Western Digital, Micron, Nvidia Fall On Chip Glut Amid Recession Fears :

Shares in flash memory chipmaker Western Digital (WDC) tumbled on Thursday after Goldman Sachs downgraded the company to sell, dragging down Micron Technology (MU) as well. And while shares in MU and WDC stock fell, graphics chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) also dropped on oversupply concerns and a low rating for NVDA stock.

Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari in a report said "multiple sources" told him that flash memory chip suppliers are offering below cash-cost prices in an attempt to work down inventories amid "a weak macroeconomic backdrop."

Meanwhile, HSBC analyst Frank Lee initiated coverage of with NVDA stock a "reduce" rating. He cited expectations for a near-term chip inventory correction and demand uncertainty.

Nvidia makes chips for high-performance computer servers in data centers as well as automobiles.

    To see if the last minute Christmas shoppers buy a bunch and turn the stock around.

      Didn't we all end up ponying up for the 3000 series last year in disgust and desperation? Not going to want to repeat that anytime soon, that's for sure. Besides, if I was buying now I'd seriously be considering Team Red instead.

      We are currently in active warring phase, that be a routine remedy to oversupply.

    So what does nVidea have to do with flash memory? Just a random reference?

    Maybe some price cuts on some 1TB SSD’s? Maybe some 4000, or even 3000, series GPU’s for MSRP or below MSRP (yeah right)?

    What is the point of selling flash chips for less than it cost to make them, just to “offload” them? Was the chip shortage basically a TSMC issue?
