Is the Nvidia Bubble Back?
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has placed Nvidia at the core of global markets, turning its chips into critical infrastructure for the AI economy. As a result, its valuation has become highly sensitive to any development that challenges the assumption that AI progress requires ever-increasing hardware demand.
That assumption was tested by recent breakthroughs from DeepSeek, which demonstrated that frontier-level AI performance could be achieved with far lower compute and memory requirements. Rather than destroying demand for AI hardware, these advances have introduced a more nuanced risk: pressure on margins, pricing power, and long-term dependence on high-end GPUs.
Markets reacted swiftly, with Nvidia suffering its largest single-day decline on record as investors reassessed future growth assumptions. However, history suggests that such efficiency shocks tend to lead to repricing rather than lasting panic. Training cutting-edge AI models still relies heavily on advanced hardware, but inference optimisation and geopolitical constraints are accelerating the development of alternatives, particularly in China.
