MoneyShow Chart of the Day 3/18/2026: Why Wasn't $1 TRILLION Enough?

NVDA: When a Trillion Bucks Doesn’t Buy What it Used to

Source: Yahoo Finance

It’s not just a short-term thing with Nvidia, either. The stock hasn’t gone anywhere since last August, with rallies quickly fading (but selloffs also contained).

What’s going on?

First, the company had already predicted a half-trillion in sales through the end of 2026. Throwing out a bigger-sounding number wasn't really a sales forecast boost. More of a timeline extension.

Second, skepticism about the AI borrow-and-spend boom has been taking some of the wind out of the tech giant’s sails for a while. Concern over competition from other chipmakers has, too.

None of that means you have to rush out and dump your Nvidia shares. But money is rotating out of “Big Tech” in search of new sectors and stocks. So, it wouldn’t hurt to diversify a bit if you’re looking for more action in your portfolio - rather than pronouncements that don't move the needle.
