Why Nvidia Stock Is Trading Lower Today

NVIDIA Corp NVDA shares are trading lower Tuesday following weak guidance from Micron Technology Inc MU. 

Micron on Tuesday morning warned that its fourth-quarter revenue could come in at or below the low end of its previously provided guidance range.

Nvidia shares are also trading lower after several analysts cut price targets on the stock following the company's preliminary results, which showed that revenue is expected to be lower than previously forecasted. 

Nvidia said second-quarter revenue is now expected to total approximately $6.7 billion, citing weaker gaming revenue. The company previously guided for second-quarter revenue of $8.1 billion. Average analyst expectations are for second-quarter revenue of $8.38 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
