Nvidia is funding an AI boom. Will it trigger a financial crash? | The Economist
NVIDIA has achieved a 14-fold stock surge and doubled annual revenue for three years, now accounting for 8% of the S&P 500 while securing a strategic partnership that includes a $30 billion equity investment and 20-year lease guarantees for OpenAI's massive Ohio data center. The company's financial dominance faces a projected shift as AI chip market share is expected to split evenly between NVIDIA and custom silicon from software firms by the decade's end. Despite concerns regarding circular financing, analysts argue that NVIDIA's massive liquidity and immediate revenue recognition make it the primary risk holder, suggesting any potential market correction would likely result in a shallow recession rather than a systemic banking crisis.
