Nvidia shares gained 3% as to take Intel's spot on Dow Jones while Intel slumped 3%.
Intel will be replaced by Nvidia on the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average index after a 25-year run, underscoring the shift in the chipmaking market and marking another setback for the struggling semiconductor firm.
Nvidia will join the index next week along with paint-maker Sherwin-Williams, which will replace Dow, S&P Dow Jones Indices said on Friday.
Once the dominant force in chipmaking, Intel has in recent years ceded its manufacturing edge to rival TSMC and missed out on the generative artificial intelligence boom after missteps including passing on an investment in ChatGPT-owner OpenAI.
Intel's shares have declined 54% this year, making the company the worst performer on the index and leaving it with the lowest stock price on the price-weighted Dow.
