New Export Rules Could Be Coming for AI Chipmakers' Sales
Key Takeaways
America’s chip export rules could get tougher. That hit some big tech stocks today.
The Trump administration is working on new rules that could require companies to obtain permission from the government for exports of “virtually all” of their AI accelerators, according to a Bloomberg report. The news weighed on a number of chip stocks during a down day for stocks broadly.
Shares of AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and other semiconductor firms slumped Thursday before paring back losses. Broadcom (AVGO) was a bright spot in the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX), logging a nearly 5% gain after a better-than-expected earnings report.
Why This Matters to Investors
The rules reported by Bloomberg would represent another setback for investors of American AI chipmakers such as Nvidia and AMD, who have been eager to see the companies sell more of their advanced chips to other countries.
Nvidia, AMD, and the Bureau of Industry and Security—which oversees semiconductor export controls—did not respond to_ Investopedia’s _requests for comment in time for publication.
The framework could further limit sales by chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD, the report said, as well as spur a flurry of new export licensing agreements like the ones President Donald Trump brokered with the two companies in recent months.

Nvidia and AMD last year won approvals from the Trump administration to export some of their more advanced chips to China in exchange for sharing a cut of their revenues. Still, those sales haven’t been easy to land: Nvidia executives said last week that the company has yet to generate any revenue from sales of its Trump-approved H200 chips to China.
Trump’s team hasn’t finalized the new rules and they could still be subject to change or shelved in favor of other priorities, according to the report.
