Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire?\u00a0Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an “Indispensable Monopoly” providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n Now new reports are filtering out — and according to these, despite receiving permission to sell, no actual sales of H200 chips were made. Nvidia stock dropped 4% through 10:05 a.m. ET on the news.<\/p>\n WSJ broke the story this morning, quoting President Trump saying that the Chinese companies did not buy Nvidia’s chips “because they chose not to. They want to try and develop their own.” What’s more — and perhaps more to the point — Chinese authorities are reported to have not “authorized” the companies to buy Nvidia’s chips.<\/p>\n Granted, this may just be posturing on China’s part. Authorization may still be granted, and sales may emerge in days to come. Still, it doesn’t sound particularly propitious for Nvidia today, which is why the stock’s down a bit.<\/p>\n What’s next for Nvidia <\/p>\n And yet, I’d argue the lack of sales over a few-day timespan is more of a hiccup for Nvidia than even a speedbump — and far from a disaster. When you recall all the stories we’ve seen about Chinese companies going to great lengths to get access to Nvidia chips — up to and including smuggling servers from Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) to get access to their Nvidia chips — I’d say the demand is clearly there.<\/p>\n The real question is whether China will allow its companies to slake their thirst for Nvidia chips, or insist they buy domestic to boost Chinese industry. Either way, I suspect Nvidia will do just fine.<\/p>\n Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now? <\/p>\n Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/a> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Nvidia wasn\u2019t one of them.
