S&P 500 Ends Lower as Dell and Nvidia Drop | Honolulu Star-Advertiser

Investor concerns about high production costs and geopolitical risks caused shares of Dell and Nvidia to fall, despite strong AI-driven revenue growth and a $20 billion AI server order forecast.

  • The S&P 500 ended lower on August 29, 2025, led by declines in Dell, Nvidia, and other AI-related stocks amid a tech sector sell-off.
  • The sell-off followed strong AI-driven demand and earnings but was spurred by concerns over high manufacturing costs, intensifying competition, and geopolitical uncertainties.
  • Meanwhile, broader market indexes still posted monthly gains in August, with the S&P 500 up 1.9%, the Dow up 3.2%, and the Nasdaq up 1.6%, helped by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
  • Key data include Dell's raised annual revenue forecast to $109 billion, Nvidia's 3.4% stock dip after confirming strong but China-excluded sales, and Alibaba's 13% stock surge following AI-driven cloud growth and its new AI chip announcement.
  • The events reflect growing AI market maturity with strong infrastructure spending, evolving regulation, and geopolitical factors prompting investor caution despite ongoing optimistic forecasts.
