Nvidia shares slumped more than 2% on Monday, putting the AI chip darling in correction territory.
The chipmaker and de facto artificial intelligence trade has rallied 165% this year amid ongoing excitement for the buzzy technology trend. However, shares have faced a sluggish stretch in recent month. The stock is down 5% in December and officially more than 10% off its record close.
Nvidia shares on Monday
The recent underperformance in Nvidia could signal some profit taking after another marquee year. At the same time, the market has continued powering to new highs.

As Nvidia struggles, other chipmaking stocks have fared well, with Broadcom powering to new highs. The stock surged around 8% during Monday’s session.
