Nvidia Execs Defend Circular Financing: 'Returns Will Be Excellent'
NVDA sits 36% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
Nvidia's CFO and CEO publicly pushed back on criticism of its circular financing arrangements, where the company invests in customers or guarantees their financing. CFO Colette Kress said the equity returns on invested capital will be excellent, while CEO Jensen Huang called the frontier AI labs 'once-in-a-generation companies' and said he wishes he had invested more. This follows the Q2 FY27 earnings report and comes amid scrutiny over the company's $279B in supply commitments and a $105B guarantee for the Ohio AI campus. The defense signals management's confidence in the strategy, but the market may remain focused on the sustainability of these arrangements.
