Nvidia Loses Top Spot to Apple as AI Chip Stocks Falter

Nvidia has officially lost its crown as the most valuable company in the United States. Apple reclaimed the top position following a sharp downturn in Nvidia stock. The shift comes as the broader semiconductor sector struggles, with every stock in the PHLX Semiconductor Index finishing below its 50 day moving average for the first time since April 2025.

Investors are growing cautious due to news about massive capital commitments. Reports suggest Nvidia might provide a 250 billion dollar guarantee for a major data center project. This level of spending, combined with rising competition from Chinese firms, has triggered concerns about the future profitability of AI infrastructure projects.

While the semiconductor sector faced a 2.2 percent decline, the overall market remains relatively steady. Investors are currently weighing the risks of high AI spending against potential supply chain changes. Traders should monitor whether semiconductor stocks can regain their momentum above key moving averages in the coming weeks.
