NVIDIA's AI infrastructure chips led sector gains as AI memory and networking suppliers outperformed hyperscalers during a 1.5% weekly S&P 500 decline. A veteran strategist warns 95% of corporate AI initiatives lack measurable returns and OpenAI’s potential IPO delay to 2027 for a $1 trillion valuation has triggered AI-chip stock sell-offs.
NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure offerings drove sector gains as memory and networking chip suppliers outperformed hyperscaler-focused stocks during a 1.5% weekly S&P 500 decline. Investors shifted to firms benefiting directly from AI buildout, boosting NVIDIA’s relative performance.
A veteran strategist warned that 95% of corporate AI projects have failed to yield measurable returns, fueling concerns that companies funding large-scale AI infrastructure may not recoup investments. This skepticism could pressure NVIDIA’s growth if demand slows.
News that OpenAI may delay its IPO until 2027 to target a $1 trillion valuation triggered selloffs in AI and chip stocks, including NVIDIA. The potential postponement raised doubts about the timing and durability of AI spending, though commitments of $600 billion in computing capacity suggest underlying demand remains intact.
