A quarter of Nvidia’s business next year comes from labs it is financing
Matched: AI
Nvidia CFO Colette Kress disclosed that roughly a quarter of the company's business next year will come from AI labs it has financially backed. Nvidia has invested nearly $50 billion in these labs and arranged over $500 billion in financing partnerships with firms including Apollo, BlackRock, and KKR. The company acknowledged the "circular financing" label — investing in labs that then buy its chips — but rejected it, citing independent lender assessments and the resalability of hardware if a customer fails.
