While the demand is there, it's clear that's not the sole reason why Nvidia's RTX 50 series is impossible to find in stores. Many retailers received fairly low stock quantities, as Nvidia reportedly experienced manufacturing issues.

Nvidia crossed below its 200-day moving average this week for the first time since 2023. Analysts say the correction could deepen.

Nvidia shares' 9% recovery Tuesday was the second-best day in terms of market cap added for any company ever, trailing only a record it set in July.

Retail investors bought a net $562 million of Nvidia stock on Monday, the largest single-day inflow in at least 10 years, VandaTrack said.

When OpenAI released ChatGPT in 2022, companies started spending billions on GPUs to train AI models. Nvidia led the market for graphics processing units (GPUs), so it was the right company at the right time to deliver monster returns to investors.

Banríon Capital Management Founder and CEO Shana Orczyk Sissel said that any pullback in shares of Nvidia - like the one sparked this week by Chinese AI startup DeepSeek - is a buying opportunity for investors.
