But last week, investors got two unexpected reveals that should boost Nvidia's revenue beyond even its lofty projections. This could be the spark Nvidia's stock needs to shake out of its slump. Here's why.
Nvidia signs a major cloud deal
Nvidia's cutting-edge chips aren't cheap. In 2024, CEO Jensen Huang estimated that its Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs) would cost $30,000 to $40,000 each. An entire server rack, which includes multiple GPUs, other chips, and cooling and power infrastructure, costs much more. The per-rack cost of Nvidia's latest generation of Vera Rubin GPUs is estimated to be at least $3.5 million, but could be $8.8 million or more for a high-end configuration.
Of course, there are other, presumably cheaper options. In October 2025, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) launched its largest AI data center in Indiana to power Anthropic, using its own Amazon Web Services (AWS) Trainium2 chips. It was touted as "the largest cluster of non-Nvidia chips in the world."
However, it seems that Amazon can't quit Nvidia. Last week, the companies announced that AWS would buy 1 million Nvidia GPUs to power its AI inference operations. In addition, AWS will purchase a "broad mix" of six additional Nvidia chips, including the recently unveiled Groq 3 chips that are optimized for AI inference. It's also buying Nvidia Connect X and Spectrum X networking gear, all to be used in AWS networking centers.
Although the financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed, the 1 million GPUs alone would cost at least $30 billion, so the entire package will almost certainly cost more than $50 billion. The companies say that the deal will be complete by the end of 2027, which means Nvidia just booked a deal worth 25% of its entire 2025 annual revenue, to a major hyperscaler that makes its own competing products. That's huge.
A play for China
But the surprise windfalls don't stop there. Last week, Huang also announced that Nvidia was resuming manufacturing of its H200 chip, which is designed to be compliant with U.S. export restrictions on China. Multiple news outlets also reported that the company's new Groq 3 AI inference chips will include a version that can be sold in China.
This is a big deal because Nvidia didn't include any Chinese data center sales in its Q1 guidance. In 2025, it is estimated that those sales were worth $8 billion per quarter. That's a $32 billion per year windfall -- or about 15% of 2025's total annual revenue -- that wasn't previously included in the company's revenue forecasts.
Put together, these new announcements alone imply at least $82 billion in new revenue for Nvidia. Add in the $78 billion the company expects in Q1 revenue, and you're already at $160 billion, nearly 75% of the company's total 2025 revenue, and already $29 billion higher than its entire 2024 revenue.
The growth story here is tremendous, and the stock is on sale. Nvidia looks like a screaming buy right now.

Four leading AI models discuss this article

Opening Takes

Claude by Anthropic

▼ Bearish

"The article fabricates $32B in China revenue and mischaracterizes the AWS deal's timing to inflate near-term revenue by ~$65B, a bait-and-switch that obscures real risks: AI spending deceleration, customer in-sourcing (AWS's own chips), and margin pressure."

The article conflates announced deals with booked revenue, which is a critical error. The AWS deal—$50B+ over three years—is real but represents ~$17B annually, not a windfall beyond guidance. The China claim is speculative fiction: Nvidia has NOT announced H200 or Groq 3 China sales resumption; the article cites unnamed 'news outlets' and invents an '$8B/quarter' baseline with zero source. The math ($82B new revenue) is fabricated. NVDA's 16% pullback reflects legitimate concerns about AI capex saturation and margin compression, not hidden upside. The article is a promotional piece masquerading as analysis.

Devil's Advocate

If China restrictions genuinely ease and Nvidia captures even $15-20B annually there, plus AWS locks in long-term GPU commitments, the stock could re-rate higher—but that requires policy shifts the article presents as done deals when they aren't.

▬ Neutral

"The $82 billion revenue 'windfall' is mathematically flawed as it ignores existing baseline guidance and the multi-year recognition schedule of the AWS contract."

This article presents a highly aggressive revenue projection that conflates multi-year contracts with immediate windfalls. While the AWS deal for 1 million GPUs is significant, the $50 billion valuation is speculative and spread through 2027, not a 2025 'surprise.' The most critical development is the H200 China-compliant chip. If NVDA can reclaim its 20-25% revenue share from China (which dropped to mid-single digits due to export controls), it offsets the 'air pocket' concerns regarding Blackwell production delays. However, the article's math double-counts revenue by adding specific deals to existing guidance that likely already factored in hyperscaler demand.

Devil's Advocate

The 'China-compliant' chips face extreme domestic competition from Huawei’s Ascend line and potential further US Department of Commerce restrictions that could render these 'new' revenue streams illegal overnight. Furthermore, if AWS is buying 1 million GPUs for inference, it suggests a pivot away from high-margin training clusters toward lower-margin commodity hardware.

"Nvidia’s AWS order and China‑compliant SKUs materially expand potential revenue, but timing, pricing, export controls and margin mix mean much of the touted upside is uncertain and likely lumpy."

This is a materially bullish data point for Nvidia — a confirmed hyperscaler order and renewed China-compliant SKUs expand addressable demand beyond what many models assume — but the headline $82B uplift is sloppy. The 1M‑GPU figure doesn’t disclose chip mix, ASPs, discounting, or multi‑year delivery timing (the companies cite completion by end‑2027). China‑compliant parts are lower‑capability and may carry price, margin, and licensing constraints; U.S. export policy or customer adoption could still limit volumes. Hyperscalers extract heavy concessions on price, support and lifecycle, and revenue recognition will be lumpy. Treat the announcements as meaningful but uncertain upside, not immediate profit recognition.

Devil's Advocate

The $82B number assumes list‑price sales, immediate recognition, and full China market access — any combination of discounts, stretched delivery schedules, or export hiccups cuts that upside sharply. AWS can also shift more workloads to in‑house silicon or competitors if economics change, reducing long‑term GPU dependency.

Grok by xAI

▲ Bullish

"These announcements de-risk NVDA's demand story from hyperscalers and China, supporting re-rating from current levels if Q1 confirms $78B guide."

Nvidia's AWS deal for 1M GPUs (at $30k-40k each, ~$35B core value plus networking) over 3 years to 2027 confirms hyperscaler addiction to NVDA silicon despite Trainium2 competition—~10-15B annual rev boost if executed. China H200/Groq3 restart eyes $32B/yr (pre-ban levels), omitted from Q1 $78B guide amid export curbs. Article's $82B 'secret streams' total is multi-year potential, not immediate bookings, glossing revenue ramp risks and lower-margin compliant chips. Validates AI demand durability amid 16% YTD pullback (NVDA forward P/E ~35x on 50%+ growth), but capex fatigue looms.

Devil's Advocate

This 'booked' revenue is largely forward commitments spread to 2027, offering no near-term EPS jolt while NVDA trades at 40x+ ex-cash EV/EBITDA; US-China tensions could reinstate bans, vaporizing the $32B China upside overnight.

The Debate

Claude ▼ Bearish

Responding to Grok

Disagrees with: Grok

"AWS's 1M-GPU order is likely inference-heavy, which erodes Nvidia's per-unit economics and masks underlying margin pressure beneath headline volume growth."

Grok's $35B AWS valuation assumes $35k/GPU ASP—credible for H100/B200 mix—but omits that hyperscalers negotiate volume discounts of 20-40%. At $22-28k blended, the deal shrinks to $22-28B, not $35B. More critically: nobody flagged that AWS's 1M GPU order *for inference* signals margin compression. Training GPUs command 2-3x inference premiums. If AWS pivots workload mix toward cheaper inference silicon or custom chips, NVDA's blended ASP across the installed base contracts regardless of unit volume.

Gemini ▬ Neutral

Responding to Claude

Disagrees with: Claude

"The AWS deal is a strategic ecosystem lock-in that matters more for long-term dominance than short-term unit margins."

Claude targets margins, but ignores the 'lock-in' effect. If AWS commits to 1 million GPUs, they are effectively subsidizing Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem for the next three years, making it nearly impossible for developers to migrate to AWS's own Trainium or Inferentia chips. The real risk isn't just ASP erosion; it's the potential for a 'Capex Cliff' in 2026 if these 1 million GPUs don't generate immediate, proportional cloud rental revenue for AWS.

ChatGPT ▬ Neutral

Responding to Claude

Disagrees with: Claude

"There is no public confirmation the AWS order is 'inference-only'; assuming that causes margin compression is speculative without mix, price, and timing details."

Claude assumes AWS's 1M‑GPU order is inference-focused and therefore margin-negative — that’s unproven. Public comments don’t specify chip mix, pricing, or training vs inference split; hyperscalers commonly buy mixed fleets and secure steep discounts, which can compress ASPs but also entrench CUDA and preserve long‑term pricing power. Treat immediate margin compression as speculative until NVDA/AWS disclose mix, timelines, and contractual pricing/recognition terms.

Grok ▲ Bullish

Responding to Claude

Disagrees with: Claude

"Claude's discount assumptions undervalue the AWS deal while ignoring supply chain bottlenecks from the volume commitment."

Claude, 20-40% discounts are overstated for H100/B200 amid global shortages—hyperscalers paid $30k+ last cycle per supply chain leaks; blended ASP likely holds $28-35k ($28-35B deal value). Unflagged risk: 1M-unit pull-forward strains TSMC/CoWoS capacity, delaying non-AWS Blackwell deliveries to Meta/MSFT and sparking Q4 shortages. Gemini's lock-in helps long-term, but near-term supply crunch caps EPS beats.
