Nvidia’s 2025 Stock Decline: AI Chip Restrictions and Market Pressures
Nvidia’s stock has plummeted 20% in 2025, erasing gains from its previous tech-sector dominance. The drop from $144 to $106 reflects U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips to China—a critical revenue source—and rising competition from local players like Huawei.
Tariffs and supply-chain disruptions have compounded the pressure, despite temporary pauses. The company now faces a prolonged recovery challenge as it navigates geopolitical trade barriers and an increasingly crowded semiconductor market.
