A major demand signal has emerged as ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have placed a $35 billion order for Nvidia chips, according to Reuters. This validates the underlying demand for AI infrastructure despite the recent softening in AI-related IPOs, such as the 32% plunge of Elice in South Korea. The divergence suggests that while speculative capital is retreating from new AI entrants, established hyperscalers are accelerating deployment. This supports the long-term thesis for Nvidia and the broader semiconductor supply chain, even as short-term sentiment remains fragile.
