See for yourself (Sponsor)If you owned GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:NVDL) into the close on Friday, June 5, 2026, your screen looked broken. The fund opened the session near $109.45 and closed at $95.91, a 12% single-day drop. The underlying, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), fell 6.2% from $218.66 to $205.10, shedding ~$279 billion in market value in a single session. That is the largest single-day dollar loss in the chip complex this year, and it is exactly what a 2x daily reset wrapper is supposed to do on a bad day.Round trip the arithmetic from a fresh-money perspective. A reader who put $10,000 into NVDL at Thursday's close, June 4, woke up Saturday morning looking at a position reflecting the fund's single-day drop. The same $10,000 in NVDA itself reflected the underlying's move. The leverage delivered on its prospectus, which is the small print most retail buyers of single-stock 2x funds either skim or skip entirely.[wsr-stock-price-target ticker="NVDL"]NVDL is a single-stock leveraged ETF that targets twice the daily return of NVDA, achieved through swap agreements with bank counterparties. The word that matters is daily. Each morning the fund resets its exposure so that one day's move in NVDA translates into roughly two days' worth of move in the ETF. On a clean down-6 tape in the underlying, the ETF prints a clean down-12, give or take the cost of the swap, the management fee, and intraday rebalancing slippage. June 5's 12% drop against NVDA's 6.2% closing print is textbook behavior.The non-obvious part is what happens over longer windows. Daily resets compound. In a clean, low-volatility uptrend NVDL meaningfully outperforms a static 2x exposure, which is how the fund delivered a 71% one-year return against NVDA's 47% over the same window. In a chop tape, the same mechanism quietly bleeds value even when the underlying ends flat. That is the trade. You are paying for the path the stock takes to get where it ends up, as much as for the leverage itself.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
