Nvidia slumps to fresh lows after Jensen Huang affirms plans to invest in OpenAI

Nvidia is on track for its worst loss since late November, with shares extending losses after CEO Jensen Huang said the chip designer’s plan to invest in OpenAI is “on track.”

“There’s no drama involved,” he told CNBC. “Everything’s on track.”

With all due respect, there’s definitely some drama.

On Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI had stalled; shortly thereafter, Huang said the letter of intent announced by the two sides in September was “never a commitment,” but that the company still planned to participate in OpenAI’s upcoming funding round.

Then, a whopping eight sources told Reuters that OpenAI is “unsatisfied” with Nvidia’s latest AI chips, and particularly their inference capabilities.

CEO Sam Altman took to X to call the reporting around his firm and the most valuable publicly traded company in the world “insanity.”

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
