Nvidia shares rose nearly 6% over the past week, even as the iShares Semiconductor ETF fell just over 8%. The divergence highlights Nvidia’s defensive qualities, with its 31 times trailing price-to-earnings ratio providing a valuation cushion compared to the ETF’s 40 times multiple. The company’s software moat, including CUDA lock-in, and upcoming Vera Rubin earnings growth support its resilience. However, a single hyperscaler signaling a capital expenditure freeze could shatter that immunity and trigger a panic-driven rotation away from AI stocks.
