Nvidia Takes $1B Stake in Naver, Partners on AI Data Center
NVDA sits 26% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
Nvidia acquired $1 billion in shares of South Korean e-commerce firm Naver as part of a broader investment partnership to build a new data center. The deal, buried in a broader market roundup, signals Nvidia's deepening push into Asian AI infrastructure. This follows a string of major partnerships, including a multi-year agreement with IREN for up to 5 GW of AI infrastructure announced in May. The Naver investment adds a new dimension—tying Nvidia directly to a major consumer internet platform in a key market. With Nvidia's market cap above $5 trillion, the $1 billion stake is modest but strategically significant, potentially locking in long-term demand for its chips. Watch for further details on the data center's scale and timeline, which could amplify the impact.
