Market reaction: signals deeper strategic alignment with the leading AI software maker and potential long‑term demand for NVIDIA chips. Nvidia Stock Rises. It’s Nearing $30 Billion OpenAI Investment, Report Says.
• Positive Sentiment: Multiyear supply deal with Meta to deliver millions of Blackwell and upcoming Rubin AI chips (and Vera/Grace CPUs) cements large, multi‑year revenue visibility for data‑center GPUs/CPUs and networking.

• Negative Sentiment: Some high‑profile managers trimmed NVIDIA exposure (e.g., Philippe Laffont, Appaloosa, Mairs & Power) — profit‑taking by large holders can increase selling pressure, especially into earnings. Billionaire Philippe Laffont Sells Nvidia Stock
• Negative Sentiment: Rising ASIC/competitor activity (chip startups raising funding) creates longer‑term competitive risk — a watch item but not an immediate revenue threat. Chip startup Taalas raises $169 million to help build AI chips to take on Nvidia
