Nvidia faced renewed scrutiny over the nature of its AI investment strategy, with critics arguing that its practice of investing heavily in AI companies that in turn buy Nvidia chips creates circular dependencies that add risk to the broader AI ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Reports on the weekend said Nvidia was in talks to provide a roughly $250 billion backstop for OpenAI as part of a massive data-center project.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, China appears to be growing in strength.

AI token usage continues to rise exponentially, while AI hosting companies appear to be computing constrained,\u201d they said in a report.<\/p>\n<p>Given the high likelihood of strong AI capital expenditures in the near term and medium term (and likely the long term too), we believe Nvidia&#8217;s growth prospects are underrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur understanding is that Nvidia is providing backstops to some neoclouds, enabling them to receive better financing terms for buildouts in exchange for sharing some of their AI hosting revenue with Nvidia\u2026 A similar OpenAI deal would be much larger and more prominent, but in our view, is squarely in line with Nvidia&#8217;s broader strategy of seeding and developing the AI ecosystem for all players,\u201d according to Morningstar.<\/p>\n<p>Retail View On Chip Stocks<\/p>\n<p>On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was \u2018neutral\u2019 for NVDA, \u2018bullish\u2019 for AMD, and \u2018extremely bullish\u2019 for INTC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c$AMD $NVDA $INTC $MU Well the whole TAM bs doesnt even matter, the reality is these companies are building these data centres, and computers are all that will matter in the end,\u201d a trader\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/Ub3r5pAnK\/message\/660166086\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/sri70\/message\/660166335\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>: \u201c$NVDA $QQQ\u00a0 speculative news of potential funding OpenAI datacenter by Wallstreet news caused damage, unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"STButton_lg__XBy4m text-lg px-6 gap-2 STButton_button__ObG_J h-[--size] inline-flex flex-row items-center justify-center border rounded-full font-semibold whitespace-nowrap STButton_black-secondary__xIxs1 bg-white text-black border-secondary-button-border dark|bg-transparent dark|text-white hover|!bg-light-grey-6 dark|hover|!bg-dark-grey-5 p-2\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqKQgKIiNDQklTRkFnTWFoQUtEbk4wYjJOcmRIZHBkSE11WTI5dEtBQVAB\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Follow on Google News\" src=\"https:\/\/chunks-prd.stocktwits-cdn.com\/_next\/static\/media\/google-news-icon.d9c2bfd1.svg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to Chart Art<\/p>\n<p>The best trade ideas and analysis from the Stocktwits community.
