NVIDIA shares opened September 14, 2026, near $211 and traded down more than 2.5% intraday amid a broad tech selloff triggered by AI leaders calling for slower model development. The stock had closed at $218.29 on September 11 after sliding from early-September highs near $235, reflecting recent profit-taking following August earnings that showed $96.2 billion revenue and robust data-center growth. Fundamentals remain anchored by hyperscaler demand and 70% projected revenue expansion into fiscal 2028, though elevated memory costs and supply constraints are pressuring margins. With the Federal Reserve policy meeting ahead and options-implied volatility elevated, trader positioning for the day’s close centers on whether the AI-driven rotation stabilizes or extends the pullback from the $236.54 52-week high.
