Nvidia shares rise in pre-market trading after Beijing approves the first imports of its H200 AI chips, signaling China’s push to balance AI demand with domestic chip development; the initial batch targets major internet firms, with quotas on foreign purchases, underscoring Nvidia’s leadership in AI accelerators.
China indicated willingness to approve Nvidia’s H200 AI chips for import, but questions remain about performance caps, quotas, and end-use restrictions. Nvidia insiders also sold large blocks in late 2025, while AMD gained momentum and Nvidia’s stock showed limited movement as investors weigh regulatory and geopolitical uncertainties impacting China’s AI-chip opportunity.
Nvidia’s H200 AI accelerator supply chain is disrupted as its parts suppliers halt output after China blocks shipments under export controls, a Financial Times report says, signaling potential delays in data-center chip availability.
China reportedly blocked Nvidia’s H200 AI chips from entering the country even after US export clearance, prompting supplier pauses as officials offer no reasons and no clear indication if it is a ban or temporary measure; the episode underscores ongoing US-China tech tensions and could affect Chinese demand for the chips.
Chinese customs blocked clearance for Nvidia's H200 AI chips, prompting suppliers to halt production of H200 components (notably PCBs) as shipments were delayed; Nvidia had anticipated strong demand in China after U.S. approval, but regulatory ambiguity and Beijing's push for domestic chips have raised concerns, with some buyers shifting to alternative models like the B200/B300 and potential licensing rules likely to shape future access.
China is drafting purchase rules for Nvidia's H200 GPUs, likely including quotas and government approvals to control who can buy them; Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance are eyeing purchases pending these rules, while Nvidia shares rose in premarket trading on the news.
China has blocked Nvidia’s H200 AI chips from entering the country and told domestic firms not to buy them unless absolutely needed, a move that follows U.S. export rules and clouds Nvidia’s China sales prospects. Chinese demand remains strong from players like Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance, but supply is tight (about 700,000 units on hand at roughly $27,000 each). The H200’s significant performance edge over the H20 keeps Nvidia’s China rebound in view, though Beijing’s restrictions add uncertainty. Analysts still rate NVDA as a Strong Buy with an average target of about $264.97, implying roughly 42% upside.
Nvidia is increasing the production of its H200 chips in anticipation of sales to China, according to CEO Jensen Huang.
Nvidia has surpassed Alphabet and Amazon in market capitalization, making it the world’s fourth most valuable company after Microsoft, Apple, and Saudi Aramco. The chip maker's stock is now worth $1.83 trillion, driven by the AI boom and its dominance in AI chips, which power LLMs used by major tech companies. Nvidia is close to releasing the H200, a superior AI chip with more memory capacity and bandwidth, while also investing in a unit to help other companies make custom AI chips. Despite competition from Intel and AMD, Nvidia's position in the AI chip arms race remains strong.
Nvidia has unveiled its latest high-end chip, the H200, designed for training and deploying artificial intelligence models used in generative AI. The H200 is an upgrade from the H100 and features 141GB of next-generation "HBM3" memory, enabling faster performance in generating text, images, and predictions. The chip is expected to ship in Q2 2024 and will compete with AMD's MI300X GPU. Nvidia's AI GPUs have contributed to the company's stock surge, with revenue expected to reach $16 billion for the fiscal third quarter. Nvidia also plans to release the B100 chip based on the forthcoming Blackwell architecture in 2024.
