A Yahoo Finance article by Fatima Gulzar lists NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) among so-called "brain-computer interface" (BCI) stocks. Yahoo/Finance cites CNBC reporting that NVIDIA has underperformed in 2026, rising about 12% year-to-date versus the VanEck Semiconductor ETF's nearly 85% gain, and slipping roughly 3% over the past month, per CNBC (as reported by Yahoo Finance). CNBC, citing Ornn data, reported the B200 compute price peaked at $6.11 per hour on May 30 and fell to $4.22 by June 21, and noted Kalshi traders expect prices to remain below that peak through June. Separately, InvestorPlace and MarketWise coverage frames BCI investing as a supply-chain trade and lists small-cap suppliers; MarketWise and InvestorPlace also report high-profile BCI financing items, including a reported $252 million round led by OpenAI into Merge Labs and prior reports of Sam Altman committing $250 million to a brain-chip startup.
