Aug 29 (Reuters) -The Dow notched a record high close on Thursday in mixed trading following robust U.S. economic data, while artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia dropped after its largely in-line forecast failed to impress investors.
The U.S. economy grew faster than initial estimates due to strong consumer spending, the Commerce Department reported, supporting expectations the U.S. is likely to avoid a recession.
"Downward revisions to inflation accompanying an upward revision to spending builds the case for a soft landing," said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial.
Nvidia's NVDA.O quarterly revenue forecast late on Wednesday disappointed investors accustomed to the chipmaker beating expectations by massive margins in recent quarters.
Nvidia's stock fell over 6%, trimming its 2024 gain to 137%.
Other AI-related stocks were mixed. Microsoft MSFT.O gained 0.6%, while Google-owner Alphabet GOOGL.O dipped 0.7%.
Broadcom AVGO.O and Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O each slid almost 1%.
"It's too early to put the bear suit on for AI related companies. We think there's still more upside," said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. "We see the AI revolution still in the relatively early innings and that bodes well for tech names."
Apple AAPL.O rose 1.5% after Citigroup named the iPhone maker its top AI pick.
Apple and Nvidia are in talks to invest in OpenAI as part of a new fundraising round that could value the ChatGPT maker above $100 billion, according to media reports.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 0.59% to 41,335.05 points, an all-time closing high. TheS&P 500 index .SPX ended barely changed at 5,591.96 points,just below its July record high close as expectations for a September interest rate cut remained robust.
The Nasdaq declined 0.23% to 17,516.43 points.
A Labor Department report showed marginally lower-than-expected jobless claims for the previous week.
The July Personal Consumption Expenditures report, due on Friday, could offer hints on the central bank's monetary policy easing trajectory.
CrowdStrike CRWD.O gained 2.8% afterthe cybersecurity company beat quarterly revenue estimates, while Dollar General DG.N slumped 32% afterslashing its annual sales and profit forecasts.
Advancing issues outnumbered falling ones within the S&P 500 .AD.SPX by a 2.1-to-one ratio.
The S&P 500 posted 68 new highs and four new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 91 new highs and 90 new lows.
Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 10.5 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 11.6 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.
