Greggs share price interest overtakes Nvidia
Greggs has overtaken Nvidia as the most searched-for stock in the UK. According to Google Trends these stocks are breaking out with massive search interest which could suggest people are interested in buying them. We take a look at what shares UK investors are searching for information on and give our forecasts.
Nvidia is one of the companies that could be most affected by the emergence of DeepSeek, based on the premise that the Chinese AI was trained on previous generations of GPUs rather than the latest generation of Nvidia silicon.
Nvidia doesnβt make or operate AIs itself, rather it sells the picks and shovels to the AI βminersβ (mega cap technology firms) who have been queuing up to spend billions on the latest kit. The idea that you could achieve similar results using equipment thatβs far cheaper, and freely ,using far less power and other resources was a body blow to what had become a seemingly invincible business and one of the worldβs largest companies.
The shares have fallen significantly over the last month as investors try to reconcile themselves to this new world order. Some of DeepSeeks developerβs claims seem to have been debunked, but there is no doubt that the ground has shifted irrevocably under our feet.
