New York, Jan 20, 2026, 17:17 EST — After-hours Nvidia dropped Tuesday after Taiwan’s Inventec, a key producer of AI servers powered by Nvidia chips, indicated that approval for selling its H200 processor in China “appears to be stuck on the China side.” Shares closed down 4.3% at $178.07 in late trading.
