In other recent news, Nvidia has been at the center of multiple developments. Two Chinese nationals were charged with illegally exporting tens of millions of dollars’ worth of Nvidia’s AI chips, including the H100s, to China without proper licenses. This action violates U.S. export restrictions, as confirmed by the U.S. Justice Department. Meanwhile, data from Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW)’s Trading Activity Index revealed a shift in retail investor behavior, with Nvidia becoming the top buy in July after a period of selling in June. In a competitive move, Huawei Technologies announced plans to open-source its AI chip toolkit, which could challenge Nvidia’s dominance in the AI processor market.
Additionally, Hon Hai (TW:2317) Precision Industry Co., Nvidia’s main server assembly partner, reported a slowdown in sales growth for July. The company’s sales increased by 7.25% to $20.5 billion, which fell short of analysts’ expectations of a 12.2% rise. This slower growth is potentially linked to tariff-related uncertainties affecting electronics demand.
