Caught in the tech sector selling spree — triggered by rate hike concerns and the latest batch of dismal earnings reports from tech players — Nvidia has plunged 33.8% over the past three months.

The stock is underperforming the industry’s average loss of 15.1%. This trend might reverse if the chipmaker comes up with an earnings beat in its Q1 report (read: 5 Beaten-Down ETFs to Buy at Attractive Prices).
