Using prior $2B–$5B H20 upside guidance as a baseline, I model H200 net upside of roughly $3.75B–$15B if Nvidia Corporation absorbs the full fee. If NVDA splits the 25% fee with Chinese hyperscalers via pricing increases, I see net upside rising to about $4.37B–$17.5B per quarter. Even though my model is a very rough estimate, it shows that the NVDA stock upside is material.
