Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Highlights 'No-Win' Situation Amid AI Bubble Concerns

On November 21, 2025 (EST), Fortune reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told employees in a leaked internal meeting the company faces a ‘no-win situation’ amid growing AI bubble concerns [1]. Key comments:

• Strong results fuel bubble fears; any miss would confirm a bubble
• NVDA posted record earnings and has visibility into
  $500 billion
  in revenue for 2025-2026
• Market expectations are so extreme that even a minor shortfall would be seen as a ‘broken story’

The comments followed a post-earnings stock reversal, reflecting investor anxiety over AI infrastructure spending sustainability and macro uncertainty [1].

  343 million shares
  on both days—well above the 189 million average—indicating heightened investor activity [0].
• Sector Underperformance
