BofA: Nvidia's $500B Financing

> NVDA Underwrites Value, Not Debt: NVDA has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with six top financiers (Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR) to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital via independent platforms. The financial burden sits with the consortium rather than NVDA's balance sheet.

> GPUs as an Investable Asset Class: With $500 billion of capital treating compute as an investable asset class, residual values must hold. NVDA supplies fungible and transferable compute across operators, and CUDA extends its useful life to keep resell/rental rates high and depreciation curves benign.

> Extending the AI Buildout Runway: Funding—rather than demand—has been the primary bottleneck. A $500 billion pool allows non-investment-grade buyers (such as labs, neoclouds, and sovereigns) to secure hardware at attractive rates, de-risking offtake and supporting long-term AI systems Total Addressable Market (TAM) paths.

> Key Debates and Risks Monitored: Notable cautions remain, including the fact that MOUs are not deployed capital (requiring real end-customers paying real money), potential power and regulatory pushback, input-cost inflation, and the opacity/complexity that new financing structures might introduce to AI buildouts.

FINANCIAL TIMES:

- Nvidia is partnering with Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs and others on a massive $500B AI Financing Deal.

- Deal could be announced as soon as today
