Despite a modest 11% rise for Nvidia and similar underperformance from Celestica, the AI chip ecosystem is gearing up for a massive earnings season. Data center demand for GPUs and advanced manufacturing is outstripping supply, suggesting that the stocks may be poised for a rapid catch-up.
A brutal 4.65% drop in the PHLX chip index on July 7 was exacerbated by reports that Chinese startup DeepSeek is developing its own AI chip, posing a new competitive threat to Nvidia and Huawei. Even Samsung’s record earnings couldn't stop the rout, as the AI hardware boom faces a valuation reality check and rising global rivalry.

The first half of 2026 saw a bizarre market rotation away from core AI enablers Nvidia and Meta, even as both companies prepared to launch next-generation hardware and open-source models that will define AI scaling for the next decade.
The sharp sell-off in AI chip stocks after OpenAI’s IPO delay highlights the AI industry’s deep dependence on a handful of well-funded labs. With OpenAI pausing its public entry, the pace of infrastructure expansion for next-generation models could moderate, posing risks for both chipmakers and the AI research community. Yet the long-term demand story remains intact, even if the near-term funding pipeline looks choppier.
Large language model inference is pulling high-performance NAND into a new role in the memory hierarchy, moving from cost-driven commodity to capability-driven component. Sandisk, the top S&P 500 stock, is a prime beneficiary as AI cloud buyers prioritize performance over price.
