I think Nvidia's move here is "strategically correct but financially risky."
A $250 billion contingent liability is equivalent to six years of Nvidia's free cash flow, while OpenAI has lost billions this year and profitability is nowhere in sight.
Nvidia is using its own credit to provide lease credit enhancement for a loss-making company, essentially betting that AGI computing demand will always outpace supply, but this is a huge gamble.
For competitors, AMD and Intel are the most affected—Nvidia has locked TSMC's CoWoS capacity early for OpenAI, a major client, so the scheduling for MI300 and Gaudi will only be pushed back, making it harder to gain market share.
Broadcom's ASIC customization business will also be impacted because once OpenAI validates the standardized GPU solution, other major clients may prefer off-the-shelf products over custom chips.
On the cloud provider side, Microsoft appears to be an OpenAI shareholder, but the promotion of Azure's Maia chip will be hindered, and Amazon's Trainium will struggle to achieve scale effects since their major clients are following Nvidia's ecosystem.
Looking at the market reaction: Nvidia's stock price plunged, and bearish sentiment in the options market rose to a three-month high. Wall Street credit analysts have begun reassessing Nvidia's debt rating; if the guarantee is considered an off-balance-sheet liability, financing costs may increase.
My judgment: This move will strengthen Nvidia's moat in the long term, but the tail risk is underestimated in the short term. In the coming quarters, as long as OpenAI's financials do not show significant improvement, this sword will hang over Nvidia's stock price.
