From the speaker
- Nvidia dropped 6%
- 20% over the last month
Our interpretation
- Use NVDA's regular-session closing price on August 5, 2024, compared with the previous trading close on August 2.
- Read 'the last month' as July 5 through August 5, 2024.
- Treat the whole-number percentages as rounded to the nearest percentage point.
- This concerns stock-price performance. It does not specify a company accounting metric, so metric_scope is null.
Counts as supported if: The daily closing-price decline rounds to 6%, and the July 5–August 5 closing-price decline rounds to 20%.
Counts as contradicted if: One or both closing-price declines do not round to the stated percentage. If only one component holds, propose mixed.
Retrospective: these criteria were written after the outcome was public.
Current assessment
Was it true for the period described?
Outcome: Supported
The dated evidence matches what the claim committed to, under the criteria frozen before grading.
Scored on a plain reading. The speaker named no measure for this claim, so it was judged on the reading an informed reader would take, stated below under our interpretation. Both reviews had to find that reading fair.

- 2026-10-28.7
Rationale
The closing-price declines were 6.36% for August 5 and 20.17% from July 5 through August 5. Both match Marcus's figures when rounded to whole percentages.
Limitations
- The result depends on reading the figures as rounded closing-price changes.
- The price history was read from a current historical-data page, not an archived August 2024 page. The availability date refers to when the closing observations became public.
Evidence (1 item)
Supports the claim: Yahoo Finance,
Aug 5, 2024 92.06 103.41 90.69 100.45 100.17 552,842,400
Why it matters here: The table's Close column gives $125.83 on July 5, $107.27 on August 2 and $100.45 on August 5. These produce declines of 20.17% over the month and 6.36% for the day; the separate Adj Close column is not used.

- Daily return = 100 × (100.45 / 107.27 − 1) = −6.3577887573%; monthly return = 100 × (100.45 / 125.83 − 1) = −20.1700707304%. (inputs: July 5, 2024 Close: USD 125.83; August 2, 2024 Close: USD 107.27; August 5, 2024 Close: USD 100.45; Two decimal places for reporting the calculations; nearest whole percentage point for comparison with the claim.)
