    Midterm-driven sell-off hits NVIDIA and AMD

    Question

    Midterm-driven sell-off hits NVIDIA and AMD

    Direct answer

    Higher regulatory risk reduces the multiple on NVDA and AMD by compressing AI capex growth assumptions and widening the discount rate investors apply to data-center earnings. — bearish pressure on NVDA via regulatory multiple compression on AI data-center revenue.

    Thesis

    Higher regulatory risk reduces the multiple on NVDA and AMD by compressing AI capex growth assumptions and widening the discount rate investors apply to data-center earnings. — bearish pressure on SMH via semiconductor index de-rating from AI oversight risk.

    SMH is an inferred semiconductor basket exposed to NVDA and AMD-style weakness.
