Big Take: Unpacking Trump's Unusual Deal With Nvidia

Bloomberg4 days ago
In an unusual deal, Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices have agreed to pay the US government 15% of their revenue from AI chips they sell to China. The US has blocked the sale of other, more powerful chips to China on the basis of national security, but the exception underscores the Trump administration's openness to make exceptions…if the price is right. On today's Big Take podcast, Bloomberg economic statecraft reporter Joe Deaux joins host Sarah Holder to explain the unprecedented nature of the deal, concerns about its legality and how it fits into Trump's approach to trade with global competitors.

Nvidia's $4.5 Trillion Market Cap Tops All 2,000 Russell Small-Caps Combined

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) just hit another mind-bending milestone. The chip giant's market cap has swelled to $4.5 trillion, putting it $1.5 trillion above the entire Russell 2000 index. That means one company is now worth more than 2,000 small U.S. firms combined. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. It's a snapshot of where the market's energy really is. While small-caps grind along, mega-cap tech led by Nvidia keeps sucking up the oxygen. The comparison shows how lopsided the rally has become, with AI demand fueling outsized gains for a handful of giants. Nvidia isn't just dominating in price. It's woven into the core of global investing. The stock sits inside 667 ETFs, which together control nearly 3.6 billion shares. Whether through passive funds or active bets, chances are, most investors already own a slice of Nvidia. That reach makes every tick of its stock ripple across portfolios worldwide. Nvidia isn't just a chipmaker anymore it's become a market-moving force, one whose valuation now rivals entire economies. This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Sign in to access your portfolio

Black Rock Coffee Bar makes US IPO filing public

(Reuters) -Coffee chain Black Rock Coffee Bar made public its paperwork for an initial public offering in the U.S. on Monday. U.S. IPOs have resumed a long-awaited recovery buoyed by successful debuts of several high-profile companies in recent months, which marks a sharp reversal from April when uncertainty around the country's trade policy scuttled all dealmaking. J.P. Morgan, Jefferies, Morgan Stanley and Baird are the lead underwriters for the offering. Black Rock aims to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol 'BRCB'.

U.S. Credit Card Metrics Send Mixed July Signals

Credit card health in the U.S. showed a split picture in July late payments crept up a touch, but the actual losses banks had to swallow moved lower. Delinquencies, which track borrowers falling behind on payments, ticked up to 2.66% from 2.63% in June. Even so, that's still an improvement from 2.87% a year ago and not far from the 2.68% level seen back in July 2019, before the pandemic. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with RGTI. Net charge-offs, or debts written off as uncollectible, slipped to 3.63% from 3.80% the month before and 4.09% a year earlier. The only catch: that's still a bit higher than the 3.59% rate in mid-2019. The pattern holds even when you strip out Bread Financial's (BFH) higher numbers. And Capital One's (COF) latest results now fold in Discover Financial, following their June 2025 deal, so historical comparisons are a little tricky. For investors, the message is clear enough: consumers are showing a few more signs of strain, but banks aren't seeing losses spiral at least not yet. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
