Nvidia Faces 15% Drop Amidst Tech Stocks’ Major Sell-Off
Nvidia’s stock experienced a significant drop, plummeting over 15% in November 2025. This occurred amidst a broader technology sector sell-off, triggered by SoftBank’s announcement of selling its entire $5.83 billion stake in the AI chipmaker in October. The decline represents a sharp correction for the world’s most valuable company, which had reached a $5 trillion market capitalization in late October.
Market Sentiment Shifts
The sell-off accelerated on November 13-14 as concerns mounted about AI bubble valuations and Federal Reserve interest rate policy. SoftBank’s exit, involving 32.1 million shares, spooked investors already nervous about tech sector valuations.
Other AI stocks also suffered, with:
- Tesla dropping 6.64%
- Palantir falling significantly
- The Nasdaq experiencing its worst day in over a month
Pre-Earnings Pressure
Investor anxiety is building ahead of Nvidia’s November 19 earnings report, with expectations for approximately $54.6 billion in quarterly revenue. Despite the recent decline, Nvidia remains up roughly 40% year-to-date and has gained about 1,000% since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022.
Technical analysts note key support levels at $186 (50-day EMA) and $165 (0.382 Fibonacci level), with the stock’s long-term bullish trend still intact if these levels hold.
