Yet, a support zone alone isn’t enough; rebounds are more likely when fundamentals, sentiment, and market conditions line up. How does that look for NVDA?
Rebound likely, AI demand, and strong financials.
NVIDIA’s Q1 FY27 revenue of $81.6B beat estimates, with data center segment revenue surging 92% year-over-year. Strong Q2 guidance of $91B underscores sustained AI infrastructure demand, including new Vera Rubin and RTX Spark platforms. An $80B share repurchase and increased dividend reflect capital return confidence. Despite Blackwell’s supply constraints, analyst targets average over $300, supported by accelerating hyperscale and sovereign AI investments.

And What If The Support Breaks?
NVIDIA hasn’t been immune to big drops either. It fell 68% during the Dot-Com crash and took an 85% hit in the Global Financial Crisis – that’s a serious plunge. The 2018 pullback saw a 56% dip, while the inflation shock knocked it down 66%. Even the Covid sell-off dragged it down about 38%. The takeaway? No matter how strong the story, the stock can still get crushed when markets turn sour.
But the risk is not limited to major market crashes. Stocks fall even when markets are in good shape – think events like earnings, business updates, and outlook changes. Read NVDA Dip Buyer Analyses to see how the stock has recovered from sharp dips in the past.
