NVIDIA's $59.69B Q2 Profit Masks $6.3B CoreWeave Backstop and Rising Credit Risk
NVDA sits 32% above its 52-week low of $164.27.
Summary
NVIDIA posted $59.69B in Q2 net income, but operating cash flow of $24.08B implies only ~40% cash conversion, with accounts receivable up $22.35B and $7.77B of equity gains excluded from cash flow. The company is now contractually obligated to buy unsold CoreWeave cloud capacity through April 2032 under a $6.3B contract, effectively backstopping a partner's demand. CDS spreads have widened to roughly 90bps as AI data-center financing costs climb, and shares fell about 3% on the print. The Adobe partnership expansion — integrating NVIDIA AI and RTX Spark into Photoshop, Premiere, Substance 3D and Frame.io — is the offsetting positive, though it is a product-level win rather than a revenue driver at this scale. The CoreWeave obligation and receivables build are the items that matter: they suggest NVIDIA is increasingly financing its own ecosystem's demand, a structural risk if enterprise AI adoption slows.
