Key Takeaways NVIDIA has begun Vera Rubin production, targeting 10 times Grace Blackwell's agent throughput at scale.NVDA expects Vera Rubin to contribute about 20% of Data Center revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2027.Major cloud providers are preparing deployments, but supply bottlenecks may persist through fiscal 2028.
NVIDIA Corporation’s (NVDA - Free Report) Vera Rubin platform could extend its lead in the artificial intelligence (AI) market by delivering greater computing performance and efficiency for increasingly complex AI workloads. Production of this next-generation platform has started, giving NVIDIA another opportunity to strengthen its position as businesses expand AI infrastructure.

The platform combines Rubin GPUs (graphics processing units), Vera CPUs (Central Processing Units), networking, storage and other components into integrated systems designed for large-scale AI factories. NVIDIA claims Vera Rubin can deliver 10 times the agent throughput of its previous Grace Blackwell platform at scale. Its production network spans more than 350 factories across 30 countries.

The growth opportunity is substantial. In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA’s revenues increased 106% year over year to $96.2 billion, while Data Center revenues climbed 117% to $89 billion. Management expects third-quarter revenues of $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, and anticipates Vera Rubin will contribute about 20% of Data Center revenues in the quarter.

Major cloud providers, including CoreWeave, Alphabet, Microsoft, Oracle and Nebius, are preparing to deploy the platform. These partnerships could help NVIDIA capture demand for AI agents that perform multi-step tasks, increasing the need for computing power.

Vera Rubin strengthens NVIDIA’s growth outlook. However, supply constraints could limit its ability to meet demand, while rising memory costs could pressure margins. Management expects supply to remain a bottleneck through at least fiscal 2028.

NVIDIA’s Rivals Advance Their AI Chip PlatformsAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) is challenging NVIDIA with its Instinct GPUs and Helios rack-scale systems. AMD’s second-quarter 2026 revenues rose 50% year over year to $11.54 billion, while Data Center sales jumped 107% to $6.72 billion.

Advanced Micro Devices also plans to supply up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs to Anthropic, with the first deployment expected in the first half of 2027. This could make AMD a stronger alternative as customers seek more AI computing capacity.

Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) is also expanding its data-center business. Its second-quarter 2026 revenues rose 25% year over year to $16.13 billion, supported by demand for its processor products.

Intel is investing in its CPU, advanced packaging and manufacturing capabilities to capture more AI infrastructure spending. However, NVIDIA’s integrated GPU systems, networking and software ecosystem remain important advantages.

Advanced Micro Devices’ upcoming MI450 platform and Intel’s processor business offer customers more choices. Still, NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin ramp could help it maintain its lead if it delivers the promised performance and scales production smoothly.

Amazon is reportedly closing in on a $7 billion deal for a startup with barely 100 employees and no disclosed revenue, and the real prize has nothing to do with the flashy video models everyone is talking about.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN | AMZN Price Prediction) is reported to be in talks to pay around $7 billion for Decart, a company with about 100 employees and no disclosed revenue. The talks were reported on October 11, 2026, and no deal had been announced as of October 12, 2026. Amazon and Decart both declined to comment, and the deal could still fall apart or draw another bidder.

Amazon shares closed at $259.53 on October 12, a session move of -1.11%, so the market did not treat the reported talks as an obvious win. The price only makes sense if you value Decart as a way to move AI developers off Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) software, which is worth far more to Amazon than its video models.

Two Businesses Inside One Small Startup Decart’s visible business is real-time generative video. Its Oasis model generates interactive worlds, and Lucy edits live video as it plays.

The second business is the Decart Optimization Stack. It is software that makes AI models run faster and cheaper on Nvidia GPUs, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) TPUs, and Amazon’s Trainium chips without rebuilding the model for each chip. That’s what Amazon would most likely pay for if the talks lead to a deal.

Nvidia’s CUDA software, the programming layer most AI models are written and tuned for, is the main reason developers stay on Nvidia hardware, and Amazon has built Trainium for years, but getting customers to port their models has proven harder than building the chip.

Amazon became a Decart strategic customer in May 2026. Chief executive Dean Leitersdorf has said Trainium3 runs Decart’s models at half the cost of GPUs, a claim the company made about its own results.

A Small Price for a $2.80 Trillion Company Against Amazon’s $2.80 trillion market value, the reported price is small. Amazon spent $54.2 billion on capital expenditures (data centers and equipment) in the second quarter of 2026 alone.

Its chips business passed a $25 billion annualized revenue run rate that quarter. If Decart’s software could shift even a small share of AI workloads onto Trainium, the saved Nvidia margin could cover the reported price.

A Rival Looked at Decart and Walked Away Anthropic reportedly considered a Decart deal at about $6 billion in August and walked away after due diligence in September. A sophisticated buyer passed at a lower price than the one now being discussed, for reasons that went unreported.

Decart has not disclosed revenue, and the only outside estimate puts it at several tens of millions of dollars. That would make the reported price a very high multiple of Decart’s sales.

The reported figure is about 75% higher than the May 2026 round, which raised $300 million led by Radical Ventures. An earlier round valued Decart at $3.1 billion.

Nvidia is also a Decart investor, which complicates the idea that a deal would be a move against Nvidia, and nothing reported explains how the price splits between video and optimization, as there has been no announcement, no disclosed terms, and no regulatory filing.

What the Decart Talks Mean for Amazon’s Investment Case The Decart talks change little about Amazon’s investment case. That case rests on AWS revenue of $42.2 billion, up 36.7% year over year in the second quarter, plus a backlog of $496 billion.

The stock trades at a forward P/E of 24x. The average analyst target of $331.53 stands well above the October 12 close, which suggests analysts expect AWS growth to have the shares regardless of Decart.

If the talks produce a deal, Decart would give Trainium useful software support. If they collapse, Amazon would still have its existing customer relationship with Decart, so the downside for shareholders looks limited.

Watch whether Amazon announces a signed agreement before its next earnings report and whether it discloses Trainium adoption figures on that call. No deal and no new Trainium customers would weaken the case that Trainium can compete with Nvidia.

NVIDIA and Reflection AI talks Neutral Sentiment: Analysts and commentators remain divided: some argue triple-digit growth makes NVDA reasonably valued and see further upside, while others point to technical signs of a potential peak, a roughly $5.5 trillion valuation, and concentration risk in AI-related equities. Negative Sentiment: Microsoft said it plans to rely increasingly on its internally developed Maia chips for AI inference, potentially reducing its dependence on NVIDIA GPUs and intensifying competition from hyperscaler-designed silicon. Microsoft to rely more on Maia chips Negative Sentiment: Reports that OpenAI’s annualized revenue may be about $50 billion—below previously cited estimates—have raised questions about AI spending, infrastructure demand and the valuation of AI suppliers. Separately, Firmus’ canceled data-center IPO suggested financing conditions for AI infrastructure could be tightening. Negative Sentiment: Technical analysts warned that NVDA’s retreat from its record high could signal weakening momentum. Investor caution is also reflected in a reported $21 million options position betting the stock falls below $180 by January and continued insider selling, although these signals do not necessarily predict operating performance.

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a leader in next-generation power semiconductors and power delivery solutions, pioneering GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and IVR technologies, today announced its latest 24 kW, 800 V-to-12 V DC-DC power delivery board (PDB), powered by GaNFast™ technology and developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, to support the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem and advance 800 VDC power architectures for AI data centers. The new PDB is planned to be featured on NVIDIA’s AI Factory MGX Wall partner display area at OCP Global Summit 2026.

This latest 24 kW, 800 V-to-12 V PDB extends Navitas’ portfolio of 800 VDC AI data-center platforms, building on the previously announced 20 kW, 800 V-to-6 V PDB developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. These solutions advance the core strategic focus of the Navitas 2.0 transformation to accelerate the replacement of legacy silicon with next-generation GaN and SiC high-power technologies across AI infrastructure, from Grid-to-xPU.

The PDB is capable of delivering 24 kW with a target efficiency of 97% at full load and a power density exceeding 2,000 W/in³, providing power for the entire compute tray. Designed in NVIDIA’s latest 400 mm × 60 mm form factor, the PDB can be integrated onto the compute motherboard as close as possible to the xPUs, minimizing power-delivery losses and supporting high-power demands.

The single-stage architecture converts 800 VDC directly to 12 VDC, eliminating the existing 50 V-to-12 V IBC conversion stage and delivering 12 V directly to the voltage regulator module (VRM) that powers the xPU. This simplified power architecture improves system efficiency and reliability while reducing power losses, board space and overall power-delivery complexity.

The power architecture incorporates 16 × NV6034 (650 V, 18 mΩ) GaNFast™ FETs on the primary side, configured in a stacked half-bridge topology and featuring Navitas’ latest dual-cooled DFN 8 × 8 package.

“The next era of AI will be defined not only by how much compute we can create but by our ability to deliver the power needed to unleash its full potential,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA is breaking the AI infrastructure power wall by reimagining power delivery from 800 VDC to the GPU. This next-generation 24 kW solution demonstrates how GaNFast™ technology can eliminate power-conversion stages, increase efficiency and power density, and bring power closer to the GPU.”

Navitas’ portfolio of 800 VDC AI data-center platforms provides customers with greater flexibility to select the optimal intermediate-bus voltage and VRM architecture for their point-of-load power requirements.

The 800 V-to-12 V PDB is planned to be showcased at the NVIDIA AI Factory MGX Wall partner display area at OCP Global Summit 2026. For more information, please contact your Navitas representative or email [email protected].

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock could reach a $10 trillion market capitalization by the end of the decade, driven by its dominance in artificial intelligence (AI), according to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Based on a market capitalization of approximately $5.54 trillion and a share price of $229.28, Nvidia would need to gain about 80.5% to reach the milestone, assuming its share count remains broadly unchanged.

ChatGPT identified the second half of 2030 as its central estimate, with a potential window between 2029 and 2032. 

At the current share price, Nvidia stock would need to rise to approximately $413.80 to reach the target.

Under different growth scenarios, Nvidia could reach $10 trillion around December 2030 with annual market capitalization growth of 15%, February 2030 at 20%, or July 2029 at 25%. At 30% annual growth, the milestone could arrive as early as January 2029.

Nvidia stock fundamentals 
At the same time, ChatGPT noted that Nvidia’s latest results support the growth outlook. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, ended July 26, the company reported revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year. 

Data-center revenue reached $89 billion, up 117%, while GAAP gross margin stood at 75% and GAAP earnings per share came in at $2.46.

For the third quarter, Nvidia guided for revenue of $108 billion and a GAAP gross margin of approximately 74%, plus or minus 0.5 percentage points.

Meanwhile, analysts project Nvidia’s fiscal 2027 revenue at $411.65 billion, rising to $692.21 billion in fiscal 2028, while earnings per share are expected to increase from $9.31 to $15.91. Reaching the $10 trillion milestone will depend on sustained AI demand and earnings growth. 

Nvidia’s expansion 
Continued AI computing demand could sustain earnings growth as Nvidia expands beyond GPUs into networking, CPUs, and integrated AI infrastructure. 

In August 2026, the company announced plans with Amazon Web Services to deploy an additional two million GPUs across AWS infrastructure. Its next-generation Vera Rubin platform was also ramping into production.

However, these deployments will not translate into immediate revenue. Customer spending, product delivery and adoption will determine their financial impact.

On the other hand, Nvidia also faces risks from slower AI infrastructure spending, competition from AMD and custom chips, China export restrictions, and manufacturing constraints. Combined, these elements could derail the technology giant’s path to $10 trillion.

A $21 million options bet just landed against one of the most valuable companies on earth, and whether it signals a coming crash or something far less dramatic changes everything for Nvidia shareholders sitting on record gains.

A trader recently paid a large sum for the right to sell Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) shares well below their market price. The position was 100,000 put options with a $180 strike expiring January 15, 2027, bought for about $21 million.

A put gives its owner the right to sell shares at a fixed price, so it gains value when the stock falls. Nvidia closed down 0.52% at $229.28 that session, which valued the company at $5.54 trillion.

The day’s largest Nvidia options trade barely moved the stock. For shareholders, the useful question is whether the buyer expects a decline or simply wants protection.

What the $21 Million Buys Exchange data show 101,416 contracts traded in that put, against open interest (contracts still outstanding) of 155,649.

By our own calculation, the premium works out to about $2.10 per share. The strike sits 21.5% below the October 9 close, so the stock has to fall past $180 and far enough below it to cover that cost before the trade makes money at expiration.

The contract also loses value every day as expiration approaches. Its delta of -0.09102 means the market sees only a slim chance that the stock ends below the strike.

Directional Trade or Portfolio Insurance If this is a directional position, the buyer needs a decline of about 22% in roughly three months just to reach the strike.

Hedging is the more common explanation. A fund can buy puts to limit its losses. For a fund holding billions in Nvidia, this means avoiding selling shares and paying taxes; in that case, the premium is simply the cost of insurance with no forecast attached.

The buyer has not been identified, and the trade data cannot show whether the contracts were part of a spread, meaning a combination of options bought and sold together.

Three Downside Trades Across Chips About $270 million of premium is deep in-the-money Micron (NASDAQ:MU) puts expiring June 2028. Plus, there’s more than 180,000 puts against about 50,000 calls in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH) by noon, with $46 million spent on puts and $26 million on calls.

Deep in-the-money puts move closely with the share price, so they work like a synthetic short, a way to profit from a decline without borrowing stock. ETF puts, however, often insure a whole basket of chip holdings and say little about any one company.

Nvidia’s January expiration shows a put-to-call ratio of 3.61, compared with 0.76 across its full options chain.

Why Record Highs Invite Expensive Insurance Nvidia closed at a record $239.24 on October 6, then fell 2.94% on October 8 after a report said OpenAI’s revenue came in below investor expectations. That report raised the question of whether AI spending is driven by real customer demand or by outside funding.

Customer concentration adds exposure. Management said in August that AI labs could account for roughly a quarter of its business next year, with some of that infrastructure backed by Nvidia’s own balance sheet.

The strike still sits above the past-year low of $164.27, which makes the position aggressive but possible.

What Nvidia’s Growth Outlook Means for Shareholders Nvidia’s fundamentals remain strong. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 rose 105.8% to $96.22 billion, and the company guided to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, for the third quarter, excluding China data center compute.

At a P/E of 46x, the stock already assumes strong growth. Management, however, says supply will hold back sales at least through the end of fiscal 2028 because demand runs higher, and heavy put buying can lift the stock when those hedges are unwound.

A single hedge like this one says little about fundamentals. For long-term shareholders, though, record highs are exactly when exit planning matters most, which is the whole subject of our free bubble survivor’s handbook.

The test is the next earnings report, expected November 17, 2026. The bullish case weakens if Nvidia falls short of its $108 billion guidance or closes below CNBC’s reported $180 strike before January 15, 2027.

Microsoft will ramp up use of its homegrown artificial intelligence chips after years of reliance on Nvidia's graphics processing units, as the software giant attempts to bolster its AI stack.

Starting with its third-generation Maia AI accelerator, unveiled on Monday, Microsoft said it will mainly rely on its own silicon to handle incoming requests.

Microsoft's greatest strength in AI has been its Azure cloud, which runs a series of models for clients. Its Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot offer AI-powered services to software engineers and other office workers. And the company develops in-house models, though they've yet to make a big splash in a market dominated by OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.

The emerging opportunity in chips stems from unrelenting demand for advanced processors and a desire in the market for choice. Nvidia's GPUs have been the standard for AI workloads and models, and they fill Microsoft's existing data centers, while also serving to train models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

But as demand keeps growing, the model leaders have embraced a variety of silicon from companies including Amazon, Advanced Micro Devices, Cerebras, Google and, in recent months, Microsoft.

For general-purpose use, Microsoft already taps its own central processing units as well as silicon from Intel and AMD. Finance chief Amy Hood said at a Goldman Sachs conference last month that use of its own chips has helped with "margin improvement over the course of a decade."

Microsoft introduced its inaugural AI chip, the Maia 100, in 2023. It touted the Maia 200 this past January, and CEO Satya Nadella told analysts in July that Maia 200 "delivers 30% better performance per dollar than the latest generation hardware in our fleet" and said it was handling OpenAI models.

Production of the Maia 300 starts in 2027. Microsoft is targeting multi-gigawatt deployments of chips in the Maia family, according to a blog post from Executive Vice President Scott Guthrie. But Alistair Speirs, a general manager, declined to provide a timeline.

"We reserve a little bit of optionality there, because this is an industry that's changing very fast, and we want to deploy the right silicon for the right models that we're using at the right time as well," Speirs said.

Microsoft expects to pack 96 Maia 300 chips into each data center rack, double the number for the Maia 200. The new version can run through up to seven times more AI tokens per rack, with 40% more tokens per megawatt when compared with GPUs.

"We need new architectures that will give us essentially better performance, better use of the power that we have," Speirs said. "You can think of power translating pretty directly into operational cost for something like a data center as well."

Parts of Microsoft 365 Copilot should speed up with Maia 300, said Jim Kleewein, a technical fellow at the company.

In a note distributed to clients on Wednesday, Evercore ISI analysts estimated that Maia will represent about 10% of Microsoft's spending on AI chips by the first quarter of 2027. The analysts recommend buying Microsoft shares.

Nvidia will still be a big part of the equation. CEO Jensen Huang spoke at an event last week where Microsoft announced a Surface laptop containing an Nvidia processor. And when it comes to training models, Microsoft partners with Nvidia and AMD, Speirs said.

Unlike Google's tensor processing units or Amazon's Inferentia and Trainium, Microsoft's accelerators can't be rented by the hour to other companies.

"Nobody has tested them outside of Microsoft yet," said Patrick Moorhead, CEO of advisory firm Moor Insights and Strategy.

Nvidia GPUs are the most sought-after processors in AI, and they're in such demand that the chipmaker's stock climbed to yet another record this week, lifting its market cap close to $6 trillion.

Customers can now shop around for access to the chips at the giant clouds from Amazon, Microsoft and Google, as well as at so-called neoclouds like CoreWeave. They can also go to various online marketplaces or even buy the costly hardware directly.

For Nvidia, it all adds up to unrelenting growth, as management anticipates $108 billion in revenue for the October quarter, which would mark an 89% year-over-year jump.

But the paradox of choice can be a headache for companies needing computing power yesterday.

While cloud infrastructure providers have ranked at the top of Nvidia's customer list for several years, the business is diversifying. Five clients accounted for at least 10% of Nvidia's accounts receivable in July quarter, up from three in January, according to a filing.

Industry research firm SemiAnalysis counted 323 Nvidia GPU providers as of September, up from 209 less than 11 months earlier.

"You're going to see a whole new crop of really, really exciting neoclouds with hundreds of billions of dollars backlog together," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at a Goldman Sachs tech conference in San Francisco last month.

Here's a rundown of the various options for accessing GPUs, and why each might make sense:

HyperscalersMany big companies spend tens of millions of dollars per year on a smorgasbord of cloud services from Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Since the 2022 launch of ChatGPT, companies have increasingly turned to the hyperscalers for GPUs so they can run generative AI workloads.

The top cloud providers come with a reputation advantage. If a software company relies on Amazon and Microsoft for GPUs and other capabilities, it won't need to panic about prospective customers questioning its suppliers.

"When you're talking to enterprises, your subprocessor had better be Azure," said Bindu Reddy, CEO of AI assistant startup Abacus, referring to Microsoft's cloud infrastructure.

In the past year, leading AI labs Anthropic and OpenAI have committed to spending over $500 billion between Amazon and Microsoft, which controlled 59% of the cloud infrastructure market in 2025, according to industry researcher Gartner.

"Hyperscalers are in a good position to show trust to the enterprises because of their 10-plus years of full-stack capabilities," said Gartner analyst Hardeep Singh. But hyperscalers don't always have as many GPUs as enterprises require, he said.

Andy Jassy, Amazon's CEO, told analysts in July that the retailer and cloud pioneer won't be able to serve all the demand it foresees this year.

"I believe this dynamic will also be true in 2027," he said.

Flagship neocloudsIf the hyperscalers were adequate, neoclouds wouldn't be proliferating.

Modal, a startup operating virtual sandboxes where AI agents work independent of main IT environments, went from running on the hyperscalers to signing up with the major neoclouds, and now it uses 25 of them, said CEO Erik Bernhardsson.

"You can get a few hundred GPUs or maybe a thousand, but at our scale, we needed way more GPUs," he said.

The hyperscalers themselves are also chasing the neoclouds. Google and Microsoft have started tapping CoreWeave, even as they all compete with one another.

"Some of the hyperscalers have approached us about taking care of customers they're worried about because they don't have the ability to service those customers when they need it," said Marc Boroditsky, chief revenue officer of Nebius, a Netherlands-based neocloud with operations in the U.S.

Video generation startup Reactor uses GPUs through Nebius and hyperscalers, said CEO Alberto Taiuti. The location of data centers matters, he said, because Reactor wants user-created videos to show up right away. Nebius delivers the specific GPUs Reactor needs, solid customer service and sufficient hardware and software, at a good price, Taiuti said.

The most visible neoclouds can require some upfront payment, and chips might not come online for months, because providers raise funding based on contracts and set up the data center equipment, Bernhardsson said.

It would be difficult for CoreWeave to turn over 10,000 GPUs to a new customer with one day's notice, said Chen Goldberg, an executive vice president. CoreWeave's near-term capacity remains essentially sold out, CEO Mike Intrator said on the company's August earnings call.

Baby neocloudsIf companies want GPUs immediately, they might have to go beyond the name brands. Some neoclouds aren't household names because they target specific countries, which can be viable in certain cases.

"Capacity right now is tight, and your relationships with your suppliers is actually one of the most closely guarded secrets for companies like ours," said Zhen Lu, CEO of Runpod.

Specialist neoclouds can offer more flexibility than the larger GPU clouds, which often require upfront payments and long-term commitments. Some sell so-called bare-metal GPUs, which give customers more control but also require them to manage more of the technical work themselves.

Companies using these smaller neoclouds share the same concerns: When can they get the GPUs, and at what price? Sunny Smith, co-founder and technology chief at Massed Compute, said customers are often willing to commit to capacity when they expect prices to rise.

Bring your ownOracle, one of the world's largest cloud providers, is letting clients bring in their own GPUs. The software maker has more debt than Amazon or Microsoft, and its credit rating is lower so it has less flexibility to go on a GPU spending spree. But it's happy to operate the technology.

"As we're generally able to preserve and improve margins in the case of things like bring-your-own-hardware, the ROIC for those types of structures will be even higher," Oracle CFO Hilary Maxson told analysts on a June earnings call, using the acronym for return on invested capital.

Oracle hasn't disclosed the names of companies that choose this path. John DiFucci, a Guggenheim Securities analyst who recommends buying Oracle shares, said it would make sense for Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia, the top two producers of GPUs, to bring their own to Oracle.

Instead of buying thousands of GPUs, early-stage startups with limited capital can borrow them for hours at a time for less through clouds. And for companies with heavy-duty computing needs, Oracle's new route might be more attractive than building whole data centers. OpenAI committed to spending over $300 billion with Oracle over five years, but it hasn't mentioned anything about bringing in GPUs.

OpenAI declined to comment.

The method might make sense for companies that have the capital to purchase AI chips but don't have enough power, data center space or skilled labor. Like its hyperscaler peers, Oracle works hard to secure all three in healthy quantities.

Tactical dealsAnother emerging option is to cut large deals with firms that have truckloads of GPUs for rent.

SpaceX arranged to turn over excess capacity in separate deals with hyperscaler Google and open-source startup Reflection.

In April, SpaceX agreed to provide Cursor with GPUs and then bought the AI coding startup outright for $60 billion. And in May, SpaceX landed a deal to rent GPUs to Anthropic for $1.25 billion each month through mid-2029. That's more than what most startups can afford.

For SpaceX, though, the numbers work out nicely.

"The current economics have translated into a less than one-year payback on our new capital deployments for compute," Bret Johnsen, the company's finance chief, told analysts in August.

It's not only SpaceX. In July CNBC reported that Meta was working to form a cloud unit that could sell AI computing power.

Going old schoolMeanwhile, companies continue to install GPU-filled servers in on-premises data centers the old-school way as CEOs work to balance capability with cost control.

Revenue nearly doubled in the enterprise and small and medium business parts of hardware maker Lenovo's Infrastructure Solutions Group during the June quarter. "We're seeing more and more enterprises now starting to say, 'How do I bring AI into my four walls?'" said Vlad Rozanovich, a senior vice president.

The hourly spot price for an Nvidia B200 GPU has more than doubled since March, according to data from Ornn, a startup that maintains indexes.

Collaboration software maker Dropbox relies on GPUs in its data centers, CEO Ashraf Alkarmi said.

"If we want to do a lot more, I think our supply chain connections will still be beneficial and a structural advantage," he said.

Everpure, which sells data center storage hardware and software, has acquired its own GPUs, to run open-weight AI models for the company's software engineers, said CEO Charlie Giancarlo.

"In a very dynamic pricing environment, it's always good to have multiple sources that you can go to," he said.

Physical AI is the name Nvidia (NVDA -0.52%) uses for artificial intelligence (AI) that works in the real world instead of onscreen. Picture the software that lets a warehouse robot lift a box, or a car steer itself through traffic. A chatbot just has to write an answer, but physical AI has to see what's around it and then choose what to do.

Rivals want in. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.03%) said on Sept. 28 that it had agreed to buy World Labs, a start-up that makes AI models of 3D spaces and tools for training robots, in an all-stock deal worth around $8.2 billion.

But for Nvidia, physical AI is still a small business in a huge firm. Its automotive revenue was around $2.35 billion over the 12 months through late January 2026 (Nvidia's fiscal 2026), or about 1% of its total revenue of $215.9 billion. Even Nvidia's broader physical AI number, around $6 billion in fiscal 2026, is below 3% of sales.

That doesn't worry me. Actually, I think that's one reason Nvidia is the simplest way for investors to own this trend.

Nvidia already sells to robot and car makersA physical AI system needs a few things. Its AI model has to be trained, which takes racks of powerful data center chips. It helps to practice in a simulated world before it touches a real one. And it needs a computer on board to make decisions in real time.

Nvidia sells into all three. For the on-board part, it has Jetson Thor, a computer made to go in robots, and its DRIVE Hyperion platform for self-driving cars. For training and simulation, it offers open AI models named Cosmos, plus the data center chips that run them.

"Amazon will also adopt our full physical AI stack, Omniverse, Cosmos, Isaac and Jetson to power its fleet of warehouse robots," Colette Kress, Nvidia's chief financial officer, said on the company's fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings call in August.

What's more, the training part might matter most today. Kress also noted that Nvidia's sales of AI systems to auto industry customers for their own facilities hit around $8 billion in the past 12 months.

So, this spending shows up in Nvidia's data center sales, not its car business.

Small, for nowNvidia's automotive revenue (the computers and software it sells automakers for self-driving and other in-car AI) climbed 39% in fiscal 2026. Still, growth slowed sharply as the year passed.

In the fiscal second quarter, automotive revenue was up 69% year over year. But that slid to 32% in the third quarter and just 6% in the fourth, when sales hit $604 million. In short, the in-car business settled at about $600 million a quarter in the last half of the year.

Nvidia no longer reports automotive separately, either. Since the start of fiscal 2027, it's been rolled into a broader category called Edge Computing, along with products like PCs, game consoles, workstations, and robots.

Edge Computing revenue in the second quarter of Nvidia's fiscal 2027 (the three months ending July 26, 2026) was $7.2 billion, up 27% year over year. Management credited the rise to strong sales of workstations and didn't mention robots or cars. Data center revenue, in contrast, was $89.0 billion.

For now, physical AI hardly moves Nvidia's numbers.

What about AMD?AMD's deal shows how seriously rivals take this market. AMD said World Labs should help it design future hardware around how AI workloads are changing, and it expects the deal to close by the end of 2026.

But for investors, the two stocks are valued very differently. AMD's share price is about 41 times its expected 2027 earnings per share, using analysts' consensus estimate. For Nvidia, at around $237 a share as I write this, the number is about 15 times expected earnings per share for fiscal 2028, which ends in January 2028.

At that price, I think Nvidia investors are paying mostly for a data center business that pulled in $89.0 billion last quarter alone. Its physical AI work arguably comes along at little added cost.

Granted, robots and self-driving cars might take years longer to pay off than the excitement suggests. And a slowdown in data center spending could hurt Nvidia much more than anything in its car business. After all, data centers brought in more than 90% of its revenue last quarter.

In the end, for investors who want a stake in physical AI without betting on which robot maker wins, I think Nvidia is the simplest answer. I'd buy the stock today mostly for its data center business. Robots and self-driving cars might add to it later, but I'm not banking on them yet.

A longtime Nvidia director quietly converted a massive block of stock into cash just weeks before the company hit an all-time high, raising a question Jensen Huang's summer of silence makes harder to ignore.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Director Mark Stevens sold 4,236,740 shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) in the third quarter of 2026 for $946,627,633. No other U.S. insider sold as much stock that quarter, and the ranking was published on October 7, 2026.

His last sale was on Sept. 18, 2026, several weeks before the ranking came out. Nvidia fell 2.94% to $230.48 on October 8, 2026. That drop came amid a broad selloff in artificial intelligence chip stocks, set off by concerns about OpenAI’s revenue.

A long-serving director turned a large block of stock into cash over about three weeks. During the same period, management forecast to $108.0 billion in third-quarter revenue and said demand was running ahead of supply. The filings look like a trim. The stake Stevens still owns, from a very large holding he has had since Nvidia’s venture-capital days, supports that view.

Three Rounds of Selling Ended in Mid-September From Aug 31 to Sept 2, 2026, Stevens sold 1,848,501 shares at about $220 to $226. He then sold 1,022,239 shares on Sept. 3 and 4 at $227.25 to $234.04, the highest prices of the three sales. The last round came on Sept. 18, when he sold 1,366,000 shares at about $219.40 to $220.42, the lowest prices of the three.

All sales went through a family trust. A trust holds assets for beneficiaries, so selling inside one often relates to estate planning, taxes, or family payouts. As a director, Stevens must report those sales.

His filings did not indicate a pre-arranged trading plan, unlike several others on the quarterly list, and a pre-arranged plan, known as a Rule 10b5-1 plan, sets the timing or size of future sales in advance.

What Stevens Still Owns Matters Most Stevens still holds about 27.5 million shares directly and through trusts. At the October 8 close, those shares were worth roughly $6.35 billion, so he has reduced his position while keeping most of it. He also sold about $407 million in June, bringing his total since early summer to roughly $1.35 billion.

His shares date back to Nvidia’s earliest years. He was a director from 1993 to 2006 and returned to the board in 2008. He was also a managing partner at Sequoia Capital, an early Nvidia investor.

He Outsold Every CEO on the List While Huang Sold Nothing Second on the list was Jayshree Ullal, chief executive of Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET), with $446.0 million. Michael Intrator, chief executive of CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), sold $347.2 million, and Jeff Bezos sold $346.5 million of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang made no open-market sales over the summer, and if insider trades signal conviction, Huang’s choice to hold while a director’s family trust sold deserves more weight.

Stevens also sold while the stock was near its highs. Nvidia set a record close of $239.24 on October 6, 2026, and the company was worth about $5.57 trillion at the October 8 close.

Why Nvidia’s Growth Outweighs These Insider Sales Nvidia’s fundamentals remain strong, and these filings don’t change that picture. Revenue for the fiscal second quarter was $96.221 billion, up 105.85% from a year earlier.

Management forecast third-quarter revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. It also said supply will remain a bottleneck at least through the end of fiscal year 2028. The stock trades at about 46 times earnings, a price-to-earnings ratio that this level of growth supports.

Two forecasts pose the biggest risks. Management expects business from AI labs that Nvidia helps finance to make up roughly a quarter of the company’s business next year, and it expects gross margins to bottom at 71% to 72% in the fourth quarter.

Two things could weaken the case for owning the stock. Third-quarter revenue in the next earnings report could come in below the $108.0 billion midpoint of guidance, or new Form 4 filings (the forms insiders file with the SEC to report trades) could show Huang selling on the open market. Until one of those happens, Stevens’ sales do not change the case for owning Nvidia.

Nvidia sits at $5.70 trillion today, but a specific calendar date, a single earnings report, and one supply-constrained growth target could determine whether it crosses a threshold no company has ever reached.

This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) has a path to close above a $10 trillion market capitalization by January 31, 2028, the last day of its fiscal 2028. This morning its market cap is $5.70 trillion, so the stock needs to gain 75.5%.

On 24,147,000,000 shares outstanding, that works out to about $414 per share. An early test comes with the Q3 fiscal 2027 earnings report, expected after the close on November 17, 2026. The company has not confirmed that date yet.

$10 Trillion Takes Only 26x Next Year’s Earnings The average analyst estimate for fiscal 2028 EPS is $15.6951, drawn from 53 analysts. A $414 share price works out to about 26x that figure. Today the stock trades at about 25x forward earnings, so the target needs NVIDIA to deliver earnings growth.

It needs almost no help from a higher multiple. Estimates are also rising: the fiscal 2028 consensus was $12.7102 90 days ago, and it has since rose 23.5%. Over the past 30 days, analysts made 42 up revisions and zero down ones.

Supply Caps Management’s 70% Growth Guidance Q2 revenue came in at $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year and ahead of the $92.07 billion estimate. Data Center revenue reached $89.02 billion. For fiscal 2028, management expects revenue growth of about 70% and called that outlook supply-constrained.

CEO Jensen Huang put it this way: “At this moment, we have supply for 70%. Our demand is much higher than that.” Q3 guidance is $108 billion ± 2%, and that figure includes no China Data Center compute revenue.

Vera Rubin Raises Revenue Per Gigawatt to $40 Billion NVIDIA earned about $18 billion per gigawatt with Hopper and $25 billion with Blackwell. With Vera Rubin, that figure rises to $40 billion. Management expects Vera Rubin to account for about 20% of Data Center revenue in Q3.

Existing and planned OpenAI commitments come to roughly 12 gigawatts of NVIDIA computing capacity. Spending is rising across the industry too: management expects the top five hyperscalers to spend nearly $800 billion on capital projects in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027.

What to Watch on November 17 Revenue at or above the $108 billion guidance. Non-GAAP EPS compared with the $2.4733 consensus. The company has beaten estimates for 5 straight quarters. Gross margin within the forecast 74% ± 50bps. Management expects margins to bottom at 71% to 72% in Q4. Any update to the fiscal 2028 growth target of about 70%. Days sales outstanding, which rose to 60 days from 45, and supply obligations of $279 billion. If NVIDIA misses the January 31, 2028 deadline, the likely reasons are a supply chain already running flat out or memory costs eating into margins. Even so, analysts keep raising earnings estimates and demand still tops supply, so the $10 trillion target remains within reach.
