Nvidia shares fell 4.27% on Monday, even as the Nasdaq and semiconductor stocks rose, Invezz reports. The article says the drop put CNBC’s Jim Cramer on the spot about his long-running “own it, don’t trade it” advice.

Cramer said he was considering what a “Jensen-less Nvidia” might look like, while still describing the company as attractive. Invezz also points to financing concerns among smaller data-centre operators, which may struggle to fund the facilities needed to house Nvidia’s chips. Nvidia’s next earnings report, due on 17 November, will offer a fresh test of demand from major cloud customers. A market wobble is not a verdict, but the customer-financing question is more than a bad day on the ticker.

Discuss: If demand for AI computing stays strong, should Nvidia investors worry more about leadership uncertainty or whether data-centre customers can finance the build-out?
