NVIDIA's $3.5B MediaTek Bet and $35B Anthropic Cloud Deal Signal Aggressive AI Expansion
NVDA sits 34% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
NVIDIA is making aggressive moves across the AI stack. The company invested $3.5B in MediaTek convertible bonds to deepen collaboration on AI, local computing, and automotive, granting NVLink Fusion access and advancing joint products like RTX Spark and DGX Spark. Separately, NVIDIA backs a $35B Anthropic cloud deal, holding the lease on a Texas data center where Lambda will deploy NVIDIA chips to add ~350 MW capacity for Claude AI. ARK's purchase of 243,707 shares (~$53–55.6M) after the blowout Q2 report (revenue $96.2B, +106% YoY; Data Center $89B, +117%; guidance ~$108B) adds institutional validation. The revival of the Rubin CPX accelerator with production start in Q1 2027 signals continued roadmap momentum despite export restrictions. These moves reinforce NVIDIA's position as the backbone of AI infrastructure, though China export rules remain a key risk.
