Investors have reacted negatively, leading to a 16% drop in Nvidia's shares. However, analysts like Dan Ives and Joshua Buchalter see this as a buying opportunity, arguing that DeepSeek's capabilities do not pose a significant threat to existing AI companies. JPMorgan analysts remind investors of an inevitable optimization phase in AI investments, similar to past technology investment cycles.
