Soundhound AI's (NASDAQ: SOUN) shares skyrocketed as much as 883% last year. However, the artificial intelligence (AI) stock is now down roughly 55% from its peak in late December. You can blame part of this decline on the Federal Reserve.

The good part to Nvidia's poor start to the year is investors have a window to buy this fast-growing company on the dip.

That said, the stock still looks like a hold instead of a buy. While DeepSeek won't immediately pop the generative AI bubble, it is a warning about vulnerability -- especially as top LLM developers like ChatGPT remain unprofitable. Nvidia's low valuation is attractive, but it makes sense, considering the industry's speculative and risky nature.
