Nvidia stock today: NVDA slips late after report flags surge in China H200 orders and TSMC talks

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 4:11 PM ET — After-hours Nvidia shares edged lower on Wednesday after a Reuters report said the chipmaker has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co to boost production of its H200 artificial intelligence chips to meet resurgent demand from China. The stock was down 79.5 cents, or 0.4%, at $186.75 in late trade. Reuters The report matters because China has been a swing market for Nvidia’s data-center chips, and any shift in export rules can quickly reshape demand and supply. It also underscored how tight the global pipeline remains for top-end AI processors as cloud and

Nvidia stock slips premarket as Reuters flags huge China H200 orders and TSMC supply talks

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 06:53 ET — Premarket Nvidia (NVDA.O) shares fell 0.3% to $187.54 in premarket trading on Wednesday after Reuters reported the company has approached Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co about expanding output of its H200 artificial intelligence chips to meet rising demand from Chinese customers. Reuters The report matters now because it puts China demand back at the center of the Nvidia trade just as supply remains tight across AI hardware. At the reported pricing, the order pipeline would translate into roughly $54 billion in potential sales, assuming approvals and deliveries. It also sharpens a familiar risk-reward

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:29 ET — Regular session Marvell Technology (MRVL) shares rose 1.1% to $86.74 in early afternoon trading on Tuesday, after swinging between $85.58 and $88.07. The move matters because Marvell sits in the center of spending on AI data centers, an area where budgets and valuations tend to react quickly when interest-rate expectations shift. Traders were also bracing for thin, year-end liquidity, which can amplify intraday moves. Reuters Investors also have a near-term company catalyst: a Jan. 6 CES fireside chat hosted by J.P. Morgan with Marvell CEO Matt Murphy, the company’s investor relations calendar

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 10:34 PM ET — Market closed Analog Devices Inc shares fell 0.44% to close at $275.63 on Monday, tracking a softer session for semiconductors and the broader U.S. market. Texas Instruments dropped 0.67% and NXP Semiconductors slid 1.08%, while the S&P 500 ended down 0.35%. MarketWatch The late-December drift matters because thin, year-end trading can magnify price moves even when company news is scarce. “In light volume trading, we’re seeing a reversal of what we saw over the last couple of days,” said Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.

Intel stock ticks higher after Nvidia’s $5 billion stake is finalized

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 11:19 ET — Regular session Intel Corp (INTC.O) shares edged higher on Monday after the chipmaker disclosed that Nvidia (NVDA.O) has completed a $5 billion purchase of newly issued Intel stock. Intel The closing matters because it turns a headline partnership into cash on Intel’s balance sheet at a time the company is spending heavily and trying to regain momentum in PCs and data-center processors. Reuters It also crystallizes a key trade-off for existing shareholders: the stock was sold at a fixed $23.28 per share, far below Intel’s current trading level, increasing dilution even as

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 22:25 ET — Market closed Texas Instruments (TXN.O) shares are likely to be in focus when U.S. markets reopen on Monday after memory-technology firm Weebit Nano (WBT.AX) said it licensed its ReRAM technology to the chipmaker. GlobeNewswire+1 TI shares last closed down about 0.1% at $176.88 on Friday. Texas Instruments Investor Relations The agreement matters because it targets memory inside “embedded processing” chips — the microcontrollers and other small processors that run equipment in factories, cars and consumer devices. Those chips need non-volatile memory, which retains data even when power is off. GlobeNewswire+1 Weebit said

NEW YORK, December 28, 2025, 18:15 ET — Market closed Micron Technology (MU) shares ended the last U.S. trading session down 0.6% at $284.79. Yahoo Finance The move matters now because Micron has been one of the market’s clearest expressions of the rebound in AI-linked chip trades, with investors leaning on expectations that memory prices stay firm as data-center demand rises. Reuters+1 Macro risks have also moved back to the front of the screen, with minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Dec. 9-10 meeting due Tuesday and traders focused on the path of interest rates into 2026.
