Nvidia shares slipped in early U.S. premarket trading Wednesday, pausing after CEO Jensen Huang’s recent Computex comments sent more money into the AI supply chain.
Nvidia shares were last quoted at $222.82, down $1.46 from where they finished the previous session, putting the company’s market cap near $5.43 trillion. The most recent trade showed up in the feed at 08:03 UTC, just after U.S. premarket opened.
Nvidia isn’t just another chip name trading on results these days. The stock is now a daily readout for AI capex bets and the whole Nasdaq trade. Even small swings can move hundreds of billions in market cap.
The U.S. cash session hasn’t started yet. Nasdaq says regular hours run from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, with system hours opening at 4 a.m. Its 2026 holiday list puts the next U.S. equity market holiday on Juneteenth, June 19. Markets are not closed on Wednesday.
S&P 500 gained 0.13% Tuesday. Dow was up 0.45%. Nasdaq Composite finished just 0.03% higher. The Philadelphia semiconductor index climbed 5.9%. “There is a lot going on under the hood,” said Mike Dickson, head of portfolio management at Horizon Investments, as AI infrastructure stocks outpaced the wider market.

Marvell Technology surged after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called it the next “trillion-dollar company.” Shares hit a record, closing up 22.5% that session, Reuters said. Nvidia added 3.2%. Earlier this year, Nvidia put $2 billion into Marvell to let its customers run Marvell’s custom AI chips on Nvidia networking and processors. Reuters
Marvell isn’t chasing headlines. Its interconnect tech is key for wiring up thousands of processors in hyperscale data centers, moving data quicker between chips as AI workloads swell. Marvell says it expects revenue from its custom chips business to clear $10 billion in fiscal 2029.
Nvidia (NVDA) set a high mark for itself. Back in May, it projected second-quarter revenue would hit $91 billion, give or take 2%. That’s higher than the $86.84 billion Wall Street had in mind. The company also rolled out plans for an $80 billion share buyback. First-quarter sales reached $81.62 billion, beating LSEG forecasts as well.
Nvidia is moving past the cloud, too. At Computex, it rolled out RTX Spark with Microsoft, a chip platform for Windows PCs to run AI agents on the device instead of just on remote servers. “The PC is being reinvented,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in the announcement. NVIDIA Newsroom
Nvidia is now closer to Qualcomm as both try to gain from Microsoft’s AI-PC push. According to Reuters, industry experts think Nvidia’s new processor will go after inference—the part where chips deliver AI answers once training is done. Investors are watching this as the next move after the run-up in data-center training.
Broadcom reports earnings on Wednesday, giving another look at demand for custom AI chips and networking gear beyond Nvidia. Investors will watch the results for signs that interest in the sector is holding up.
But the trade isn’t without risk. Brent is trading close to $95 as Middle East fighting drags on, U.S. rate-cut bets have faded, and the market is waiting for ADP payrolls, the ISM services data and the Fed’s Beige Book later Wednesday. “Things are looking more precarious,” said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, after markets unwound bets on a U.S.-Iran deal.

Market-structure risks are in focus. The Cboe Volatility Index, known as Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” is still low, even with sharp swings in some AI stocks. Adam Turnquist, a strategist at LPL Financial, said the setup could get “vulnerable if correlations begin to rise.” That shift might hit crowded trades in certain single-stock winners. Reuters
Nvidia faces a clear trade-off now: will investors shrug off Wednesday’s early dip before the regular session, or does it show the AI rally needs a new reason to run after Marvell’s move? Broadcom, economic data, and whatever Huang says next could set the tone.
