  • Nvidia Slips Nearly 5% as Credit Risks Draw Parallels to Cisco's 2000 Downturn
    July 27, 2026, 1:00 PM EDT. Shares of NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell 4.92%, reflecting investor worries about $250 billion in OpenAI lease guarantees and associated credit risk, similar to the issues that led to Cisco's sharp decline in 2000. While Nvidia reported $81.615 billion in Q1 FY27 revenue with momentum accelerating, concerns focus on financing uncertainties reminiscent of the 86% drop Cisco experienced after 2000 when customer financing evaporated. Unlike Cisco's 130-150 trailing P/E in 2000, Nvidia currently trades at 32, with healthier cash flow and higher shareholder returns.
