$600 Billion Loss: Nvidia’s Stock Attempts Recovery Amid AI Turmoil

Nvidia Faces Challenges After Historic $600 Billion Market Cap Decline

Editorial Team (ET)July 26, 2025

Nvidia Corporation (NVDA), the undisputed leader in AI-driven GPUs, is facing an uphill battle as it attempts to recover from a historic market plunge. Following a staggering $600 billion loss in market capitalization triggered by DeepSeek AI's disruptive announcement, Nvidia’s stock is cautiously climbing back.

What Happened: The DeepSeek Frenzy

On Monday, Nvidia’s shares took a dramatic 17% nosedive, marking the largest single-day market cap loss in stock market history. The sell-off was ignited by investor concerns over Chinese AI startup DeepSeek’s announcement of a highly cost-effective AI model.

DeepSeek claimed to have used a process called "distillation" to train its new AI model, reportedly spending less than $6 billion—an amount significantly lower than what US tech giants typically allocate for similar AI developments. The revelation fueled fears that Nvidia’s high-priced GPUs could lose their competitive edge as companies reevaluate their AI infrastructure budgets.

Market-Wide Fallout

The shockwaves of DeepSeek’s announcement weren’t confined to Nvidia. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index dropped 3% on Monday, and chip stocks across the board saw declines. Notably, Broadcom (AVGO), another major player in the semiconductor industry, experienced a similar dip but began showing signs of recovery on Tuesday.

Nvidia Responds With Poise

Despite the turmoil, Nvidia maintained a composed stance. In a statement released on Monday, the company praised DeepSeek’s R1 model as "an excellent AI advancement." However, analysts remain skeptical of the cost-saving claims made by the Chinese startup.

JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur and Citi analyst Christopher Danley raised questions about the true costs of DeepSeek’s AI model. They pointed out that DeepSeek relied heavily on Meta’s open-source Llama AI framework and cloud service providers, suggesting that the reported costs might not fully reflect the resources used.

Wall Street's Take: Long-Term AI Growth

Wall Street analysts continue to see strong growth potential for the AI sector despite the immediate market volatility. Raymond James analyst Srini Pajjuri noted that DeepSeek’s limited access to compute resources compared to US hyperscalers like Nvidia makes its achievements impressive but not necessarily market-shifting.

Analysts also highlighted that AI adoption is still in its early stages, meaning that demand for Nvidia’s GPUs and related AI infrastructure is unlikely to wane significantly in the long term.

The Road Ahead for Nvidia

As Nvidia navigates this challenging period, the company’s resilience will be tested. Investors are watching closely to see if the AI juggernaut can sustain its dominant market position amid mounting competition from innovative startups like DeepSeek.

While the near-term stock fluctuations may create uncertainty, Nvidia’s stronghold on AI technology and its ongoing innovation pipeline suggest that the company remains a formidable force in the semiconductor industry.
