Nvidia share price: down about 23% from its record, earnings Nov 17

How far it fell. Sources give different numbers because they count on different days. On closing prices, 24/7 Wall St says the stock was 21.96% below the $239.24 record on November 6, a market value loss of about $1.27 trillion. Benzinga on November 8 writes of a 23% fall and a bear market. Forbes on November 6 wrote of 25% and about $1.4 trillion. A bear market usually means a fall of more than 20% from a peak. We use the most recent dated figure, 23%, and list the gap under unknowns.

How it fell. The worst day was Thursday, November 5: the stock fell 9.26% to $181.60. For the week it lost 8.76%, its worst week since early April 2025. The S&P 500 lost 2.68% on the week and the Nasdaq Composite 3.37%, so most of the damage hit chips. Friday brought a bounce.

Why. The main reason, per Forbes: data centers are built with debt, rates are high, and investors punish firms with negative cash flow. Fewer new sites would mean fewer Nvidia chips needed. The second reason is politics. Per 24/7 Wall St, global markets and data editor Jared Blikre tied the November 5 drop to Democrats winning both chambers of Congress after campaigns against data centers. Benzinga points to the risk of bans on new centers, especially in Texas. Forbes, citing CNBC, says Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa wants an immediate moratorium. Benzinga adds a general worry about AI: Ken Griffin and Ray Dalio have warned of a bubble.

What the business says. Forbes: Nvidia's revenue grew 106% last quarter and beat expectations. The company's guidance for the current quarter is $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. Analysts, per Benzinga data, expect $108.9 billion, up 91% from a year earlier. But Forbes notes the stock fell after six of the last ten reports, even when the firm beat estimates.

When the report lands. Nvidia says the call is on Tuesday, November 17, at 2 p.m. Pacific time. That is 5 p.m. in New York and 22:00 UTC, so early morning on November 18 in Singapore and in the small hours in India. The quarter ended October 25, 2026. Results are due at about 1:20 p.m. Pacific, and written commentary from CFO Colette Kress goes on the investor site right after.
