Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang has been lobbying for a long time for the ability to export advanced semiconductor chips to China in the face of opposition from both Washington and Beijing. It appears a breakthrough might have been made.
Nvidia's Jensen Huang told reporters on Thursday that U.S. President Donald Trump "asked" him to come on the China trip. Initial indications suggested Huang would not be part of the trip, but it was announced on Tuesday that he would join the summit.
Nvidia should continue to benefit from robust, supply-constrained AI GPU demand, as evidenced by recent developments. TSMC raised its AI accelerator revenue CAGR forecast to 56–59%. Hyperscaler capex and AI infrastructure commitments—Microsoft, Google, Meta, AWS—underscore sustained, broad-based demand for AI solutions.
Nvidia stock (NASDAQ: NVDA) has remained a market favourite after hitting another all-time high this week, extending the chipmaker's golden run on Wall Street. Yet Jensen Huang's appearance in Beijing alongside US President Donald Trump's state visit is a reminder that, for all the enthusiasm around artificial intelligence, one of Nvidia's most important strategic problems has not gone away: China.
The U.S. has cleared around 10 Chinese firms to buy Nvidia's second-most powerful AI chip, the H200, but not a single delivery has been made so far, three people familiar with the matter said, leaving a major technology deal in limbo as CEO Jensen Huang seeks a breakthrough in China this week.
"People have correctly stayed the course" by looking at earnings, says Michael Landsberg, noting the strength U.S. muscled for the rest of the markets. He talks about how there's much more than Nvidia (NVDA) for investors to scoop up in the AI trade.

Nvidia Corporation remains a top AI beneficiary as hyperscaler CapEx guidance surges to $725 billion, far exceeding prior estimates. NVDA's suppliers, SK hynix and TSMC, report explosive growth, signaling persistent AI chip demand and supporting higher revenue and margin forecasts. The updated DCF model raises NVDA's fair value to $301.89 per share, reflecting increased revenue growth and EBIT margin assumptions.
