According to Yahoo Finance analysis, NVIDIA and OpenAI have deepened their cooperation, with NVIDIA providing residual value guarantees of up to $105 billion for OpenAI's data center infrastructure to ensure OpenAI's continued procurement of NVIDIA chips. OpenAI completed a $110 billion funding round in February this year and plans to bring 4.25 gigawatts of data centers online by 2028, with NVIDIA as its exclusive computing supplier. Wall Street has expressed skepticism about such "circular financing structures where suppliers help customers finance the purchase of their own products," but NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and CFO Colette Kress stated on the earnings call that this move aims to lock in demand and generate substantial equity returns.
