The positive analyst sentiment and strategic initiatives underscore the companies' positions in their respective sectors.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized Nvidia Corp CEO Jensen Huang for declining an invitation to testify before the Senate Banking Committee, arguing that he should prioritize answering congressional questions over other engagements. The senator sought testimony on Nvidia's operations in China and the company's views on U.S. export controls governing advanced technology sales abroad. Warren's criticism follows a letter from Huang dated June 6, in which he stated he was "unable to attend" the hearing but expressed support for the committee's focus on AI and American competitiveness.

Warren Presses for Public Testimony

Warren had invited Huang to appear at a hearing titled "AI and the American Dream: Promoting Innovation, Affordability, and American Dominance." In a statement reported by CNBC, Warren emphasized that the American people deserve answers in a public forum. On X, Warren specifically targeted Huang's schedule, suggesting that if he had time to attend a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago and meet with President Xi in China, he should be able to find time to answer questions from Congress.

Nvidia Defends Stance and Invites Visit

In his response to the committee, Huang highlighted Nvidia's long-standing role in the U.S. AI ecosystem. While declining the hearing invitation, the Nvidia chief invited Warren and other committee members to visit the company's headquarters in Santa Clara, California. "I would welcome the opportunity to host you, or any member of the Committee, at NVIDIA's headquarters in Santa Clara to discuss our technology, the American AI ecosystem and how we can support U.S. leadership," Huang wrote in the letter.

China Revenue Declines Amid Record Growth

Nvidia has repeatedly warned that stringent export restrictions could undermine U.S. competitiveness and drive customers toward foreign alternatives. The company's May quarterly filing revealed that revenue from customers headquartered in China, including Hong Kong, fell to $4.55 billion in the first quarter from $9.66 billion a year earlier. Despite this decline of about 53%, the chipmaker reported record first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion, representing an 85% increase year over year.

Nvidia shares closed Monday up 1.73% at $208.64 and slipped 0.47% to $207.65 in after-hours trading.
