Nvidia plunges 9% as AI selloff erases $2.3 trillion in value
Nvidia plunged 9% as an AI-led selloff erased $2.3 trillion in market value across the sector and broader market. The move leaves Nvidia’s next results as the key test of whether its earnings growth can absorb a sharp reset in AI valuations.

Nvidia fell 9% during the U.S. market close as an AI-focused selloff wiped out $2.3 trillion in market value. The move was part of broader cross-platform coverage of the market session on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio and YouTube on Nov. 5.
Nvidia’s latest full-year figures show $215.9 billion in revenue, up 65.5% year over year, with a 71.1% gross margin and a 55.6% net margin. Those figures provide a strong operating base, but the market reaction shows that current growth is being weighed against the durability of AI spending and the valuation attached to it.
The immediate company link is Nvidia: a sustained AI spending reset would affect demand for its data-center accelerators and the revenue growth supporting its earnings. The broader selloff also reached other chipmakers, making the episode a sector repricing rather than an isolated move in one stock.
The evidence establishes the size of the market reaction, but not its specific trigger or whether the decline reflects weaker fundamentals, positioning, or a change in expectations. Nvidia’s next reported results and outlook will provide the clearest company-specific evidence on demand, supply and customer spending.
The next key marker is Nvidia’s next earnings release. Investors will be looking for continued revenue growth and whether management maintains its outlook for AI-related demand.
Our read · Thu, Nov 5
Nvidia plunged 9% as an AI selloff erased $2.3 trillion in market value.
Why. The selloff challenges the premium attached to Nvidia’s AI growth, but the operating base remains substantial: full-year revenue reached $215.9 billion, up 65.5% year over year, alongside a 71.1% gross margin and 55.6% net margin. Without a dated forward event, the evidence supports a two-sided read: the next results must show whether demand and outlook can withstand the valuation reset.
Both cases
What could change this view: The read fails if Nvidia’s next results or outlook show a sharp deterioration in AI demand, or if the broader sector selloff continues independently of company fundamentals.
