Nvidia has lost over $1 trillion in market value amid investigations into an espionage scandal involving CEO Jensen Huang. According to Axios, Anthropic targeted a $1.4 trillion IPO valuation, which is approximately $600 billion below previous investor expectations. These industry setbacks coincide with US midterm election results showing widespread opposition to data-center development, with 40 of 41 ballot measures favoring new restrictions.

Nvidia closed at $168.89 on November 10, 2026, as the broader semiconductor sector faced significant pressure. On the same day, AMD closed at $515.21, while TSM ended the session at $396.48 and INTC at $58.13. The downturn follows concerns over slowing revenue growth and soaring infrastructure costs that tempered Anthropic's valuation, alongside a shifting political landscape that may introduce hostile regulatory changes.
