Nvidia Slashes Asia Buyer List Amid China Chip Crackdown
NVDA sits 26% above its 52-week low of $162.02.
Summary
Nvidia has halved its list of Asian buyers as part of a crackdown on chip sales to China, according to the Financial Times. The move directly impacts Nvidia's ability to sell to a key market, where it had recently resumed H200 chip sales estimated to generate up to $12 billion annually. This follows a period of strong China-related revenue and comes amid ongoing U.S.-China tech tensions. The reduction in approved buyers could materially dent future data center revenue growth, which just posted a 92% year-over-year increase. Investors will watch for official confirmation and any guidance revision in the upcoming earnings call.
At the time of this announcement, NVDA was trading at $203.53 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.9T.
