The Trump administration has requested that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status. This request was made on Wednesday, following a suggestion by President Donald Trump.
What Happened: The inquiry was directed to Andrew De Mello, the IRS's acting chief counsel, by the Treasury Department. This move comes after Trump criticized Harvard on Truth Social, questioning its adherence to public interest criteria required for tax-exempt entities, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5252915-irs-asked-to-revoke-harvards-tax-exempt-status/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump wrote on his social network on Tuesday, &#8220;Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?'" 
Tax exemption is typically granted to non-profit and educational institutions that meet government standards, but they must refrain from political activities. The IRS holds the sole authority to review and revoke such statuses, traditionally without presidential influence.
The action is part of ongoing tensions between Harvard and the Republican administration, stemming from the university&#8217;s refusal to comply with certain federal funding conditions.&nbsp;Steve Rosenthal, a&nbsp;senior fellow at the Tax&nbsp;Policy Center, emphasized that the IRS should enforce tax laws impartially, not engage in political retribution.

Why It Matters: The Trump administration&#8217;s request to revoke Harvard&#8217;s tax-exempt status is the latest in a series of confrontations between the university and the federal government. 
Earlier this month, the administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44804541/trump-administration-halts-2-2-billion-in-harvard-grants-after-university-says-dont-dictate-what-we-can-teach-or-who-we-admit">halted $2.2 billion</a> in grants to Harvard after the university refused to comply with demands to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and to screen international students for ideological concerns. 
This refusal has put nearly $9 billion in federal funding at risk. The White House has issued similar threats to other prestigious institutions, including Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern, indicating a broader strategy to influence educational policies at major universities.
In related developments, Trump appointed Gary Shapley as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44829763/trump-to-reportedly-appoint-hunter-biden-whisteblower-gary-shapley-as-acting-irs-commissioner-hell-be-a-great-asset">acting IRS commissioner</a> on Tuesday, amid significant staff changes within the agency.

Trump Administration Asks IRS To Revoke Harvard's Tax-Exempt Status After President Accuses Ivy League University Of Pushing 'Sickness'

Dave Ramsey is a bestselling author who created the baby steps formula for getting out of debt. It's helped many people, including one person in the Dave Ramsey subreddit. A Redditor shared her experience of <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1jvo0f9/were_debt_free/">becoming debt-free</a> and paying off $37,900 in less than three years.
"My husband and I started our baby steps journey in November 2023," the 23-year-old wife explained.&nbsp;
Most of the debt was for student loans and vehicle loans. However, the couple paid off their obligations by following Ramsey's advice. The Redditor detailed how the couple got out of debt and their new goal after getting out of debt.

<li>The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Path To Becoming Debt-Free</h2>
Everyone has a different path to becoming debt-free, but all of those stories involve financial discipline. The couple practiced good money habits that helped them make significant progress with paying off their debt.&nbsp;
One of the key factors was the husband going from a $70,000 salary to making $120,000 per year as a contractor in the same profession. Striving to pay off debt as quickly as possible can inspire people to grow their careers faster. That seemed to be the case for the husband, and the wife took notice.
"He busted his butt enough for the past month that we were able to pay off the remaining $10,000 of our debt and it feels like we are set up so much better going forward," she explained.&nbsp;
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Couple's New Financial Goals&nbsp;</h2>
The young couple has good momentum after paying off significant debt, but they have two new financial goals. The couple's first goal is to pour money into their emergency fund until it reaches $36,000. The wife explained that they pay $6,000 per month in living expenses and want to save at least six months of living expenses.
She explained that her union is planning to strike in 2026, and they want to save extra money beforehand. The wife earns $90,000 per year. While a strike would impact her finances, the couple has put themselves in a better financial position. After getting to $36,000, the couple will make slower contributions to their emergency savings account until they reach $50,000.
The wife also said she is excited to pay off the mortgage early. They have a $590,000 balance, but it should get trimmed quicker in subsequent years. That's because the couple had been focusing on their $37,900 in other financial obligations. Now, that same money can be redirected toward the mortgage.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Couple Has A Bright Future</h2>
Some commenters pointed out that the couple has made a lot of progress while they are still young. Having financial discipline and getting out of debt at a young age establishes a high ceiling. The couple seems likely to maintain their good money habits, and that can help them pay off the entire mortgage sooner than anticipated.
The couple can continue to explore more career opportunities and grow their earnings since they are both in their early 20s. They are putting themselves in a good position to raise a large family if they desire. In the meantime, they are capitalizing on the lower overhead of having no kids by paying off a lot of debt.&nbsp;
The wife also said that they are putting more money into their 401(k) plans, which can set themselves up for a good retirement. It goes to show how much success people can achieve if they build some initial momentum and start practicing good financial habits.

President Donald Trump was named the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42450651/donald-trump-to-be-named-time-person-of-the-year-beating-out-harris-musk-middleton-netanyahu-report"> Time Person of the Year</a> in 2024 and is one of the 100 people named to the 2025 Time Most Influential People list.
Aside from Trump and political leaders like J.D. Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Javier Milei, the list also includes several CEOs of publicly traded U.S. companies.
Here's a look at that list.
What Happened: The Time 100 Most Influential list includes people across categories of artists, innovators, titans, leaders and pioneers and unlike the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/40760039/elon-musk-less-influential-to-artificial-intelligence-than-scarlett-johansson-time-magazine-">Time 100 AI list </a>from last year that left Elon Musk out, includes the world's richest man.
The 2025 <a href="https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2025/">list </a>includes 16 corporate CEOs, which is a record for the annual list from the newsmagazine.
Here are the CEOs of publicly traded U.S. companies and their categories:
<ul>
<li>Elon Musk (Leaders): CEO of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)</li>
<li>Lisa Su (Titans): CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)</li>
<li>Mark Zuckerberg (Titans): CEO of Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>
<li>Ted Sarandos (Titans): CEO of Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)</li>

<li>Ed Bastian (Titans): CEO of Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>)</li>

<li>Larry Fink (Innovators): CEO of BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>)</li>
</ul>
The list also included Tomáš Cihlář, who is a vice president at Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>), for his work on HIV drugs.

Why It's Important: While many readers will know the names like Ed Sheeran, Scarlett Johansson, Demi Moore, Jalen Hurts, Simon Biles, Serena Williams and Snoop Dogg, the list of most influential offers a look at some of the top CEOs who have transformed their companies or led the companies through times of uncertainty.
"What he's built over the past 25 years is astonishing — a house of creativity that is constantly heading into the future," producer and writer Shonda Rhimes wrote of Sarandos. "Ted's genuine love of television and movies has helped him turn Netflix, and the streaming industry as a whole, into something that none of us can live without."
Musk's increased role in politics, including the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led to his inclusion in the "leaders" category.
Time Magazine senior correspondent Simon Shuster wrote the description for Musk, highlighting past conquests from the billionaire like electric cars at Tesla, taking over Twitter and pushing into space with SpaceX.
"After spending nearly $290 million in 2024 to help elect Donald Trump and other Republican candidates, Musk has applied this same energy to the task of dismantling the federal bureaucracy," Shuster wrote.
While many Tesla and Musk fans were upset the billionaire was not included in the Time 100 AI List last year, Musk shared his best response to how he feels about accolades like making a top 100 list.
"Magazines do not establish relevance, history does," Musk said.

$100 Invested In Wells Fargo 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Dave Ramsey is known for helping people dig their way out of debt, one snowball at a time. He's blunt, he's bold, and that's exactly what people tune in for.
So when someone wrote in to ask if his famous strategy could work on a national level — specifically, if it could tackle the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44484869/its-not-like-they-can-repo-kentucky-dave-ramsey-breaks-down-the-36-trillion-national-debt-in-simple-terms-after-caller-asks-why-pay-it">government's $36 trillion in debt</a> — he didn't shy away.
The question came during an <a href="https://youtu.be/fS7-l8TEx-Y?si=uJ-JE3zxylShAqAB">episode of "The Dave Ramsey Show</a>" posted last week, where Ramsey and his daughter, Rachel Cruze, read a letter from Steve in Indiana. He had a simple, loaded question: Would Ramsey's debt snowball plan help the country climb out of its massive financial hole?
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Just for good measure, Steve threw in, "I wish Trump had you on the DOGE team."
Ramsey laughed, saying he doesn't exactly blend in with the D.C. crowd. He explained that while he's friendly with a few state governors, he doesn't really "fit in" anywhere in Washington. That said, he still had plenty to say about what he'd do if he were running the show.
And yes, he actually does believe some of the same debt-free principles could apply to the federal government.
"The principle of being debt-free still stands," Ramsey said. "And the principle of living on less than you make still stands."
But it wasn't just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42746966/debt-and-broke-are-the-norm-says-dave-ramsey-explains-why-normal-isnt-working-for-most-americans-and-how-to-take-control-of-your-money">basic budgeting advice</a>. Ramsey dove into the economics behind what he sees as a better way to generate revenue.
"To a certain degree, as you lower taxes, the economy heats up," he said. "Because the people that are making money are putting money back into their businesses, and they make yet more money — and they pay yet more taxes, even though the rate is lower."
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
That, he said, leads to the ultimate twist.
"If you lower taxes, it heats up the economy and you end up collecting more revenue," Ramsey explained. "Oddly enough, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44295365/trump-wants-no-tax-for-americans-making-less-than-150000-a-year-says-howard-lutnick-thats-what-im-working-for">lowering taxes does work</a>. It seems oxymoronic."
He pointed to the Clinton-era budget as a rare example of balance in Washington, noting that the tax code at the time still reflected policies from the Reagan administration. The connection? The Laffer Curve, which is the theory that lower taxes can actually increase government revenue. Ramsey said it's been misunderstood or dismissed by critics, but in his view, the data holds up.
Of course, more income is only half the fix. The other half, Ramsey said, is cutting spending — and cutting deep.
"You cut the snot out of the expenses," he said. "If you could ever get it right-side up, where there's more income than outgo… then could you start to pay off the debt? Absolutely you could."

Ramsey praised the Trump administration for taking a bold stance on federal spending, saying it's the first time in his life he's seen a president willing to slash the budget <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44726176/dave-ramsey-reveals-one-trait-among-successful-financial-transformations-few-people-have-the-courage-to-seek-out-change">without worrying about political fallout</a>. He compared it to personal finance — when people finally get serious about change, they stop caring about what others think. "You don't care what your broke brother-in-law thinks about your car," he said.&nbsp;
When it comes to managing debt, Ramsey's got the track record and the advice. Whether it scales to $36 trillion? That's above his pay grade.

Gold has long been a cornerstone of personal finance strategies, prized for its role as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Investors have two primary avenues to gain exposure to gold: purchasing physical gold or investing in gold exchange-traded funds. 
Each approach offers unique advantages and drawbacks, making the right choice dependent on financial goals, risk tolerance and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44836846/wall-streets-mood-turns-bleak-as-global-recession-fears-mount-fund-managers-slash-us-exposure">investment horizon.</a>
Physical Gold: Physical gold refers to tangible assets, such as gold bars, coins and jewelry. An investment in physical gold is appealing to some investors as it is independent of banks or financial institutions with no digital records or intermediaries involved. Gold's intrinsic value and historical role as a store of wealth also make it appealing for generational wealth transfer.&nbsp;

"Amidst the recent stock market turbulence, we're seeing renewed interest in tangible, physical assets that exist outside traditional financial structures," Tim Schmidt, the founder of Gold IRA Custodians,<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/is-this-a-good-time-to-buy-gold-experts-weigh-in.html"> told </a>CNBC.&nbsp;
However, the costs of secure storage and insurance can be high and the market for physical gold can be relatively illiquid with transactions sometimes incurring delays before a buyer or seller can be found. Also, physical gold does not generate interest or dividends so returns can only be realized when the gold is sold.&nbsp;
Gold ETFs: Investing in a gold-focused <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44836076/gold-fund-inflows-smash-record-with-80-billion-in-2025-these-etfs-are-riding-the-3300-surge">exchange-traded fund </a>can provide investors with exposure to gold's price movements without the need to own or store the metal directly.&nbsp;
"For most [investors], I would say a gold bullion-backed ETF makes the most sense," Sameer Samana, head of global equities and real assets at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, told CNBC.
Both the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) and iShares Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAU#NYSE">IAU</a>), are backed by physical gold bullion held in secure vaults, and each share represents a specific amount of gold. 
Investors can also find exposure to gold through the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>), tracking the performance of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) which focuses on smaller, early-stage gold miners, offering higher growth potential but increased volatility.

"Webull's deep ties to China have potentially severe national security implications and must be investigated by the SEC,&#8221; Sen.&nbsp;Tommy Tuberville&nbsp;(R-Ala.) reportedly said, according to Gasparino&#8217;s social media post.
The post indicates lawmakers are &#8220;aggressively&#8221; calling on the SEC to investigate the company.
Webull was founded in 2016 by former&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;and Xiaomi manager Wang Anquan, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/14/webull-stock-soars-in-second-trading-day-after-completing-spac-merger.html">CNBC</a>. Anquan reportedly remains the company's global CEO.
Webull went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger with SK Growth Opportunities on Monday. The stock surged out of the gates and has been extremely volatile since.
The company announced the closing of its business combination with SK Growth Opportunities on Wednesday. Webull also rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq.
&#8220;This next step in our company&#8217;s journey will position us to serve the growing number of experienced, digitally savvy retail investors who demand a more sophisticated retail trading partner that can grow with and serve them over decades,&#8221; said Anthony Denier, group president and U.S. CEO of Webull.
&#8220;Webull&#8217;s advanced trading and investment offerings make us the partner of choice for the next generation of retail investors looking to capitalize on the dynamic world of trading and investment.&#8221;
The news comes as trade tensions continue to rise between the U.S. and China. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-15/chinese-stocks-trading-in-the-us-face-an-old-foe-delisting?embedded-checkout=true">reported</a> this week that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said all options are &#8220;on the table&#8221; when asked about potential delistings of Chinese stocks amid trade negotiations.
Chinese broker Futu Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FUTU#NASDAQ">FUTU</a>) fell nearly 4% on Wednesday and was continuing to move lower in after-hours trading at last check. Other U.S.-listed Chinese stocks have been trending lower in recent sessions as the U.S.-China trade war continues to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">escalate</a>. The IShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) closed Wednesday down 2.29% at $32.42, and the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) closed down more than 3% at $30.17.
Webull shares were bouncing back in after-hours trading at the time of writing, up 5.96% at $38.38, according to <a href="http://benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

The 94-year-old investing legend has added a jaw-dropping $23 billion to his Fortune this year alone, boosting his net worth to $165 billion, according to the <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/warren-e-buffett/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Bloomberg Billionaires Index</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investors Are Clinging to Buffett Like a Lifeboat</h2>
At a time when markets are swinging wildly and Big Tech is taking some heat, investors are turning to Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) like he&#8217;s a financial North Star. Lountzis Asset Management President Paul Lountzis told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stock-market-cash-geico-abel-2025-3">Business Insider</a>, &#8220;Berkshire is a stable, solid ship in a sea of uncertainty right now."

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
That stability isn&#8217;t just hype. At the end of 2024, <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/2024ar/2024ar.pdf">Berkshire had $334.2 billion in cash</a>. The company also holds more than $272 billion in equities — including giants like Apple, Coca-Cola, and American Express.
Buffett has been running the show for 60 years. What started as a failing textile company is now <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/berkshire-hathaway/marketcap">a $1 trillion empire</a>. The company now has holdings that span everything from See&#8217;s Candies to BNSF Railway to Precision Castparts.&nbsp;
Berkshire&#8217;s stock has climbed over 5.5 million percent under his leadership — compared to the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s modest 39,000% in the same timeframe, reported by<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-stock-market-cash-geico-abel-2025-3"> Business Insider</a>. That&#8217;s a 20% annualized return for six decades.
One of the recent engines of growth is none other than geico, Berkshire&#8217;s auto insurance arm. After years of lackluster performance, geico roared back in 2024 with a pre-tax underwriting profit of $7.81 billion according to <a href="https://coverager.com/geico-ends-2024-with-7-8-billion-profit/">Coverager</a> — a 114.9% spike.

In his<a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf"> annual shareholder letter</a> to Berkshire investors, Buffett called geico &#8220;a long-held gem that needed major repolishing&#8221; and praised its turnaround as &#8220;spectacular.&#8221;
That boost helped Berkshire&#8217;s operating earnings soar 71% year-over-year to a record $14.53 billion in the <a href="https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/news/feb2225.pdf">latest quarter</a>, outpacing even the so-called Magnificent 7 tech giants. ​As of the end of 2024, Geico's workforce had been trimmed to 28,247 employees, marking a decrease of more than 10,000 people since 2021.
Buffett&#8217;s strategy has always shone brightest during downturns.

Today, Berkshire&#8217;s $334 billion cash cushion gives Buffett — or, more accurately, his successor — room to repeat that playbook.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Eaton Corp 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A fresh round of U.S. export restrictions on China&#8217;s AI capabilities has caught NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) off guard, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs with high exposure to the chip giant</a> are feeling the pain (or gain, in some cases). While Nvidia plummeted 6.87% by market close Wednesday, some semiconductor-themed ETFs moved sharply.
The unexpected regulatory shock, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44845141/nvidia-drags-wall-street-down-gold-defies-gravity-ahead-of-powell-remarks-whats-driving-ma">preventing Nvidia from sending its high-margin H20 AI chips to China</a>, has triggered a broader selloff in the tech-heavy sector, rekindling arguments on geopolitical risk, earnings visibility, and the role of ETFs in escalating such shocks.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) MI308 chips also come under the new licensing regime and fell 6%, adding to the broader pressure across chipmakers.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Reaction: Bloodbath For Some, Jackpot For Others</h1>
The ripple effects were most apparent in semiconductor and Nvidia-focused ETFs, many of which took deep intraday losses — while inverse products registered explosive gains.
GraniteShares 2x Short NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVD#NASDAQ">NVD</a>) skyrocketed more than 13% on Wednesday, with short selling in Nvidia paying off during the rout. The fund, providing 2x inverse daily leverage on Nvidia&#8217;s stock, has been a most significant volatility trade during earnings and regulatory events.
Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOC#NYSE">SHOC</a>) fell over 4%. SHOC, with its heavy weighting in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">fabless semiconductor companies</a> such as Nvidia (23% <a href="https://www.strivefunds.com/shoc">weightage</a>) and AMD (4.74% weightage), is especially susceptible to revenue shock from export policy shifts.
VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMHX#NASDAQ">SMHX</a>) fell more than 3%, following the general market jitters. Nvidia is one of the key holdings in SMHX, with the biggest weightage of <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/fabless-semiconductor-etf-smhx/holdings/">21.4%</a>, making it extremely sensitive to any slowdown in AI chip sales.
These movements represent how closely ETFs have become tied to a few megacap tech narratives — rendering them both effective and vulnerable vehicles for sector bets.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened?</h1>
Markets soured on Wednesday following the U.S. government&#8217;s decision to tighten <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">AI chip exports to China</a> and arms-embargoed countries. Nvidia, whose H20 chips were specifically designed to meet prior export controls, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001045810/000104581025000082/nvda-20250409.htm">announced </a>that it will incur a $5.5 billion charge for excess inventory, purchase commitments, and reserves — essentially discounting the failure of its China-facing H20 strategy.
Crafted specifically to meet previous export regulations under the Biden administration, the H20 chip was made China-sale-specific and had enabled Nvidia to keep a firm grip on the market despite continued tensions. In 2024 alone, the chips were estimated to have brought in $12 billion to $15 billion in revenue.
The new measures now make the old playbook dated. AMD also conceded the blow in a Wednesday <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000002488/000000248825000039/amd-20250415.htm">report</a>, cautioning that restrictions on its MI308 chips could generate an $800 million revenue blow.
The new regulations — universally regarded as a crackdown on loopholes — will likely impact Nvidia&#8217;s fiscal 2026 revenue by 6%–10%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44844084/nvidias-h20-chip-ban-could-lead-to-manageable-sales-drop-bank-of-america-says">Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya estimated</a>. While Arya labeled the risks &#8220;manageable&#8221; and reaffirmed a Buy rating with a $160 price target, the market reaction was swift and severe.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Next For Nvidia-Focused Funds?</h1>
In spite of the carnage on the day, some analysts are of the view that the sell-off can provide a tactical entry. Bank of America&#8217;s Arya noted Nvidia is currently trading at about 20 times estimated 2025 earnings — less than its historical valuation range of 23x–25x — and that its future GB300 Blackwell Ultra chips have the potential to re-spark the growth story by the second half of 2025.
Yet, near-term volatility is unlikely to fade, especially with geopolitics now a key driver of chipmaker valuations.
ETF investors, meanwhile, face a tough balancing act: whether to double down on U.S. AI chip dominance or hedge against further policy shocks that could derail near-term earnings.
One thing is clear — Nvidia's dominance may still be intact, but its ETF exposure just made a lot more complicated.
