  • Nvidia stock muted after China blocks H200 shipments; traders eye earnings and AI-chip roadmap
    January 18, 2026, 1:53 PM EST. NVIDIA shares closed down 0.41% to $186.23 on Friday after a Financial Times report that Chinese customs blocked shipments of the H200 AI processor.

Analysts at Wolfe Research keep Nvidia on the Alpha List, citing a ramp for Blackwell and Rubin chips; they see upside to 2026 revenue if the trend holds.
