Nvidia expands AI financing, infrastructure, and software

Overview

Nvidia is expanding its influence beyond semiconductor manufacturing and into the broader AI software and financing ecosystems. The company is pursuing a $6 billion technology licensing deal with AI startup Poolside to bolster its open-weight AI model development, potentially including a $1 billion investment for an equity stake and the hiring of over 100 engineers for the Nemotron project.

In its second fiscal quarter of 2027, ending July 26, 2026, Nvidia reported record-breaking revenue of $96.22 billion, a 106% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by the Data Center division, which recorded $89.0 billion in revenue—a 117% increase compared to the previous year—supported by the rollout of Blackwell Ultra infrastructure and the transition toward its next-generation Vera Rubin platform. Net income for the quarter rose 126% to $59.69 billion. As of early September 2026, Nvidia’s market capitalization has climbed toward $5.5 trillion, with the company representing approximately 8% of the S&P 500 index.

To support massive scale, Nvidia introduced NVHBM, a new memory architecture. The company is also making strategic investments to bolster the ecosystem, including a $125 million Series B funding round for Spanish photonics startup IPronics to scale optical switching technology for data centers. To expand its AI infrastructure, Nvidia announced a $3.5 billion investment in Taiwanese chip designer MediaTek via convertible bonds. This ten-year collaboration, Nvidia’s largest direct investment outside the United States to date, involves MediaTek adopting NVLink Fusion technology for its XPUs to enable custom AI chip integration into Nvidia’s data center systems. Nvidia is also working with Amazon’s Annapurna Labs on scaling architecture to establish its hardware platforms as industry benchmarks.
