>> There are highly profitable companies that nevertheless see their stock price turn around.
This happened with a local sports drink maker. It was branded for kids, more healthy, less sugar then Gatorade and energy drinks. Company took off, went public, stock went through the roof for about two years.
Blue skies, everything coming up roses, lots of articles in the local business mags and websites.
Then their supply chain dried up - a precursor to the pandemic and the founder even said in a startup presentation they were the canary in the coal mine and one of the first businesses in the state to suddenly have their product, packaging, and materials all just evaporate in a matter of weeks. Suddenly they couldn't get product into stores, stores eventually pulled their placement and within three months they were bleeding money horrendously while scrambling to find replacements. Something they were already working on, but soon enough every supplier they'd call had the same answer, they too had no means to ship stuff out and they too were dead in the water.
Then two months later the pandemic hit in full force and it was the death knell for the company. Delisted, and bankrupted, they closed up shop about 3 years after being a "can't lose" stock and company.
My family have all invested heavily in Nvidia and they're making good gains now, but I'm seeing the same thing you are - this can go bust very fast if Nvidia doesn't manage this really well.
