In a filing<\/a> with the SEC on Monday, Nvidia disclosed plans for the capital raise but didn’t include the dollar amount. Earlier this year, the chipmaker said it could raise up to $25 billion through issuance of unsecured commercial paper notes. The debt sale could end up closer to $25 billion, said the sources, who asked not to be named because the numbers aren’t public. <\/p>\n Nvidia shares rose 3,5% on Monday and are up about 14% this year. <\/p>\n The chipmaker is the latest tech company tied to the artificial intelligence trade to tap the capital markets. Alphabet<\/a> announced plans earlier this month to raise $85 billion<\/a> in equity-related offerings after securing more than $55 billion in\u00a0fresh debt<\/a>\u00a0since November. And last week, Super Micro<\/a> announced $7 billion in equity-related financing deals<\/a> to help to cover the cost of hardware component purchases.<\/p>\n Amazon<\/a>, meanwhile, raised roughly $54 billion in debt earlier this year in U.S. and European bond sales, and announced plans last week to raise about $10 billion in a Canadian debt sale<\/p>\n Nvidia has about $7.5 billion in long-term debt and another $1 billion in short-term debt. In its last debt raise<\/a> in 2021, Nvidia brought in $5 billion, with notes maturing as late as 2031. But Nvidia was a much smaller company then, generating revenue in fiscal 2022 of about $27 billion, compared to sales of $216 billion in fiscal 2026. <\/p>\n The launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022 was a major catalyst for Nvidia’s historic rate of growth that followed, as AI model companies and hyperscalers started gobbling up as many of the company’s graphics processing units as they could. <\/p>\n An Nvidia spokesperson said that the company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment and refinancing of existing debt. <\/p>\n Nvidia announced an aggressive capital return program in May, when it raised its dividend<\/a> from a penny a share to 25 cents and said it planned to repurchase $80 billion in shares. Nvidia generated $49 billion in free cash flow in the latest quarter, up from $35 billion in the same period a year earlier, and reiterated plans in its latest earnings call to “return\u00a0roughly\u00a050%\u00a0of\u00a0free\u00a0cash\u00a0flow\u00a0to\u00a0shareholders\u00a0this\u00a0year.”<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/strong> Wedbush analyst says Nvidia is undervalued<\/a><\/p>\n
