Stock Market Today: Nvidia Extends Slide as AI Momentum Stalls

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA) dropped 1.91% on Tuesday to $170.78, its fourth consecutive decline. The stock traded 229.04 million shares, well above its 3‑month average, suggesting strong investor activity amid mounting unease.

Wider markets mirrored the weakness, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) falling 0.69% and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) down 0.82%, driven by concerns over valuation and AI-linked demand slowing.

NVIDIA's sector peers also declined. Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ: AMD) edged down 0.19% to $162.32, while Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) slipped 0.57% to $24.21.

The continued pressure follows NVIDIA's cautious revenue forecast last week, which has raised fresh doubts about the near-term pace of AI infrastructure investment. Despite strong long-term demand signals, many investors appear to be recalibrating expectations in the face of mounting macro headwinds.
