Shares of Nano-X Imaging (NNOX.US), US medical imagining technology company, are slumping 25% today, erasing a big part of last week's gain. Shares of the company rallied last week after Nvidia disclosed that it holds a stake in the company worth around $380 thousand.
Nvidia is among investors' favorites after its shares rallied over 200% in 2023 on the back of AI-hype. It has been quite common over the past year for companies, who signed a partnership agreement with Nvidia, to see their share prices rally as investors expect those to benefit from AI revolution as well. It looks like a similar approach is being taken to companies in which Nvidia is holding a stake. However, in case of Nano-X Imaging it could be evidence that investors in such hot markets as we have today are acting first and thinking later.

However, Zebra was acquired in 2021 by Nano-X Imaging in an all-stock merger, meaning that Nvidia received shares in Nano-X for its Zebra Medical shares.
Last week's disclosure from Nvidia was made via an 13F filling, which is a filling required by companies whose investment portfolio exceeds $100 million. Nvidia has likely surpassed this threshold last year, following IPO of Arm Holdings ($147 million Arm stake is the biggest in Nvidia's portfolio). Summing up, Nvidia most likely did not make any investment into Nano-X recently, and today's pullback on Nano-X stock like means that investors have realized it over the long US weekend.
