Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) fell about 8% in early trading as the Magnificent 7 stock suffered its biggest intraday market cap loss ever on Monday.
As of 10 a.m. ET, the “Mag 7” group had lost more than $860 billion in market valuation. Together, the Mag 7 stocks make up about 43% of the Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) weighting.
The group’s other components also fell, with Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG) and Meta (META) falling more than 3%. EV giant Tesla (TSLA) fell more than 5%.
E-commerce giant Amazon (AMZN) fell more than 8%, while software maker Microsoft (MSFT) lost 5%.
Separate corporate news also put pressure on Mag 7 shares.
Apple (AAPL) fell more than 4% after Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) announced over the weekend that it had halved its stake in the iPhone maker.
AI chip heavyweight Nvidia fell as much as 13% at open market, recouping some of its losses. Analysts noted that recent negative catalysts weighed on the stock.
According to The Information, the launch of the company’s next-generation AI chips will be delayed by three months, potentially impacting the company’s largest customers such as Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta.
“Nvidia has a window to sell to Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta, while those companies are busy building data centers as quickly as possible. That window will close at some point,” Gil Luria, DA Davison senior software analyst, told Yahoo Finance on Monday.
“If Nvidia loses some of those sales during that period, that will definitely impact the value of Nvidia,” the analyst said.
Monday’s action follows a recent heavy sell-off on Wall Street, as chip stocks have fallen sharply over the past week.
On Friday, Nvidia closed the session down just 1.8%, while shares of Intel (INTC) tumbled more than 26% after a disastrous second-quarter earnings report. A broad decline in chip stocks also led to a decline in the tech sector.
Following the July jobs report, which showed job growth slowed last month and the unemployment rate reached a nearly three-year high, the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) entered correction territory, defined as a 10% decline from its most recent high.
