Nvidia lost approximately $400 billion in market value in a single trading session as its shares fell more than 8% to around $183, marking the company's second-largest one-day loss in value. The decline wiped out the stock's gains for 2026 and represented its biggest market-value setback since the DeepSeek-driven sell-off.
According to Coin Bureau, the latest drop ranks behind only Nvidia's nearly $600 billion loss on January 27, 2025. That earlier decline remains the largest one-day loss in the company's history and followed concerns about the competitive impact of a low-cost artificial intelligence model developed by Chinese startup DeepSeek.
Nvidia Shares Fall 23% Below Record Close
The latest sell-off pushed Nvidia approximately 23% below its record closing price of $239.24, recorded on October 6. With shares trading around $183, the company has surrendered all of its gains for 2026, according to the figures reported by Coin Bureau.
The scale of the decline places the session among the most significant losses in Nvidia's trading history. Although the company has previously experienced sharp market-value swings, the nearly $400 billion reduction in a single day is surpassed only by the approximately $600 billion wiped out in January 2025.
AI Regulation Concerns Weigh on Chipmakers
The pressure extended beyond Nvidia to other semiconductor companies. Reuters attributed the decline among chipmakers to concerns about potentially tougher artificial intelligence regulation following Democrats' sweep of Congress.
Those concerns added to the pressure on technology stocks, with Nvidia experiencing one of the most substantial losses in the sector. The reported political development and the prospect of stricter AI oversight were cited as factors behind the broader weakness in chipmakers.
The comparison with January 27, 2025, also highlights the scale of the latest markets reaction. Nvidia plunged 17% on that date after DeepSeek, a Chinese startup, introduced a low-cost AI model that rattled financial markets. Bloomberg reported that the resulting decline was then the largest one-day loss recorded by any company in history.
The latest session did not exceed that record, but its approximately $400 billion loss in market value made it Nvidia's second-largest daily setback. The stock's decline of more than 8% to around $183 also left it approximately 23% below its October 6 record close of $239.24.
