Since then, the shares (ticker: NVDA) have tumbled to as low as $410, before bouncing back to $430.89 as of Thursday\u2019s close. That is nearly 13% below the high-water mark<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n<p>Nvidia isn\u2019t the only chip stock that had a bad September. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (<br \/>\n        SOXX<br \/>\n      ), which owns a bundle of 35 chip maker stocks, is down by 7.6% this month.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Applied Materials<br \/>\n       (AMAT) fell 9.5%,<br \/>\n        Lam Research<br \/>\n       (LRXY) lost almost 11%, and<br \/>\n        Broadcom<br \/>\n       (AVGO) is down by 9.8%. Among the 52 companies that MSCI categorizes as semiconductor makers, only Intel (INTC) has avoided a loss as September draws to a close.<\/p>\n<p>The bad performance has more to do with the market, and less with how these semiconductor companies are doing. The<br \/>\n        S&amp;P 500<br \/>\n       is down by 4.6% this month, and the technology names within the index are doing even worse, losing 7% so far in September.<\/p>\n<p>Investors may be taking profits on semiconductor stocks after the group\u2019s spectacular run this year. <\/p>\n<p>Nvidia surprised Wall Street in August with blowout financial results. The company posted $13.5 billion in revenue for the quarter ended in July, nearly double the figure for the previous three months, beating the already bullish Wall Street consensus forecast by 20%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the stock initially spiked, the gains soon waned. Management forecast sales of $16 billion for the third quarter, but investors appeared hesitant to push the stock higher until some of the growth materializes.<\/p>\n<p>Expectations for consistently higher bond yields haven\u2019t helped. Higher returns on risk-free government debt hurt demand for riskier bets like high-growth tech stocks. And higher rates reduce the current discounted value of future earnings\u2014the main reason to pay up for shares of companies like Nvidia.<\/p>\n<p>Some investors might also be worried about China, a major market for U.S. chip makers. The Chinese economy is facing mounting troubles since Beijing lifted Covid-19 restrictions last year, which could contribute to lower semiconductor demand from electronics manufacturers and data centers.<\/p>\n<p>The tech Cold War between the two countries has also escalated. The Biden administration plans to restrict China\u2019s access to American cloud-computing services from providers like<br \/>\n        Amazon.com<br \/>\n       (AMZN) and<br \/>\n        Microsoft<br \/>\n       (MSFT). Beijing has banned the use of iPhones for government employees, triggering concern about potential wider restrictions on U.S. tech products.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the recent losses, Wall Street remains optimistic on semiconductor stocks. Price targets for Nvidia stock among the 54 analysts tracked by<br \/>\n        FactSet<br \/>\n       who cover the company range from $480 to $1,606\u2014all higher than the current price of $431 per share.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia isn\u2019t alone. All 52 semiconductor stocks <em>Barron\u2019s<\/em> looked at have higher target prices than current levels. The implied gains over the next 12 months average 33%. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistorically, these breakdowns have acted as brief respites that rejuvenate bullish trends,\u201d wrote analysts at market analysis firm SentimenTrader, \u201cA month later, the industry was higher 90% of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Write to Evie Liu at evie.liu@barrons.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/articles\/nvidia-chip-stocks-september-8a8810ff?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia stock finally lost steam in September after soaring for much of the year on hope that wide adoption of artificial intelligence will boost demand for the company\u2019s semiconductors.
