Nvidia and AMD Stocks Face Fresh Risk as Democrats Oppose Trump's China Chip Deal
Top Senate Democrats are urging President Trump to rethink his plan that allows artificial intelligence chip sales to China. In an open letter, they warned that the deal could contradict U.S. national security goals. The policy gives chip makers Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) the right to sell advanced AI chips to China if they share 15% of sales revenue with the U.S. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The Senators said that any move which gives China more access to high-grade chips could strengthen its AI sector. They pointed out that such an outcome could hurt U.S. defense and tech goals. Therefore, they urged Trump to pause and weigh the risks before moving forward. The letter reflects rising concern in Washington about the role of AI chips in both global trade and military use. What It Could Mean for the Companies and Investors For investors, the core issue is whether this letter leads to a policy shift. If Trump does not change course, the deal stands, and both Nvidia and AMD keep access to China, the largest global chip market. However, if Trump rethinks the move and imposes new curbs, the financial hit could be sharp. Nvidia earns most of its revenue from selling chips designed for data centers, particularly those used in AI. China has been a major market for these products, accounting for nearly a quarter of Nvidia's revenue even after earlier trade restrictions. If new rules cut off those sales, the company could lose billions in annual revenue. Such a setback could weigh heavily on Nvidia's growth outlook and its share price. As for AMD, it has a smaller share of the AI chip space, but its plans depend on growth in this market. If it loses China sales, the company may fall short of its targets for data center gains. In turn, this could slow its race with Nvidia and limit returns for investors who are betting on strong AI growth. As a result, the open letter marks a sign of ongoing tension that could hit chip makers in real ways. While the outcome of the policy fight is not set, the risk for both Nvidia and AMD is that a large source of demand may shrink at a time when growth in AI is key to their value story. By using TipRanks' Comparison Tool, we've compared Nvidia and AMD to gain a broader look at both companies' financials and overall sentiment.

AAPL LOSS ALERT: Apple Inc. Investors with Losses are Reminded of the August 19 Class Action Deadline – Contact BFA Law (NASDAQ:AAPL)
NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Apple, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until August 19, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Apple securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., et al. , No. 5:25-cv-05197. Why was Apple Sued for Securities Fraud? Apple is a multinational technology company that engages primarily in the businesses of smart-devices and artificial intelligence ('AI'). Apple's software includes a digital personal assistant called 'Siri,' which was first introduced in October 2011. The complaint alleges that Apple misrepresented Siri's advanced AI-based features as well as its ability to deliver them within the iPhone 16 product cycle. In truth, as alleged, Apple lacked a functional prototype of Siri's purported advanced AI-based features and misrepresented the time it would take to integrate such features into its devices. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying several AI-based Siri features, citing development delays and pushing their release to sometime 'in the coming year.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $11.59 per share, or almost 5%, from $239.07 per share on March 7, 2025, to $227.48 per share on March 10, 2025, the following trading day. Then, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference for 2025. Noticeably, Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features. Analysts and media outlets described the WWDC as 'underwhelming' and 'disappointing,' with CNN stating that 'it's unlikely that any of the announcements made at Monday's event will change the perception that Apple is behind its competitors in AI.' On this news, the price of Apple stock declined $2.47 per share, or over 1%, from $203.92 on June 6, 2025, to $201.45 per share on June 9, 2025, the following trading day.

LINE LOSS ALERT: Lineage, Inc. Investors with Losses are Reminded of the September 30 Class Action Deadline – Contact BFA Law (NASDAQ:LINE)
NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) and certain of the Company's senior executives and directors for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Lineage, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: Investors have until September 30, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 on behalf of investors who purchased stock pursuant and/or traceable to Lineage's registration statement for its initial public offering held on or about July 25, 2024. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and is captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., et al. , No. 2:25-cv-12383. Why Was Lineage Sued Under the Federal Securities Laws? Lineage is a cold storage focused real estate investment trust ('REIT'). Through its Global Warehousing Segment, Lineage owns and operates hundreds of temperature-controlled storage facilities used by companies to store food and other perishable products. As alleged, Lineage's IPO documents touted its 'consistent cold chain demand,' which purportedly provided Lineage 'with strong cash flows even during periods of broader economic stress.' The IPO documents also represented that the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic had 'accelerated trends that . . . have the potential to be growth engines for the industry in coming years.' In truth, Lineage was allegedly in the midst of a sustained downturn, as its customers destocked excess inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and also shifted to leaner inventories on a go-forward basis and as more cold-storage supply came on line. Events Following the IPO On February 26, 2025, Lineage announced its fiscal Q4 2024 financial results, revealing that customers had been 'unwinding' previously 'overbuil[t]' levels of inventory, returning to a 'more normal seasonal pattern' that was expected to 'continue moving forward.' Lineage conducted its IPO at $78 per share. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen dramatically, to lows near $40 per share—approximately half the IPO price.
