Nvidia Stock Enters Bear Market as Tech Rout Torches Valuation
Nvidia shares dropped significantly amid a broader tech stock rout, sliding into a bear market and trading below $200. The sharp decline triggered heavy losses, including a 9 percent drop that put the stock down for 2026. Despite the steep valuation hit, some market participants and analysts view the downturn as a golden buying opportunity. Jim Cramer urged the company to buy its own shares following an 8 percent drop, arguing that the cheapest asset available is the stock itself.
Why it matters
Nvidia pioneered the graphics processing unit and grew to dominate artificial intelligence hardware, surpassing US$4 trillion and US$5 trillion in market capitalization in 2025. The current downturn reflects a broader market sell-off affecting technology valuations rather than a fundamental shift in the underlying business. Investors are closely watching how the stock recovers and what future numbers might change the outlook for 2027.
