NIO Drops 5% on Disclosed BlackRock Stake Cut While Tesla, Lucid, Rivian Hold Steady
Quick Read NIO fell 5% after BlackRock's 13F revealed a 12% stake cut, though the disclosure is a 45-day-old snapshot of past holdings. BlackRock doubled its LCID stake to a record 12 million shares and raised RIVN to 56 million, signaling a rotation away from Chinese EV names. NIO's July deliveries surged 71% year over year to 35,934 vehicles, but strong fundamentals failed to offset the institutional positioning headline.

Nvidia (NVDA) Is Going Beyond GPUs in the $500 Billion AI Boom, Wells Fargo Says
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) just partnered with six major financial institutions on a $500 billion financing push for artificial intelligence infrastructure. The chipmaker said on Monday that it has signed memorandums of understanding with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish independent computing financing platforms for Nvidia's customers. Marking a major milestone for Nvidia and the AI industry, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang noted how the move will help bring the "world's leading long-term capital providers together to independently underwrite AI infrastructure." Major technology companies continue to ramp up AI investment, with total spending expected to surpass $730 billion this year. Following the news, Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock with a $315.00 price target. The Wall Street firm sees the financial partnership as proof that Nvidia is playing a bigger role in AI infrastructure build outs. However, the bigger story may extend well beyond another bullish analyst call. The Partnership Could Tackle the Financial Aspect Big tech has been spending hundreds of billions to fund the AI boom, while growing financial needs has turned Wall Street skeptical regarding the returns these investments will ultimately generate. No wonder Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) also recently announced a venture with asset manager BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) to develop and operate a one gigawatt data center campus in El Paso, Texas. The Meta-BlackRock deal aims to ease some of Meta's funding pressures, similar to what Nvidia is trying to achieve with its recent financing effort. According to Wells Fargo, the new platforms would help Nvidia in long-duration financing tied to revenue, as well as sharing and usage, helping mobilize over $500 billion of 3rd-party capital for AI infrastructure build outs. Why is this distinction important? Simply because Nvidia isn't committing its own $500 billion but bringing large pools of institutional money into AI infrastructure. These financing platforms will not only enable customers to access compute resources at scale, but may potentially help Nvidia develop an evolving recurring revenue model. The Bigger Picture The Nvidia partnership isn't entirely risk free, and comes with its own financial and market hazards. Jim Zelter, Apollo Global Management President, has noted that the AI investment cycle will likely experience "excesses" and "pullbacks." Goldman Sachs CEO has also warned that some major companies may ultimately fail to live up to expectations. Story Continues The risk becomes noticeable considering Nvidia has the option to backstop 25% of each loan made through the program. This may expose its balance sheet to contingent liabilities, circular financing concerns, and even default exposure. Famed short-seller Michael Burry has also echoed some of the skepticism, arguing late last year how big tech companies may be extending the useful lives of AI hardware and therefore understating depreciation expenses. What the Hedge Fund Numbers Say Nvidia Corporation remains widely held among hedge funds. According to Insider Monkey's database, 275 hedge funds held stakes in NVDA, up from 264 in the previous quarter. Mega-cap peer Meta Platforms Inc. who is also heavily investing in AI infrastructure is slightly behind yet maintains substantial exposure with 262 hedge fund holdings, up from 256 in the prior quarter. The numbers suggest that despite growing concerns about the returns on massive AI spending, hedge funds continue to maintain substantial exposure to the companies positioned at different ends of the AI buildout. Overall, Nvidia's financing push is helping expand its role well beyond selling GPUs. However, investors need to watch if the AI chipmaker can eventually support a recurring revenue model. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we beli

Who wins most in NVIDIA’s $500 billion private capital deal?
Investing.com -- NVIDIA's deal to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR reframes how AI factories are built and financed. By turning GPU compute into a standardized, investable asset class, NVIDIA addresses severe liquidity bottlenecks. However, the financial rewards and structural advantages flow to specific winners across the AI and financial ecosystems. 1. NVIDIA: Offloading Debt to Safeguard Free Cash Flow NVIDIA emerges as the primary strategic winner because the framework shifts lending risk entirely off its balance sheet. Under prior arrangements, NVIDIA acted simultaneously as a hardware supplier and debt guarantor—including an initial ~$100 billion OpenAI commitment backed by an estimated $250 billion guarantee. That structure raised intense "circularity" concerns that NVIDIA was effectively funding its own demand. BofA analyst Vivek Arya reiterates a Buy rating ($320 price target), plain-spokenly noting: "The burden sits with the consortium, not NVDA's balance sheet. NVDA guarantees asset quality, not the debt, turning the bear's depreciation worry into the enabling feature." BofA estimates NVIDIA's prior vendor-financing exposure at roughly 15% of its ~$470 billion in projected free cash flow (FCF) over 2026 and 2027. Shifting that load to private capital frees up NVIDIA's massive FCF for aggressive stock buybacks. Consensus models project NVDA buybacks at ~$73 billion in 2026 and ~$106 billion in 2027—only 36% to 37% of FCF compared to NVIDIA's pledge to return over 50%. Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers (Overweight rating, $315 price target) highlights that NVIDIA is orchestrating something far bigger than chip sales: "We see this as yet another example of how NVDA is playing a much bigger game than just a supplier in AI infra build-outs," citing NVIDIA's press framing that it is "helping create a new class of productive, investable infrastructure: AI Factories." Because CUDA software continually extends GPU lifespan and keeps compute fungible across operators, rental yields remain elevated and depreciation curves stay benign. With BofA estimating NVIDIA holds 65% to 70% of a projected $1.7 trillion CY2030 AI systems TAM, this $500 billion financing pool serves as an early enabler of a massive long-term expansion. 2. Neoclouds & Power Operators: Lowering the Cost of Capital Neocloud operators CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) and Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) represent the most direct public-market beneficiaries. Both saw immediate stock gains following the announcement—CoreWeave rose 1.6% and Nebius jumped 2.6%. Story Continues As non-investment-grade borrowers, neoclouds face high borrowing costs when trying to buy tens of thousands of expensive GPUs. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Vasu Kasibhotla notes that private capital backing "can ease financing constraints for CoreWeave, Nebius and other neocloud and power-site operators." Kasibhotla adds that "for CoreWeave, cheaper and deeper credit can ease funding pressure from its heavy capital-spending plan. For Nebius, greater capital availability would strengthen the funding base for expansion." Access to deeper, cheaper credit enables these operators to secure scarce power sites and expand data center capacity faster without diluting equity. 3. The Private Capital Consortium: A High-Yield Tech Credit Market The six private equity and asset management giants—Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR—gain access to a lucrative, scalable yield platform. Institutional investors have long searched for large-scale, yield-generating real assets tied to digital transformation. By structuring AI data centers as an asset-backed credit class with usage-linked revenue-sharing mechanisms, these mega-firms can deploy institutional capital into long-duration, high-yield technology real estate. 4. Secondary Beneficiaries: Memory & Optical Supply Chains If the $500 billion capital pool succes

Nvidia's $500 Billion AI Plan Gets Wall Street Backing
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia Corp. (NVDA, Financials), the leading provider of artificial intelligence chips, is in discussions with some of Wall Street's top firms on a strategy that may free up more than $500 billion for the next phase of the AI buildout.Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Blackstone, KKR, Apollo, and Brookfield are among the companies involved. The notion is simple but potentially big: think of AI data centers and computing systems as revenue-generating infrastructure that can be financed much like other long-lived assets.That could matter if Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and others spend huge amounts on data centers and resort more to loan and equity markets for funding.Nvidia also might underwrite up to 25% of qualifying loans, potentially helping clients get better financing. Borrowers would utilize Nvidia-approved designs for the systems, which may be transferred to another operator if necessary.That might free up one of the main restraints on future demand for Nvidia chips: access to funding. The worry is Wall Street is subsidizing capacity faster than AI economics can ultimately support. But for now, Huang is trying to make sure money doesn't become a bottleneck. View Comments

Nvidia Wants to Make Its Chips Wall Street's Newest Asset Class
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced it will work with six Wall Street firms to mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital for AI infrastructure. Apollo (NYSE:APO), Blackstone (NYSE:BX), BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Brookfield (NYSE:BAM), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), and KKR (NYSE:KKR) are the partners, and Nvidia said the firms will create dedicated capital pools to finance its AI ambitions at attractive rates for its customers. Nvidia shares are up 0.51% premarket despite losing roughly $60 billion in market cap following the reports. The scale is enormous, but so is the concern behind the drop. The arrangement deepens what critics call circular financing: Nvidia helps fund the customers who buy its chips, which in turn lifts its own revenue. The structure has drawn scrutiny over concentrated risk as AI spending balloons. Morgan Stanley projects the largest cloud companies will spend $3.5 trillion on AI infrastructure between 2026 and 2028. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang framed the move as something lenders can borrow against. Huang told CNBC it was the first time computer chips had become "an investable asset class," describing them as revenue-generating and long-lived rather than fast-depreciating hardware. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink compared the effort to the birth of mortgage-backed securities in the 1970s, calling it the next chapter of financial engineering. View Comments

Should iShares MSCI USA Small-Cap Min Vol Factor ETF (SMMV) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Small Cap Blend segment of the US equity market, the iShares MSCI USA Small-Cap Min Vol Factor ETF (SMMV) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on September 7, 2016. The fund is sponsored by Blackrock. It has amassed assets over $290.56 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Small Cap Blend segment of the US equity market. Why Small Cap Blend Sitting at a market capitalization below $2 billion, small cap companies tend to be high-potential stocks compared to its large and mid cap counterparts, but come with higher risk. Blend ETFs usually hold a mix of growth and value stocks as well as stocks that exhibit both value and growth characteristics. Costs Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same. Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.2%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space. It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.65%. Sector Exposure and Top Holdings It is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis. This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Healthcare sector -- about 17.8% of the portfolio. Industrials and Information Technology round out the top three. Looking at individual holdings, Pinnacle West Corp (PNW) accounts for about 1.53% of total assets, followed by Agree Realty Reit Corp (ADC) and Omega Healthcare Investors Reit In (OHI). Performance and Risk SMMV seeks to match the performance of the MSCI USA Small Cap Minimum Volatility (USD) Index before fees and expenses. The MSCI USA Small Cap Minimum Volatility (USD) Index comprises of small-capitalization U.S. equities that, in the aggregate, have lower volatility characteristics relative to the small-capitalization U.S. equity market. The ETF return is roughly 9.84% so far this year and it's up approximately 15.02% in the last one year (as of 08/11/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $41.91 and $47.54. The ETF has a beta of 0.60 and standard deviation of 11.89% for the trailing three-year period. With about 369 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.

Larry Fink says Americans’ retirement savings need to fund $10 trillion AI infrastructure demands. Protect your wealth
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Tech giants are expected to spend trillions of dollars on AI infrastructure in the coming years as they race to build the data centers, chips and energy capacity needed to support artificial intelligence. McKinsey previously estimated that AI-related data center infrastructure could require up to $7 trillion in investment by 2030 (1). That's more than the size of Germany and Spain's GDP combined, per World Bank data (2). Must Read Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 — 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one JPMorgan still sees gold hitting $5,000/oz by Q4 — and savvy investors are protecting their wealth with a tax-advantaged Gold IRA. Learn more with a free guide from Priority Gold The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028 — and experts say most people won't act in time. What to do before the window closes The question is: Where will all that money come from? BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) CEO Larry Fink believes ordinary Americans could help provide some of that capital — not by writing checks themselves, but through the retirement accounts and investments that own stakes in the companies leading the AI race. "If we can get more and more Americans to think about growing with the United States, we will have far [more] than enough money to invest in this infrastructure," Fink said earlier this year at Texas State Technical College in Waco alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott (3). At the time, Fink estimated the nationwide buildout of data centers and energy infrastructure could total $10 trillion over the next 10 years. Since then, the AI arms race has only picked up speed. Tech giants are spending tens of billions of dollars to build the data centers, buy the chips and secure the electricity needed to power the next generation of AI. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Meta (NASDAQ: META) are among the companies leading that charge — and their massive AI investments are one reason so many investors' portfolios are increasingly tied to the success of this technology. Here's how some of your retirement funds are already exposed to this colossal spending spree on a technology that could reshape the way millions of people work. Ordinary Americans are exposed to the AI boom Your 401(k) plan is likely exposed to the AI boom, even if you're not aware of it. Story Continues That's because a growing number of workers and savers have turned to passively investing in index funds in recent years, even as tech giants have become a larger part of these indexes. As of April 2026, Americans collectively had $20.82 trillion invested in index mutual funds and ETFs, according to the Investment Company Institute (4). But there's a catch: Many of these supposedly diversified funds have become increasingly concentrated in a handful of mega-cap technology companies. At the end of 2025, 41% of the S&P 500's market cap was concentrated in just the top 10 stocks, including familiar names like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), according to RBC Wealth Management (5). These tech giants are leading the data center and utility spending spree. "America is now one big bet on AI," Ruchir Sharma wrote in the Financial Times (6). "AI better deliver for the U.S., or its economy and markets will lose the one leg they are now standing on." As one of the largest index fund providers (7) in the country, BlackRock has a front-row seat to this concentrated bet on AI. This is why Larry Fink's comments are worth your attention. If the thought of your retirement savings being increasingly tied to the success of this one industry makes you uneasy, there are ways to protect yourself.

Nvidia $500bn AI spending splurge unnerves investors
Jensen Huang said Nvidia was 'bringing independent, long-term institutional capital into the AI infrastructure market' - Tomohiro Ohsumi/Getty Images AsiaPac Nvidia's chief executive has defended a $500bn (£370bn) AI financing plan after the move unnerved investors. Jensen Huang denied that a framework agreed with several Wall Street giants to finance data centres was "circular" financing, amid fears that the practice is inflating an AI bubble. Nvidia announced agreements with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR under which the investment firms would finance more than $500bn in AI infrastructure such as data centres. But shares fell by almost 2.8pc on Monday after the agreement was announced. Under the arrangement, the companies will provide financing to companies to build AI data centres. Nvidia will be the ultimate beneficiary of much of this spending, since it supplies the AI chips and other equipment that go into data centres. Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, has been accused of pumping up an AI bubble by investing in AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic that ultimately pay for its chips. These so-called circular deals were a common feature of the dotcom bubble. However, Mr Huang said the latest memorandum of understanding did not constitute circular financing. "This initiative is designed to address that concern. We are bringing independent, long-term institutional capital into the AI infrastructure market," he said. "The demand is real: it comes from frontier AI labs, AI-native startups, enterprises, cloud providers and countries building AI services. The capital providers independently underwrite each project." However, Mr Huang also said that Nvidia may backstop up to 25pc of any deal, suggesting it could provide $125bn of its own financing. Nvidia's arrangements amount to memorandums of understanding with the six financial firms, with the ultimate aim of securing $500bn in financing. If achieved, this would be one of Wall Street's biggest-ever arrangements and would bring mainstream investors closer to the AI industry. Mr Huang said it would make data centres – or "AI factories" – an investable asset class, similar to real estate. To date, data centre construction has been largely financed by big tech companies, although Wall Street firms are increasingly supporting them. Last month Meta announced a strategic venture with BlackRock to finance a giant data centre in Texas. Borrowing costs for large AI projects have risen in recent weeks as investors have grown more nervous about the boom. Data centre beneficiaries such as Nvidia are generating real revenue, but there are concerns that this is coming from AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which are burning through investors' cash. OpenAI staff have sold $7bn worth of shares as they cash in on the company's $852bn valuation before an initial public offering, CNBC reported on Monday. View Comments

Nvidia Makes Massive Move to Fund AI Buildout
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is reportedly working with some of Wall Street's biggest financial firms on a financing package of up to $500 billion for AI infrastructure, potentially giving the chipmaker an even deeper role in funding the data centers, power systems and computing capacity that ultimately drive demand for its GPUs. The scale of the plan underscores how capital-intensive the AI boom has become, but it also raises fresh questions about how much financial risk is building around the sector. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with APO. Is APO fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The consortium reportedly includes Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO), Blackstone (NYSE:BX), BlackRock's (NYSE:BLK) Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and KKR. A deal could be announced imminently, according to reports. For Nvidia, the strategic logic is straightforward. Financing more AI infrastructure can help customers and partners fund the enormous upfront cost of chips, data centers and power generation, potentially supporting continued demand for Nvidia hardware even as capital requirements rise. The Financial Times also reported that Nvidia has discussed backing a large Ohio data-center project leased to OpenAI, highlighting how the company's role is expanding beyond simply supplying accelerators. The backdrop remains exceptionally strong. Nvidia reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue of $81.6 billion, up 85% year over year, with gross margin near 75%. Still, Nvidia shares fell more than 3% Monday as investors weighed whether increasingly complex financing arrangements signal that AI customers need greater outside support to sustain the current spending boom. Investor Takeaway On Nvidia Stock The key question is whether $500 billion of new financing expands Nvidia's addressable market or simply shifts more AI-infrastructure risk into the financial system. Investors should watch data-center revenue growth, customer capex commitments, financing terms and any guarantees Nvidia provides. Strong utilization and rising AI demand would make the financing package a powerful accelerator for GPU sales. The risk is circularity: if infrastructure developers borrow heavily to buy Nvidia hardware but AI monetization falls short, weaker project economics could eventually hit both financing availability and chip demand. With Nvidia's next quarterly results scheduled for Aug. 26, investors will be looking for evidence that underlying compute demand remains strong enough to justify the unprecedented capital flowing into the sector.

Invesco Hits a New 52-Week High: Is There Further Upside Potential?
Invesco Ltd. IVZ shares touched a new 52-week high of $32.55 during Friday's trading session before closing at $31.69, below the session's peak. Over the past six months, shares of IVZ have rallied 17.2% against the industry's decline of 0.4%. Additionally, its close peers, Franklin Resources, Inc. BEN and BlackRock, Inc. BLK, have gained 20.1% and 4%, respectively, while AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. AB has declined 7% over the same period. 6-Month Price PerformanceZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Does Invesco stock have more upside left despite recently touching its 52-week high? Let us find out. Factors Aiding Invesco's Stock Strategic Restructuring Efforts: Invesco has been undertaking business restructuring initiatives to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and optimize its global business. In June, the company completed the sale of its Canadian fund management business to CI Global Asset Management (CI GAM), involving management agreements for approximately C$27 billion in assets under management. As part of the transaction, Invesco affiliates will continue to provide portfolio management services for 61 funds representing approximately C$13 billion in AUM through a long-term sub-advisory arrangement. This enables Invesco to retain strategic exposure to the Canadian market while reducing the operational resources required to manage the fund business directly. In addition, Invesco shifted its India partnership to a minority stake and sub-advisory role, which is expected to reduce operating expenses while retaining strategic exposure to the market. These initiatives are being undertaken alongside the rollout of the company's hybrid investment platform, which remains on track for completion by year-end 2026. The platform is expected to simplify Invesco's investment architecture, support future cost savings, and avoid incremental costs beginning in 2027. Consistent AUM Growth: Invesco has witnessed strong growth in its AUM, supported by robust client demand across ETFs, index products, QQQ, private markets, and fixed income. During the first six months of 2026, net long-term inflows totaled nearly $67 billion, compared with $27.9 billion in the year-ago period. Ending AUM was $2.47 trillion as of June 30, 2026, up 23.4% year over year, while average AUM increased 24.8%. The company's diversified investment capabilities are also helping it capture changing client preferences. Despite shifts in the asset mix, Invesco's net revenue yield remained relatively stable at 22.4 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 compared with 23.2 basis points a year ago. Story Continues Net Revenue Yield & Average AUM TrendInvesco Ltd. Image Source: Invesco Ltd. The resilience in revenue yield, despite strong growth in lower-yielding products such as ETFs and Index products, supports the quality of Invesco's AUM growth. Continued product expansion and broad investment capabilities should help the company capture evolving client demand and support AUM and revenue growth over the long term. Hence, this reinforces steady momentum in the top line, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate rising 15.28% for 2026 and 9.58% for 2027. Sales EstimateZacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Strong Balance Sheet Supports Capital Distribution Activities: Invesco maintains a solid balance sheet position, supported by improving liquidity and declining leverage. As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $915.4 million, while total debt declined to $1.62 billion from $1.97 billion at the end of the first quarter. Further, the leverage ratio, including preferred stock, improved to 1.9 from 2.3 in the prior quarter and 2.7 in the year-ago quarter. With no major debt maturities until 2028 and investment-grade credit ratings, Invesco has adequate financial flexibility to meet operational needs and support capital distribution activities. The company maintains a share repurchase program, with ne

Nvidia and Wall Street giants plan $500B AI funding deal, FT reports
Investing.com -- Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is reportedly assembling a staggering $500 billion AI infrastructure funding package in partnership with some of Wall Street's most formidable financial institutions. Despite the monumental scope of the Financial Times report, shares slipped roughly 3.1% in highly active Monday trading. According to sources briefed on the talks, the consortium reads like a who's who of global finance: Apollo Global BlackRock (Global Infrastructure Partners) Blackstone Brookfield Asset Management Goldman Sachs KKR This partnership underscores Nvidia's rapid evolution. The company is no longer just a pure-play hardware supplier; it is transforming into a capital-mobilization engine for the broader AI build-out. As private capital firms aggressively accelerate their commitments to chips, power production, and data centers, Nvidia has emerged as the connective tissue linking institutional money to the physical hardware ecosystem. If finalized, this would represent one of the most ambitious lending efforts in Wall Street history. The deal could be officially announced as early as Monday, August 10, though none of the involved parties have publicly commented. The exact mechanics of the $500 billion envelope—whether it will rely on equity, debt, or blended financing, and what specific stake Nvidia might retain—remain heavily guarded secrets. The sheer size of this build-out is unprecedented but necessary. For context, Goldman Sachs projects that global AI infrastructure investments will breach the $1 trillion mark in 2026 alone.

Nvidia to Team With Wall Street on $500 Billion Package, FT Says
(Bloomberg) -- A group of US investment giants are partnering with Nvidia Corp. on $500 billion in funding for AI infrastructure projects, the Financial Times reported. Most Read from Bloomberg China Unleashes $28 Trillion Capital Markets to Challenge US in AI Stocks Wobble on Hormuz Standoff as Nvidia Sinks: Markets Wrap Iran Shakes Up Security Team After Saying Oman Deal 'Very Close' Trump Amps Up Pressure on Billionaire Sargeant to Exit Venezuela GameStop's Ryan Cohen Weighs Pulling $56 Billion EBay Offer Apollo Global Management Inc., Blackstone Inc., BlackRock Inc.'s Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and KKR & Co. are among the firms in talks with Nvidia on a deal to invest in the AI buildout, the Financial Times reported, citing unidentified sources. The deal may be announced as soon as Monday, the Times said. The named firms didn't respond to requests from the Times for comment. Nvidia didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The company's shares fell by as much as 3.2%. Nvidia has already inked hundreds of billions of dollars worth of deals with companies across the AI ecosystem, stoking concerns from some investors that the chips giant is inflating demand and valuations across the industry through the circular nature of such agreements. The company just last month expanded a partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group and said the companies will be doing more than $500 billion in business with each other. It was also in talks to backstop as much as $250 billion to help OpenAI lease computing power from a US data center project in what would be among the chipmaker's biggest financing deals with a customer. The Financial Times report didn't detail which projects or companies the funding would back, the nature of the funding or whether the $500 billion represented new commitments or already existing ones. Nvidia said last month it had made a "substantial" investment in Safe Superintelligence Inc., the AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. And it was in discussions to finance $350 billion of OpenAI's purchases of its chips for the US project. --With assistance from Ian King.
