Regular-session close on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 4:00 p.m. New York time. Stock prices: Yahoo Finance, cross-checked against Nasdaq's official close. Indices, the 10-year Treasury yield and oil (Brent and WTI front-month futures): Yahoo Finance daily closes for the same date.
Nvidia opened at $225.53, below the previous close of $228.52 and Tuesday's higher finish, and never recovered that level. The stock traded between $219.64 and $226.00 and closed $1.66 above the day's low, near the bottom of its range. Volume reached 117.2 million shares, 7.60% above the average of 109.0 million shares.
The decline was steeper than the market's. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.88% to 26,692.87, the S&P 500 lost 1.11% to 7,718.94 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.09% to 51,621.48, leaving Nvidia 1.28 percentage points behind the Nasdaq. Chip peers fell further: AMD (AMD) dropped 5.73%, Micron 4.10% and TSMC (TSM) 3.40%, while Broadcom lost 3.10%. The US 10-year Treasury yield eased 2.7 basis points to 5.19%.
At $221.30, Nvidia sits 9.07% below its 52-week high of $243.37 and 34.72% above its 52-week low of $164.27, with a market value of $5.51 trillion.
None of the sources reviewed named a company-specific cause for Wednesday's decline, so the move is best read against the wider selling in semiconductors, where several peers lost more than Nvidia did.
Two Nvidia-related stories ran around the session. According to MT Newswires, citing a Bloomberg interview published Wednesday, CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia would consider halting chip supplies to customers developing unsafe AI, after first raising concerns with them.
Huang also said demand for AI infrastructure will keep exceeding component supply for years, and Nvidia is donating $250 million over five years to UK AI safety research. The report did not link these remarks to the share move.
Separately, as reported by Motley Fool, Microsoft (MSFT) unveiled its Maia 300 AI chip on Monday. Microsoft says the chip processes 40% more tokens per megawatt than GPUs, with production starting in 2027. Microsoft shares fell 1.80% on Wednesday.
NVDA Stock Analysis: Supporting Factors and Risks
Supporting Factors
Huang said demand for AI infrastructure will keep running ahead of component supply for years, per MT Newswires.
Motley Fool notes Nvidia remains part of Microsoft's AI mix and argues the Maia 300 competes on cost rather than raw power, with production not due until 2027.
Trading volume ran 7.60% above average, and the stock remains 34.72% above its 52-week low.
Risks
Custom chips such as Microsoft's Maia 300 could handle lower-difficulty in-house AI workloads more cheaply, which Motley Fool says could weigh on Nvidia's sales volume even if its chips stay the most powerful.
The stock fell more than the Nasdaq Composite on Wednesday, showing its exposure to broad selling in technology and chip stocks.
Nvidia now trades 9.07% below its 52-week high of $243.37.
