Nvidia Kills PC Maker Acquisition Rumor, Sending Dell and HP Stocks Back Down
Nvidia denied reports it is in talks to acquire any PC maker, calling a media claim “false.” The rumor had sent Dell and HP shares higher Monday before both fell Tuesday, while Nvidia stock rose $7.14 to $196.51. Bloomberg said the original report described talks going back over a year. Nvidia is expanding into CPUs and AI inference, increasing competition with Intel and AMD.
