How bad is it?

HEXUS.sharewatch


While it's only been a few days since the last HEXUS.sharewatch, the dramatic effect on NVIDIA's share price following its announcement of two pieces of financial bad news yesterday means that it's worth a look at early trading on the NASDAQ and Dow today.

Soon after the NASDAQ opened, NVIDIA's stock was trading at 30 percent below its closing price yesterday.

By 10am ET, it was around 27 percent below the close and over 32 percent below its price at the end of last week.

The other thing to keep an eye on is what effect this news might have on other technology stocks. AMD's shares are also declining in value quite rapidly, but this slide started a week before the NVIDIA news and it closed at 5.44 yesterday so not too much of its decline can be attributed to the NVIDIA news.

Intel's has dropped a bit, but again this seems to be mainly the continuation of a longer trend the big system builders: HP and Dell seem barely affected if at all. Among the distributors, Ingram Micro and Tech Data are stable, but Avnet is experiencing a fairly steep decline.
