Tech shares climb after strong Nvidia results despite warning over rise of Chinese rivals

Technology shares climbed on Thursday, buoyed by strong results from Nvidia, despite the AI chip company's boss issuing a warning about the rise of Chinese rivals. The Stoxx Europe tech index rose by 0.8% on Thursday following Nvidia's financial report, with the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML rallying by 2.4%. In the US, futures for the tech-focused Nasdaq climbed 2%, and shares in Nvidia itself jumped 6% in pre-market trading. The boost to tech and artificial intelligence stocks came hours after Nvidia beat Wall Street forecasts, with quarterly revenues jumping 69% to $44bn (£32.6bn). The company also said it expected deals in the Middle East to start to fill a gap left by the loss of Chinese business. In April the US president, Donald Trump, said he was restricting AI chip exports to China, in effect barring Nvidia from selling its H20 AI chips to Chinese companies and blocking a major source of its revenue. Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang, warned that Chinese rivals were benefiting from the void left by US firms forced to abandon the market due to US trade restrictions. 'The Chinese competitors have evolved,' Huang told Bloomberg Television. He added that Huawei, which had been blacklisted by the US government, had become 'quite formidable'. 'Like everybody else, they are doubling, quadrupling capabilities every year,' Huang said. 'And the volume is increasing substantially.' While the US government policy is meant to keep AI technologies out of the hands of Chinese actors, Huang said local companies are simply finding other options. 'You cannot underestimate the importance of the China market,' Huang said. 'This is the home of the world's largest population of AI researchers.' Nvidia said it expects to miss out on $8bn in revenue in the second quarter as a result of Trump's trade restrictions. Tech investors were also optimistic after a US trade court ruled against Trump's sweeping tariffs regime, in a move that could ultimately block the president's sweeping trade levies. But there is further uncertainty ahead, with the White House having already filed an appeal against the decision, issued by judges from the New York-based court of international trade. Meanwhile, shares in Tesla, another leader in artificial intelligence technology, rose 2.6%, after the company's chief executive, Elon Musk, confirmed that he would formally leave his role in the Trump administration. Musk has been leading the 'department of government efficiency' (Doge) since January, which ruthlessly cut state spending across a number of public departments and agencies. He said in April he would be stepping back after seeing Tesla's earnings plunge and failing to win a supreme court race in which he spent millions of dollars supporting a Republican candidate.

Former head trader of Denver-based investing company pleads guilty to insider trading

DENVER (KDVR) — A Connecticut man pleaded guilty to an insider trading charge on Friday for actions he took while employed at Denver-based firm Irving Investors. Ryan Squillante, 40, of Weston, Connecticut, was employed as the head of equity trading at Irving Investors at the time of the offense, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut. While there, he received 'material non-public information' about some publicly traded companies. Australian hacker sentenced in May arrested by HSI Denver, faces deportation Prosecutors say that Squillante used MNPI on 15 different occasions between August 2022 and May 2023 for his own benefit, profiting about $220,912 from the transactions, according to the attorney's office. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut provided an example of one of the times Squillante reportedly received MNPI about a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company called Praxis Precision Medicines. Praxis is traded on the NASDAQ. The prosecutors said that between Feb. 27, 2023, and March 2, 2023, Squillante 'sold short' over 38,000 shares of Praxis for an average price per share of $3.04. On March 3, prosecutors say Squillante announced poor results of the company's drug trial before the market opened. Following that announcement, Squillante 'covered' the same number of shares at an average price of $1.82 per share, making a profit of about $46,421. Squillante pleaded guilty to securities fraud, which has a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years. He's scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 29. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
