Bad luck for the champion of Wall Street. Admired for several months, Nvidia has suffered a setback of more than 16% since its historic peak last Thursday indicates Les Échos. In a single session (Monday), the stock lost 6.5%.
In three sessions, Nvidia therefore lost its status as the world's largest capitalization (it only lasted one day) and suffered a drop of 430 billion dollars, bringing its valuation to 2 900 billion dollars. If it remains more valued than all the CAC 40 companies, Nvidia is suffering an unprecedented setback.
This disappointment takes with it the American stock market. On Monday (the day of Nvidia's biggest fall), the S&P 500 fell 0.3% when 70% of other companies recorded an increase.
Return to Earth

Apple and Microsoft back at the top
This slowdown in Nvidia's rise therefore benefits Microsoft and Apple, who regain the first two places in global capitalization. But they could also experience some fluctuations in the coming weeks. The two companies must in fact comply with the requirements of the Digital Market Act in the deployment of their AI.
If Microsoft works closely with the EU, Apple is under threat of a $38 billion fine.Coincidence of timing or desire for revenge, Tim Cook and his lieutenants have decided not to launch certain features of iOS 18 in Europe, including Apple Intelligence, its main innovation. The announcement of Apple-style AI excited the markets, which saw a new cycle of renewal of the iPhone, a product on which most of the company's revenue is based.
