NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) is getting hit on 2 fronts today as the stock drops 5% as of 1:45 p.m. EST, curtailing the impressive 2 week run the stock was riding before today. News surfaced that the Biden administration is considering further export restrictions on U.S. Chips to certain Persian Gulf countries, according to Bloomberg from unknown sources. Other competitors of NVIDIA are also reeling today, Advanced Micro Devices (Nasdaq:AMD) is down 5% and Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) trading 2.4% lower.
The bigger news that is causing more of today’s hurt comes from ASML Holding (Nasdaq:ASML), a key supplier to chipmakers like Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). ASML’s orders fell significantly short of expectations, further dampening sentiment across the semiconductor industry, dragging the PHLX Semiconductor Index down by nearly 5%.

What’s Next for Nvidia?
Despite the recent dip, Nvidia’s future remains promising especially in the AI chip sector, where demand for its next-generation Blackwell systems is described as “intense.” Nvidia has already sold out Blackwell systems through the end of 2025, signaling that revenue in the coming year won’t be limited by demand but by how many systems the company can produce.
Wall Street analysts are starting to raise their 2025 earnings estimates and the stock could hit $200 per share, with some now predicting that Nvidia’s Blackwell chips could surpass revenue from its prior-generation Hopper chips as early as next year. The strength of Nvidia’s AI capabilities is a key driver of these positive revisions, and the company continues to maintain a dominant 85% market share in the AI chip market.
With Blackwell AI server systems now shipping and Nvidia’s leadership position in AI hardware secure, the company is positioned to continue benefiting from the AI boom. While geopolitical risks and trade tensions remain, the demand for Nvidia’s products remains strong, and its future growth prospects are bright.
Bottomline for NVDX and NVDL
