NVIDIA Eyes $750B in AI Deals Amid Financing Scrutiny

NVIDIA is pursuing more than $750 billion in new AI-related agreements, including a Korean data-center partnership with SK Group (covering SK Telecom and SK Hynix) that could exceed $500 billion in business, investments in Naver to expand an AI facility with Brookfield, and discussions to back OpenAI’s purchases and a SoftBank‑led Ohio data-center project, with possible guarantees up to $250 billion. The moves signal strong long‑term demand for AI infrastructure, but raise investor concerns about NVIDIA taking on financing risks for customers, while management argues these deals reflect genuine demand rather than circular demand; the stock fell as the news circulated.

The court valued assets as of 2024, before the AI boom, and the amount is lower than earlier rulings that proposed around $1 billion.
