversification efforts and potential undervaluation.
