Nvidia's earnings will be scrutinized tojustify the stock's more than 160% year-to-date jump, which pushed its market cap value to No. 2, just below Apple's AAPL.O, as of Friday's close.
"Nvidia's on tap. People are taking a little money off the table, saying, well, we've earned some money," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. "Their forecast for the next six months or so is probably the most important data that we get this week."
Other growth names such as Tesla TSLA.O shed 3%, while Meta META.O fell 1.4% and Apple AAPL.O lost 0.8%.

Traders are now betting on either a 25-basis-point or a 50-basis-point rate cut in September. Odds of the former stand at 67.5%, while odds of a 50-bps cut are at 34.5%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.
Friday's highly anticipatedPersonal Consumption Expenditure data for July, the central bank's preferred inflation gauge, could provide more insight into the policy easing trajectory.
