NVIDIA and MediaTek Expand AI Partnership With $3.5 Billion Investment

NVIDIA and MediaTek announced an expanded strategic partnership Monday covering AI infrastructure, local AI computing and automotive technology. As part of the agreement, NVIDIA has invested $3.5 billion in convertible bonds issued by MediaTek.

A key part of the collaboration will see MediaTek adopt NVIDIA’s NVLink Fusion platform, allowing hyperscalers, cloud providers and AI developers to build custom XPUs that integrate with NVIDIA’s rack-scale AI infrastructure.

The move is strategically important as major technology companies increasingly develop custom AI accelerators. NVLink Fusion allows these chips to operate within NVIDIA’s broader infrastructure ecosystem, potentially helping NVIDIA maintain a central role in AI data centers even as demand for custom silicon grows.

The companies are also expanding their work in local AI computing. MediaTek previously collaborated with NVIDIA on the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip used in DGX Spark, and the companies will now work together across multiple generations of RTX Spark and DGX Spark chips for PCs, developer systems and enterprise workstations.

Their partnership also extends to automotive computing, where MediaTek’s Dimensity Auto platforms integrate NVIDIA AI and RTX technologies for intelligent and software-defined vehicles.

The expanded agreement strengthens NVIDIA’s position across AI data centers, custom silicon, AI PCs and automotive computing. For MediaTek, it provides deeper access to NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem while expanding its opportunities beyond its traditional mobile and connectivity businesses.

AWS and NVIDIA Expand AI Partnership With 2 Million Additional GPUs

Amazon Web Services and NVIDIA announced a major expansion of their AI infrastructure partnership, with AWS planning to deploy 2 million additional NVIDIA GPUs across its global infrastructure in 2027 and 2028.

The expansion comes as demand for AI computing continues to accelerate. AWS said the new capacity will include NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra, Rubin and Rubin Ultra GPUs, supporting workloads ranging from agentic AI and scientific computing to enterprise automation and robotics.

The partnership extends well beyond GPUs. AWS plans to introduce infrastructure based on NVIDIA’s Vera CPUs, expand NVLink Fusion integration with Amazon’s Trainium chips, and use NVIDIA’s new high-bandwidth memory technology. The companies also plan to build secure AI factories for the U.S. government, including infrastructure incorporating 100,000 GPUs for federal and national-security workloads.

The agreement further expands NVIDIA’s presence across AWS software and services. Nemotron open models will remain available through Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker, while NVIDIA technology will accelerate data processing, vector indexing and Amazon’s robotics development.

The scale of the commitment is another strong signal that hyperscaler AI infrastructure spending remains robust. For NVIDIA, the planned deployment strengthens visibility for demand extending into the Rubin generation through 2028. For Amazon, it significantly expands AWS’s ability to compete for increasingly compute-intensive AI workloads.

NVIDIA Jumps 7.5% Premarket as AI Demand Drives Revenue Above $96 Billion

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) shares are up about 7.5% in premarket trading after the chipmaker reported another exceptionally strong quarter, with accelerating AI infrastructure demand and a bullish outlook reinforcing confidence in its growth trajectory.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA reported revenue of $96.2 billion, up 18% sequentially and 106% year over year. Data Center remained the dominant growth engine, with revenue reaching $89.0 billion, up 117% from a year earlier.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 120% year over year to $2.22, while non-GAAP operating income surged 124% to $64.0 billion. Gross margin remained exceptionally strong at 75.0%.

The outlook appears to be a major reason for the positive market reaction. NVIDIA expects third-quarter revenue of approximately $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, implying another roughly 12% sequential increase at the midpoint. Notably, that forecast assumes no Data Center compute revenue from China, highlighting the strength of demand elsewhere.

CEO Jensen Huang said AI infrastructure deployment is now “at full steam,” with multiple frontier AI labs, startups, sovereign AI projects and physical AI applications expanding simultaneously. NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin platform is already ramping into full production.

The company is also benefiting from an increasingly broad AI ecosystem. During the quarter, NVIDIA announced infrastructure and technology initiatives involving major cloud providers, sovereign AI projects and a planned financing ecosystem aimed at mobilizing more than $500 billion of third-party capital for AI infrastructure.

The 7.5% premarket gain suggests investors are focusing on three key factors: another doubling of annual revenue, 117% Data Center growth, and guidance showing that NVIDIA's extraordinary expansion is continuing even from an increasingly large revenue base.

For investors, the next major question is whether the Vera Rubin ramp and continued hyperscaler and AI-lab spending can sustain this growth while keeping gross margins near the mid-70% range.

Semiconductor Stocks Fall as China's Chip Breakthrough Pressures Nvidia and the AI Sector

Semiconductor stocks came under pressure on Monday, dragging the Nasdaq lower as investors weighed China's rapidly advancing semiconductor industry against the latest developments in the global AI infrastructure race. Nvidia led the sector's decline, falling more than 4%, while weakness spread across AI and memory chipmakers.

The latest catalyst on the AI front came after reports that Nvidia is in talks to provide roughly $250 billion in financing guarantees for OpenAI's massive AI data center project in Ohio. The proposed 10-gigawatt facility would rank among the world's largest AI infrastructure projects, underscoring the enormous capital being committed to artificial intelligence. While the news reinforces long-term demand for AI hardware, it also highlights the rapidly evolving competitive landscape and the unprecedented scale of investment required across the industry.

Investor sentiment was also weighed down by developments in China. ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), China's largest memory chipmaker, surged more than 400% in its Shanghai trading debut following Asia's largest IPO of 2026. The emergence of another major Chinese chipmaker renewed concerns that global competition in memory and AI-related semiconductors will intensify. Those concerns were particularly significant for Nvidia, whose growth opportunities in China have already been constrained by U.S. export restrictions.

The weakness extended across the broader semiconductor sector. Memory-related companies including Sandisk, Micron Technology, Western Digital, and SK Hynix posted notable declines, while ASML, AMD, Intel, Marvell Technology, Super Micro Computer, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) also traded lower as investors reassessed the industry's competitive outlook.

Despite Monday's selloff, the semiconductor industry's long-term fundamentals remain supported by accelerating AI adoption and record investment in data center infrastructure. However, the combination of elevated valuations, China's rapid technological progress, and an increasingly competitive global landscape prompted investors to lock in profits following the sector's strong rally.

Nvidia Barely Moves in Premarket Despite Historic Quarter as Monster Guidance Already Priced In

Nvidia reported what may be the most extraordinary quarter in semiconductor history yesterday, yet shares edged up just 0.08% in premarket trading — a reaction that speaks volumes about how thoroughly the AI infrastructure bull case has been priced into one of the world's most closely watched stocks.

Revenue for Q1 fiscal 2027 came in at a record $81.6 billion, up 85% year over year and 20% sequentially, beating the consensus expectation of approximately $78 billion. Data Center revenue reached a record $75.2 billion, up 92% year over year, with compute revenue up 77% and networking revenue — a figure that had been less scrutinized — surging 199% to $14.8 billion. GAAP net income tripled to $58.3 billion and GAAP diluted EPS of $2.39 was more than triple the $0.76 reported a year ago. Gross margin expanded to 74.9% from 60.5% a year ago. The company returned a record $20 billion to shareholders in the quarter alone.

The forward guidance was the number the market had been waiting for. Nvidia guided Q2 revenue of $91.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, representing another roughly 12% sequential acceleration and approximately 76% year-over-year growth. Critically, the company stated it is not assuming any Data Center compute revenue from China in its outlook — meaning the guidance stands entirely on non-China demand, a significant reassurance given ongoing export restriction concerns.

The company also announced an $80 billion additional share repurchase authorization and a dramatic dividend increase, raising the quarterly payout from $0.01 per share to $0.25 per share — a 2,400% increase that signals management's confidence in sustained cash generation.

CEO Jensen Huang framed the moment in sweeping terms, describing the buildout of AI factories as the largest infrastructure expansion in human history and positioning Nvidia as the only platform running in every cloud, powering every frontier model and scaling from hyperscale data centers to the edge.

The company is also transitioning to a new reporting framework with two market platforms — Data Center and Edge Computing — reflecting its evolution beyond chips into a full-stack AI infrastructure company. The Vera Rubin platform, NVIDIA Dynamo 1.0 and a broad suite of agentic AI tools underscore that the product roadmap extends well beyond the current Blackwell cycle.

The near-flat premarket reaction is not a sign of disappointment — the results were objectively exceptional by any historical standard. It is instead a reflection of a stock that has already rallied 20% in the past month and trades at a valuation that embeds extraordinary future growth. When a company beats $78 billion estimates with $81.6 billion and guides to $91 billion next quarter, and the stock barely moves, it tells you that the market had already bought the dream. The question now is whether $91 billion in Q2 will finally surprise to the upside of even the most bullish expectations — and whether the Vera Rubin ramp can extend this cycle well into 2027 and beyond.

US Markets Open Cautiously Higher as All Eyes Turn to Nvidia

US equity markets opened in positive territory today, with the S&P 500 up 0.31%, the Dow adding 0.14% and the Nasdaq gaining 0.38%, as investors adopted a measured stance ahead of what is arguably the most consequential earnings report of the season — Nvidia's first quarter fiscal 2027 results, due after the closing bell today.

The cautious optimism comes after two consecutive sessions of declines driven by rising bond yields and geopolitical anxiety. The modest green open reflects a market catching its breath rather than making a bold directional call, with most participants holding their positions ahead of Nvidia's numbers.

Nvidia is expected to report roughly $78 billion in revenue and $1.77 in non-GAAP earnings per share, implying approximately 77% to 78% year-on-year revenue growth. Buy-side whispers run higher, with some sell-side desks modeling closer to $79 billion and the most aggressive houses above $80 billion. Nvidia has beaten the Street every quarter of this cycle, meaning a beat alone is already priced in. What markets will be watching most closely is the Q2 guidance and any commentary on the China export restrictions and gross margin sustainability.

The broader earnings backdrop heading into today is genuinely strong. With approximately one-third of S&P 500 companies reported, the blended year-over-year earnings growth rate stood at 15%, up from 13% expected at the end of March, putting the index on track for a sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth. Eighty-four percent of reporting companies have beaten EPS estimates, with the magnitude of beats averaging 12%, well above the five-year historical average of 7.3%.

Today's earnings slate is also busy, with Target, Lowe's, TJX, Analog Devices and Hasbro among the morning reporters. From the earnings covered over the past two days, CAVA's 9.7% same-restaurant sales growth driven by actual traffic gains and 8x8's first GAAP-profitable fiscal year since 2015 were standouts, while Red Robin's margin improvement and Agilysys' record revenue quarter added to a broadly constructive picture across sectors.

On the macro front, the tension between a strong earnings season and a difficult rate environment remains unresolved. Bond yields have been climbing, with the 30-year Treasury recently crossing 5.18%, its highest level in nearly two decades. Iran ceasefire diplomacy continues to generate daily headlines and oil price swings, keeping inflation expectations elevated and Fed rate cut hopes pushed further into the future.

For today, Nvidia is the market. A strong print with confident guidance could provide the catalyst the broader indices need to break decisively higher. Anything short of that, and two days of bond-driven selling could resume.
