Nvidia has almost recovered all of its DeepSeek losses

A whopping $593 billion worth of market capitalization was wiped from Nvidia in a single day in January, as doubt turned to fear and fear turned to panic over the sudden emergence of Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek, which appeared to threaten the soaring demand for semis and chips to power the AI revolution. Now, almost all of that value has been restored.

At the time of writing, shares in Nvidia are changing hands for $141 and change in premarket trading, as investors bid up the company’s stock after the Presidents Day weekend. That’s just ~1% below the $142.62 closing price the day before the “DeepSeek freak” took hold, and ~5% below the stock’s record closing price of $149.43 (January 6, 2025).

Last week, the chip designer reclaimed its 50-day moving average for the first time since suffering those mammoth losses, as corporate earnings have showed that Big Tech still plans to spend hundreds of billions on high-powered chips this year.

The company’s earnings are expected on February 26 after the market close. Analysts are expecting the company’s rampant growth to continue, with sales expected to come in at $37.97 billion, up 72% on last year’s haul. EPS is expected to print $0.84.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
