Video summary
Nvidia recently secured a massive $105 billion financing agreement to support OpenAI's construction of a new data center in Ohio, marking a significant milestone for the tech giant. This deal involves SP Energy building and managing the facility at the Portis Pike Technology Campus, with Nvidia providing up to 4.25 gigawatts of computing capacity initially, alongside an option for an additional 3.75 gigawatts. Although there were earlier reports of discussions involving up to $250 billion in backing, recent filings indicate the final commitment is slightly lower, yet it remains a colossal investment that underscores the immense demand for AI infrastructure. The project is expected to come online in phases by 2028 and will create thousands of new construction jobs through 2032, highlighting how artificial intelligence is driving job creation rather than eliminating them, much like previous technological revolutions did.
Despite this positive news, Nvidia's stock price remained relatively flat on the day, trading near all-time highs but showing a slight dip of about 15 cents. The broader market experienced volatility with major indices like the S&P and Dow declining while the VIX fear index rose significantly, yet AI-related stocks such as Micron, Lam Research, and Coherent still posted strong gains. The speaker notes that while Nvidia's chart looks bullish with a golden cross forming above moving averages, the stock appears somewhat overbought heading into earnings on the 26th. Historically, after such a strong run-up, the stock might soften or experience a drawdown following the earnings report, but the speaker does not expect a crash that would erase all recent gains. As a long-term holder who views Nvidia as one of their top positions, they plan to hold through the earnings event rather than locking in profits prematurely.
The speaker argues that concerns about "circular financing" in the AI sector are largely fear-mongering and do not reflect the reality of limitless demand from hyperscalers like OpenAI. The primary constraint currently facing this rapid expansion is electricity supply, which companies are actively addressing by investing billions into regional grid infrastructure and power sources. This focus on compute as a critical asset class has attracted major Wall Street players like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs, further validating the sector's growth potential. While the speaker is cautious about initial public offerings (IPOs) in general due to their tendency to get overhyped, they are watching SP Energy closely as it aims to go public soon, believing that the fundamental demand for AI data centers supports a bullish outlook for Nvidia even if short-term price corrections occur. Ultimately, the video concludes that the future of AI represents uncharted territory with endless possibilities, and investors should remain focused on the underlying utility of compute rather than getting distracted by temporary market fluctuations or fears of bubbles.

So Nvidia's backing another data center.
It's another Monday on Wall Street,
right guys? This time for Open AI. We're
talking $ 105 billion in financing for
OpenAI and this data center is going to
be in Ohio. So we're going to break down
what's going on, my thoughts, the stock
of course and overall where my head's at
now as Nvidia is a top holding of mine.

You guys know where to find it. And now,
let's dive into it. So, overall, the
market today was all over the place. We
had the VIX go up around 7%. We had gold
and silver move. Bitcoin kind of What
did Bitcoin do? I think it kind of
stayed flat. I actually lost it here on
my watch list, guys. I don't know what's
going on. Bitcoin, uh, actually, no, it
went up 2 and a.5% as every index in the
US market went down, right? The Q's,
Russell, S&P, Dow, you name it. And the
VIX again went up around 6%, which I was
talking about buying calls on the VIX in
my video um, last week, right, which I
didn't do yet. I don't think it's too
late, you know? I think it I think the
VIX potentially could just be starting
to to heat up here, but we'll cover that
in another video because we have to talk
about Nvidia, which ended up staying
flat on the day. Um, actually down a
little bit, about 15 cents on the day
and overall it's still up massively,
right? I mean, Nvidia now is up around
20% off the lows from 2 3 weeks ago, and
I think we might have a little bit more
juice left into earnings. Uh, which
earnings are coming up on the 26th.
That's next Wednesday, guys. Get ready.
Get ready. And listen, we could run a
little more into earnings. But
ultimately, I think after earnings, like
we've seen before, I think Nvidia might
pull back a little bit. Uh, which I
don't think it's going to crash. I don't
think it's going to give back all the
gains from the last couple of weeks, but
it might soften a little bit here, guys.
Pull back um and see some kind of draw
down, which again, it has done that
before. So, with that being said, um
Nvidia chartwise is trading at alltime
or near all-time highs, trading at
multi-week highs. We're above these
moving averages. We have a golden cross.
Bulls are in charge. There's no doubt
about it. But again, it is a little
overbought into the print. Um, and
judging based off history, we we kind of
know what might happen here after
earnings. So, with that being said,
guys, and by the way, I'm long Nvidia.
It's one of my biggest stocks, like I
said, so I'm holding through earnings.
Um, you know, I'm not planning on
selling anytime soon, but yeah, that's
kind of where I'm at there with the
charts. Uh, Bulls are in charge. We're
looking good, but keep in mind what's
been going on uh the last couple of
quarters, right? So, we can see the
headline here. Nvidia is backing $ 105
billion in financing for OpenAI data
center in Ohio. If we come down here a
little bit, here's Jensen. I'm pretty
sure this was in uh Tokyo, Japan back in
July. Uh you know, this was when he was
speaking um at the Japan AI ecosystem
reception in Tokyo. And if we come down
here a little bit, let me see if I can X
out this annoying uh thing at the
bottom. There we go. So, Nvidia will
provide up to $105 billion in financing
for a new AI data center for OpenAI in
Ohio. A securities filing revealed today
on Monday. And the credit will support
an initial 4.25 gawatts of computing
capacity with the option for an
additional 3.75
gawatt. Nvidia [clears throat] will
provide the compute with capacity
expected to come online in phases in
2028. and SP Energy will build and
manage the data center at the Portis
Pike Technology Campus in Pike, Ohio.
And let's see, through a 20-year lease,
oh, yeah, to OpenAI, uh, the Frontier
Lab has a stake in the company, and
OpenAI CEO Sam Olman was an early
investor in SB Energy. And Jensen said,
"We're securing long- lived
infrastructure for NVIDIA compute so
open AAI can deploy the most productive
AI factories that can be upgraded
repeatedly with each new generation,
delivering more intelligence and better
economics. And CNBC recently reported
that Nvidia was in discussions with
OpenAI to provide a backs stop of up to
$250 billion that would let the model
maker raise debt for a 10 gawatt data
center at the Ohio location. Um, and the
Wall Street Journal reported last week
that Nvidia was set to cut that
guarantee to less than $120 billion for
the buildout. And the deal is Nvidia's
latest in a string of financing
maneuvers to support the sprawling AI
data center buildout, which has raised
concerns about circular financing in the
AI trade, which I think that's a bunch
of FUD. Okay, there are valid arguments
about circular financing, but at the end
of the day, the demand for this stuff is
through the roof for these data centers.
the future. You know, we're heading into
uncharted territory, guys. And people
underestimate how much demand
there are for these data centers from
the hyperscalers, right? It's limitless
in my opinion, you know, and yeah, the
the main constraint right now is really
electricity, uh the grid, you know, uh
the the the power supply. And once we
figure that out, this is going to go
through the roof, which is why they're
making it an asset class, which is why
all the the big boys on Wall Street want
their hands on it. You know, the
Goldman's, the the KKRS,
the Black Rocks, Blackstones, you know,
you name it. And we can see if we come
down here a little bit, as part of the
Ohio deal, SP Energy and SoftBank will
build power sources supporting 10
gawatts of energy and invest at least
$4.2 billion into regional grid
infrastructure. Nvidia will invest $1.5
billion in SB Energy. Open uh OpenAI
said the new data center will support
35,000 new construction jobs through
2032 and 2500 long-term position. So no
doubt, you know, we're seeing uh more
jobs be created even though people say
AI's taken all these jobs. Um I feel
like that is, you know, there there is
some truth to it, but people aren't
realizing how many jobs are going to be
created. you know the new industries
that will be created ultimately um from
AI over the next 5 10 15 years things
that we can't even imagine yet you know
will be created what what do you think
happened you know 100 years ago 200
years ago when everybody was a farmer
you know and then things started
changing the industrial revolution you
know times gone by and you know we got
the internet you know we got now AI 30
years later. It's like there new
industries are going to be built um that
that you can't even think about, right?
That that aren't maybe even in existence
yet. You know what I mean? With all this
new technology where we're headed. Um
and that's, you know, compute is so
critical here. And that's why again the
Wall Street guys, the big boys, they're
getting all their hands on it, right?
The asset class, uh which I think is so
bullish for Nvidia. You know, I don't
think it's fully priced in to Nvidia
stock. uh which is why I'm still holding
it, which is why I'm not uh you know
locking in gains on the position yet. Uh
but that's the quick rundown on the Ohio
news. $ 105 billion in financing. Um and
obviously Nvidia is not doing anything
on the news. The stock I mean we're
talking about a $5.5 trillion company,
$5 trillion company, but they did invest
into SB Energy. I don't know if they're
public. Um are they public? They might
be. No, they're they're definitely not.
Uh they're a private subsidiary backed
primarily by um Soft Bank and Open AI.
However, the company is targeting an IPO
aiming to raise at least $5 billion. Oh,
okay. So, they're they're going to go
public. SP Energy is aiming to actually
go public um uh as early as next month,
raising anywhere between five and 7
billion. Um honestly, you know, I'm not
the biggest fan of IPOs, right? I've
said that before. I I'll say it again.
They get overhyped. People get too
excited. They buy, they buy, they buy,
they buy, they push the valuation up. It
doesn't make sense. Uh but who knows?
Maybe a more low-key one like an SB
Energy.
Maybe maybe it will do well and the
gains will sustain. You know, we'll see.
We'll see. Either way, um I'm not the
biggest fan of IPOs, but I am watching
SP Energy when they do ultimately um
IPO, and we'll talk about it here on the
channel, guys. So, I don't want to go
too long on this video. That's pretty
much it. You know, I'm long Nvidia. We
got some good news regarding OpenAI. I
don't think it's a bubble. I think the
demand's there, which is why we're
seeing all this stuff happening. And I
think we'll see a little more green and
Nvidia stock into earnings. Uh but
ultimately I think we will get a draw
down whether it's right before earnings
post earnings I think we're going to get
that draw down uh based on what I've
seen in recent memory in recent history
you know and Nvidia wasn't the only AI
stock that did well today you know we
had Lamb Research up 3 and a.5% Micron
4% GLW 4.5%
uh Coherent crushed it 8% up so pretty
good day for a lot of these names even
though the overall market went down.
