Global Market Today: Nvidia, Tesla to Alphabet-Why can't Nasdaq-listed technical shareholders sit with ease?

Worldwide technical markets are likely to open on a cautious note on Monday after the US government announced a significant increase in H-1B visa fees, which increased the annual cost of USD 100,000 per applicant from September 21, 2025. The move can be shocked waves by Nasdaq-listed technical giants, including Nvidia, Tesla, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, as Invidors, as investors, send costs, talent acquisition and profitability on their underlines. Shares of Cognizant Technology Solutions fell about 4.75 percent on Nasdaq on Friday, while Infosys fell by 3.40 percent on the NYSE. The impact is also expected to extend to other US technical giants, including Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, Meta and Alphabet, which may experience long -term pressure. H-1B visa money increase in printing costs for the analysts of the Nasdaq-listed technical enterprises noted that Indian IT and technical enterprises, which are very dependent on H-1B visas, can confront a tightened talent pool. Similarly, US firms such as Apple, Meta, Amazon, Google, Nvidia and Tesla are likely to face challenges as the H-1B Visa fee increase can drive them to hire more US workers, possibly increase costs and affect efficiency. Seema Srivastava, senior research analyst at SMC Global Securities, emphasized the far -reaching impact of the fee increase. “This decision has a serious influence on Indian and US listed IT businesses with significant US operations,” she said. Srivastava noted that large technical companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple and Meta employ a large number of H-1B professionals, mainly from India. The sudden escalation of the fee will significantly increase staff costs for these firms. She added: “Businesses are expected to prioritize only critical or senior sponsorship roles, while the rental of junior and middle level is facing a sharp drop, especially among the middle-sided IT firms and startups. These policy shifts force more roles to stay abroad or leave the US.” The surge of the H-1B visa money has caused concerns among world investors as it directly affects the labor costs, operating strategies and the prospects of earnings. The move is widely regarded as part of the US administration’s efforts to increase jobs for US technical workers, but it has significant trade -offs. Basav Capital co-founder Sandeep Pandey explained: “After raising the H-1B visa money, employees’ costs for Indian and US technical companies are expected to rise sharply, regardless of the country to which employees belong. Pandey further emphasized the potential market impact: “Companies will pay more while productivity can fall, which is expected to affect the business volume and margins. I expect Nasdaq-listed shares such as Nvidia, Tesla, Meta and alphabet to open negatively if the US stock market opens.” Analysts warn that these increased staff costs can put margins together, especially for firms that rely on H-1B talent for critical technology roles, product development and research initiatives. The Indian IT sector accident fell more than 3.5 percent in the Intraday trade on Monday, which significantly underperformed the benchmark Nifty, which dropped just 0.5 percent. All ingredients of the Nifty IT index traded in the red, with Tech Mahindra coming up as the biggest loser and dropped by 5.8 percent. Mphasis and persistent system shares also dropped sharply, each dropping more than 5 percent. Meanwhile, shares of TCS, Wipro, HCl Technologies, Infosys, Coforge and Ltimindree lost between 3-5 percent, while Oracle Financial Services fell 1.4 percent.
