On Jan. 27 , Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) fell 17% , erasing over $590 billion from its market cap.

It marked the greatest single-day market-cap destruction for a company in U.S. stock market history.

Despite massive drawdowns in Nvidia , Broadcom , Taiwan Semiconductor , and other chip stocks, Monday 's sell-off was fairly isolated.

Stock Advisor’s total average return is 903% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 176% for the S&P 500.

The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet , Amazon , Apple , Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase , Meta Platforms , Microsoft , Nvidia , Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing , Tesla , and Walmart .
