NVDAAccording to the Wall Street Journal, Nvidia is now considering a guarantee of less than $120 billion for the 10 GW data center project in Ohio, significantly lower than the previously discussed amount of up to $250 billion. The company plans to guarantee only the first phase of the project, while OpenAI continues negotiations to lease the entire facility. This adjustment appears to be driven by Nvidia's efforts to mitigate financial risks amid investor apprehensions. Additionally, Nvidia is exploring an investment of up to $3 billion in SB Energy, the division constructing the data center, with potential plans for an IPO of this unit.
The revised guarantee indicates Nvidia's cautious approach to large-scale infrastructure commitments, potentially affecting investor confidence and project financing strategies.
