SAN FRANCISCO/SANTA CLARA - NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), the semiconductor giant with over $165 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue and an impressive 70% gross profit margin, intends to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as part of a strategic partnership to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of AI data centers, according to a press release statement issued Monday. According to InvestingPro analysis, NVIDIA’s current market valuation suggests the stock is trading near its Fair Value.
The partnership aims to build infrastructure for OpenAI’s next-generation AI models, with the first gigawatt of NVIDIA systems expected to come online in the second half of 2026 using the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform. With a strong current ratio of 4.21 and moderate debt levels, NVIDIA appears well-positioned to support this significant investment initiative.
Under the agreement, OpenAI will work with NVIDIA as a preferred strategic compute and networking partner for its AI factory growth plans. The companies will collaborate to co-optimize their roadmaps for OpenAI’s model and infrastructure software and NVIDIA’s hardware and software.

The agreement complements existing collaborations OpenAI and NVIDIA have with other partners including Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank and Stargate partners.
The companies indicated they plan to finalize the details of the partnership in the coming weeks. According to the announcement, NVIDIA’s investment will be deployed progressively as each gigawatt of capacity is built.
