Retail Investors Pour $111 Million Into Nvidia Shares Amid Sell-Off
· Business · Economic Times, Reuters, Financial Times
Retail investors poured a record $111 million into Nvidia shares during the first half-hour of trading on Thursday, helping limit an opening loss of up to 14% to about 5%. The heavy dip-buying occurred following CEO Jensen Huang's resignation and a report regarding his relationship with a company executive. Thursday's drop added $550 billion to Nvidia's market-value decline for the week, with the stock closing off 5% by Thursday afternoon. Market strategists noted that retail investors have consistently bought market dips since the end of the financial crisis in 2009. Vanda Research confirmed that Thursday's opening rush marked the largest-ever first-half-hour retail capital flow into Nvidia.
Why it matters
The heavy retail buying demonstrates that confidence in the broader AI trade remains resilient among individual investors despite high-profile leadership changes and significant market volatility.
