• Negative Sentiment: Market shrugged — despite the beat, NVDA shares initially fell as some investors judged the report “not enough” vs. sky-high expectations and worried about a rotation out of megacap AI names. That reactive selling has amplified short-term volatility. WSJ: Lukewarm reception
• Negative Sentiment: China & export uncertainty — revenue from China remains constrained by export controls and limited H200 shipments; management excluded China from near-term guidance, creating an upside risk if approvals come — but a downside risk if geopolitical frictions continue. CNBC: China sales/controls
• Negative Sentiment: Valuation and structural concerns — critics (including high-profile investors) point to rising purchase obligations, insider selling and the risk of AI spending normalizing; these narratives can cap near-term upside even with excellent fundamentals.
