Nvidia, Supermicro Surge as Chip and AI Stocks Rebound From Tariff Rout

Shares of Nvidia ( NVDA ) surged Monday afternoon as semiconductor and artificial intelligence stocks attempted to rebound from a tariff-fueled selloff.
Nvidia’s stock price was up nearly 4% in recent trading, leading gains on the Dow Jones Industrial Average . Broadcom ( AVGO ), Micron Technology ( MU ), Lam Research ( LRCX ), Applied Materials ( AMAT ), and other semiconductor stocks also rose, boosting the PHLX Semiconductor Index ( SOX ) up about 3%.
"We are not sure where Nvidia (or anything else) will bottom in the near term," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon wrote in a note to clients Monday. "But we do believe the AI narrative is still real. And once things do settle down (hopefully soon!) the stock at these levels is probably worth a look."
Shares of server maker and Nvidia partner Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) were up over 10%, leading gains on the S&P 500. Nvidia partner Rigetti Computing ( RGTI ) saw its shares jump over 11% after it was chosen along with IonQ ( IONQ ) and quantum computing companies to participate in a Department of Defense program. Other AI investor favorites, including Palantir ( PLTR ), were higher as well.
The major indexes whipsawed between gains and losses in a volatile session following unconfirmed reports—which the White House denied—that the Trump administration could delay its tariffs. (Read Investopedia's live coverage of today's market action here .)
