NVIDIA Wins China Sales Approval: Will H20 Chip Deal Boost Growth?

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA has received approval to sell its H20 artificial intelligence (AI) chips in China after signing a deal with the U.S. government. This marks a significant development for the company's growth prospects. Under the terms of the agreement, NVIDIA will pay 15% of total revenues from H20 sales in China to the U.S. government. While this revenue-sharing condition may slightly impact margins, the deal opens a valuable door to one of the largest AI markets globally. NVIDIA's H20 chips are designed to meet U.S. export control rules while still offering strong AI computing capabilities. China is a major consumer of advanced chips for applications in data centers, cloud computing and AI development. NVIDIA had faced a sales setback in the region due to tightened U.S. restrictions on high-end chip exports. NVIDIA had estimated the restrictions to cost it $8 billion in H20 lost sales to China in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. In the first quarter, it had reported losing $2.5 billion in H20 chip sales in China. However, the latest approval will help the company re-enter the market legally and competitively. We believe the deal could help NVIDIA recover lost market share in China and boost its global revenue base. The AI boom in China, driven by large tech companies and government-backed projects, could create steady demand for H20 chips. Although the 15% revenue payment may weigh slightly on profitability, the larger volume of sales could offset that impact over time. The latest arrangement with the U.S. government could strengthen NVIDIA's presence in China and boost revenue contribution from the country, which dropped 13% in fiscal 2025 from more than 21% in fiscal 2023. Access to the Chinese market will support its overall revenue growth and maintain its position as a leader in AI chip technology. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 revenues indicates year-over-year growth of 52.2%. How NVIDIA's Rivals Compete in AI Chip Market NVIDIA's major competitors, Advanced Micro Devices AMD and Intel INTC, are also stepping up their capabilities in the AI chip market. Advanced Micro Devices is witnessing growing adoption for its MI300X GPUs. Several hyperscalers are testing AMD's solutions as alternatives to NVIDIA's Blackwell, especially in cost-sensitive or specialized AI workloads. Advanced Micro Devices is also building a strong software stack to grab more customers. Intel is focusing on both CPUs and AI accelerators to grab a market share in the data center space. The company is promoting its Gaudi 3 AI chips as a low-cost option for training and inference. Intel is also working with major cloud providers to expand the adoption of its AI hardware. NVIDIA's Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Shares of NVIDIA have risen around 36.4% year to date against the Zacks Computer and Technology sector's gain of 13%. From a valuation standpoint, NVDA trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 36.66, higher than the sector's average of 28. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NVIDIA's fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings implies a year-over-year increase of approximately 42.5% and 32.5%, respectively. Estimates for fiscal 2026 have been revised upward in the past 30 days, and there have been upward revisions in the past seven days for fiscal 2027.

Trump's unusual Nvidia deal raises new corporate and national security risks, lawmakers and experts say

U.S. President Donald Trump upended decades of U.S. national security policy, creating an entirely new category of corporate risk, when he made a deal with Nvidia to give the U.S. government a cut of its sales in exchange for resuming exports of banned AI chips to China. Historically, the U.S. government made decisions to control the export of sensitive technologies on national security grounds. Those decisions were viewed as non-negotiable; if a technology was controlled, companies could not buy their way around those controls, no matter how lucrative the foregone foreign sales. On Monday, Trump raised the prospect of ending that era, saying he would allow Nvidia to sell its H20 chips to China in exchange for the U.S. government receiving a 15 per cent cut of the company's sales of some advanced chips in that country. He made a similar deal with Nvidia's smaller rival AMD. He also told reporters he was open to allowing Nvidia to sell a scaled-down version of its current flagship Blackwell chips to China. Months earlier, his own administration had banned the sale of H20 chips to China, reversing the decision in July as part of what the government said were negotiations on rare earths. The latest move drew condemnation from U.S. lawmakers in both parties who warned that it risked creating a pay-for-play framework for the sale of sensitive technologies to U.S. adversaries, a concern echoed by analysts and legal experts. 'Export controls are a frontline defense in protecting our national security, and we should not set a precedent that incentivizes the government to grant licenses to sell China technology that will enhance its AI capabilities,' said U.S. Representative John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Select Committee on China. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, the ranking Democrat on the same committee, said that 'by putting a price on our security concerns, we signal to China and our allies that American national security principles are negotiable for the right fee.' To be sure, the Trump administration has said the national security risks of resuming H20 sales are minimal because the chip was sold widely in China. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick last month described the H20 as Nvidia's 'fourth-best chip' in an interview with CNBC. He said it was in U.S. interests for Chinese firms to keep using American technology. Legal? But the deal is extremely rare for the U.S. and marks Trump's latest intervention in corporate decision-making, after pressuring executives to invest in American manufacturing and demanding the resignation of Intel's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, over his ties to Chinese companies. It is unclear whether Trump's move is legal. The U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from levying taxes and duties on articles exported from any state. Trade lawyer Jeremy Iloulian said it is hard to tell if this would be considered an 'export tax' or some other form of payment without knowing more about the agreement. 'Up until today, there has never been a consideration of how much companies need to pay to receive an export license,' Iloulian said. Added Kyle Handley, a professor at the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy: 'It sure looks like an export tax to me ... they can call it whatever they want. It really looks a lot like the government is skimming a little bit off the top.' When asked if Nvidia had agreed to pay 15 per cent of revenue to the U.S., a company spokesperson said, 'We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets.' 'While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide,' the spokesperson added. A spokesperson for AMD said the U.S. approved its applications to export some AI processors to China but did not directly address the revenue-sharing agreement and said the company's business adheres to all U.S. export controls. ⁠'I think it's fair to say that everything now in this administration seems negotiable in ways that were not the case before,' said Sarah Kreps, a professor at the Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University. 'I don't think this is unique in that this will be the last kind of deal like this that we see.' 'Slippery slope' Equities analysts said the levy could hit margins at chipmakers and set a precedent for Washington to tax critical U.S. exports. 'It feels like a slippery slope to us,' said Bernstein analysts, who expect the deal to cut gross margins on the China-bound processors by five to 15 percentage points, shaving about a point from Nvidia and AMD's overall margins. 'Naturally, not only chipmakers but also companies selling other strategic products to China will wonder if the remittance model could apply to their industries,' said Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager at Gabelli, which holds shares in Nvidia. 'For sellers of strategic products to China, remittance could be a burden - or a lifeline to preserve market access to huge and growing opportunities in China,' Susanto said.

Canadian farmers reel as China blocks top canola seed market

Canadian farmers are reeling from China's decision to impose hefty duties on their canola seed, after the surprise move spooked grain buyers into halting purchases and stoked worries there will be little demand for crop deliveries this autumn. China hit Canadian canola seed imports with preliminary 75.8% duties on Tuesday following an anti-dumping investigation, escalating a year-long trade dispute. Grain buyers reacted by yanking their bids to buy crops in the next few months, said Dale Leftwich, the policy manager for SaskOilseeds. 'It throws everything into confusion,' said Leftwich, whose organization represents oilseed growers in Saskatchewan. 'It's a huge hit.' China is by far Canada's biggest canola seed market and will not be easy to replace, canola trade experts told Reuters. Canada exported almost C$5 billion ($3.63 billion) of canola products to China in 2024, about 80% of which was seed, and the steep duties would likely all but end those Chinese imports if they are maintained. Futures prices fell as much as 6.5% on Tuesday, hitting a four-month low at one point, and some traders said prices could fall further if the Chinese tariffs linger. China did not say on Tuesday how long the duties would last. A permanent decision on tariffs was expected for September but the preliminary duty had some wondering whether the timeline might be extended. Farmers sell their crops to local grain elevator companies who temporarily store the grain, before loading it onto trains and then ships for export to overseas markets like China. Grain elevator companies are worried they will not be able to ship out canola seed that they buy from farmers, so are unlikely to buy more until they have a clear sense of what will happen, traders said. Farmers are wondering how they are going to pay the bank and cover bills, said Saskatchewan farmer Chris Procyk, who was having an early morning coffee with his wife when he received a flood of texts and emails about the Chinese trade action. With the Canadian canola crop maturing and within days or a few weeks of harvest, selling the crop quickly is vital for farmers who need to cover bills for expensive inputs like fertilizer that they bought on credit. 'This is the worst possible time,' Procyk said. (Reporting by Ed White)
