Retail investors purchased a net $111 million of Nvidia shares in the first 30 minutes of trading on Thursday, according to Vanda Research. This represented the largest first-half-hour retail flow into the stock that Vanda Research had ever recorded. The shares were down 5% on Thursday afternoon following CEO Jensen Huang's resignation. For the week, Nvidia's market value declined by $550 billion.

The selling pressure on Nvidia shares was initially driven by questions about Huang's relationship with a woman alleged to be a spy for Beijing. However, retail investors bought the dip, a strategy favored by investors since 2009. At Fidelity Investments, customers placed 394,818 buy orders for Nvidia by noon ET, compared with 80,088 sell orders. These buy orders for Nvidia more than doubled the combined buy orders on Thursday for the nine other most-traded stocks on the platform.

Disagreement on share price drop

Berlingske.dk and BT reported that Nvidia shares fell 4.3 percent on the New York Stock Exchange on the day CEO Jensen Huang resigned. The Times of India and Channel News Asia reported the shares were off 5% on Thursday afternoon following Huang's resignation.

What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated reports mentioned the $111 million net buy of Nvidia shares by retail investors in the first 30 minutes of Thursday's session, a record amount according to Vanda Research. The left-rated reports also did not mention the specific figures for buy and sell orders at Fidelity Investments, nor the 60% negative comments about Nvidia on Reddit's wallstreetbets forum.

  • The centre-rated reports from Channel News Asia and WTVB led with the fact that retail investors bought the Nvidia dip in a significant way, suggesting the AI trade remained active despite CEO Jensen Huang's departure. Both reports highlighted that Nvidia shares were down 5% on Thursday afternoon following Huang's resignation. They noted the company's market value decline for the week was $550 billion and detailed the high volume of buy orders compared to sell orders at Fidelity Investments.
