a ******** artificial intelligence startup.

Shares of the chipmaker, one of the primary beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence ***** in tech stocks, plummeted as much as 18%. That pushed Nvidia’s market value below $3 trillion. Still, shares of the firm are up more than 480% over the last two years.

The drop accounted for more than $520 billion in lost market value though. If shares of the tech giant close at this level, it would be the biggest market value drop in U.S. stock market history, according to Bloomberg. And it would be nearly double the second worst drop in history, also seen by Nvidia shareholders in September 2024, when the company shed $279 billion in value.

For some perspective, the amount of market value lost by Nvidia on Monday is more than the entire market value of Exxon Mobil, Costco, Home Depot or Bank of America.

and the most valuable company in the world: Apple. At its most recent peak, Nvidia reached a towering $3.7 trillion.

With Monday’s losses, Apple has retaken the title of world’s most valuable company and Nvidia’s value sank to around $2.8 trillion.

Nvidia’s drop also pulled the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower by more than 130 points. Nvidia joined the prestigious 30-stock index

, replacing rival chipmaker Intel. The Nasdaq Composite, which more closely tracks publicly traded tech companies, slid around 3%.

The global sell-off in tech stocks also meant the S&P Technology sector fell into the red for the year so far, the only sector lower over that time.
