AMD Joins NVIDIA in the Nasdaq-100 Index
AMD will join the coveted Nasdaq-100 index at opening-bell on December 24. With a market-capitalization of $17.72 billion, AMD will join the list of 100 of the largest companies by market-cap listed on Nasdaq that includes non-financial companies. AMD peaked $33.2 billion market-cap in September, but fell 46% due to the cryptocurrency crash that affected sales of GPUs. It still grew 57.23% year-over-year, and hence fared relatively better than NVIDIA, which fell from $289.36 per share as on October 1, to around $135.1 as of now, a 53% decline, but a roughly $150 billion erosion in value over a span of just 3 months.

Talk about back from the brink!
On the GPU front, if you look, AMD is also sitting on quite a bit of Vega inventory (Vega was just ungodly profitable for mining), but didn't bet the farm on crypto like nvidia did and are now liquidating leftovers through Sapphire at good prices to keep their cash flowing. Less profit, but less inventory writeoff also. IMO better strategy.
It's simply someone made couble of billions just for couple of days/weeks/months.
You should look for revenue and company's income - and that one almost didn't drop at all.
It has nothing to do with your anger towards turing prices, guys. And there's still thousands of dumb idiots who neverminded and ate those 1200$+ for single chip - so IMHO, huang is just more than satisfied. Plus, turing itself was definitely a progress - +30% of total perfomance+new tech - so, formally, nVidia "simply works" .
Just look at the Fallout 76 sales - 1.4M of copies sold,lol.
Though, NVDA price now is as low as 129$, by now...
There seems to be a bigger issue beyond the evil nVidians.
The consensus is they are now oversold, ultimately playing the stock market is a mugs game for all but the big fish, but I'm pretty sure Nvidia remain a viable business for the time being.
See for instance, the moment Nvidia started taking a hit:
