"Nvidia Surges as China AI-Chip Access Reopens, Reshaping AI Infrastructure Investments"
Market Reaction to China AI-Chip Access Reopening Boosts Nvidia and AI Infrastructure Stocks
Over the past 48 hours, the approval of Nvidia's H200 AI chip exports to China has positively impacted Nvidia's share price and market outlook, signaling a shift in AI infrastructure investment dynamics and export control risks. These developments reflect increased capital flow into AI hardware and data center markets.
Recent OSINT indicates that US approval of Nvidia's H200 AI chip sales to China, with a 25% US revenue share, has eased key export restrictions and reduced uncertainties surrounding China’s AI demand, influencing investor sentiment and market valuations.
Nvidia's stock rose approximately 2% intraday following the export approval, demonstrating immediate market confidence in higher medium-term data center revenues and reduced export-control risk premia associated with China demand.
Nvidia’s quarterly data center revenue of $51.2 billion, representing a 66% YoY increase, establishes a revenue base from which incremental China H200 sales could further compound, considering data centers account for around 90% of Nvidia’s total revenue.
With Nvidia’s market capitalization recently exceeding $5 trillion, compared to TSMC’s ~$861 billion and AMD’s ~$195 billion, the re-opening of China demand disproportionately impacts Nvidia as the primary AI infrastructure equity proxy versus smaller peers.
Analyst consensus remains strongly bullish, with 39 of 41 analysts rating Nvidia as a “Buy” and a median 12-month target of $257.66, suggesting approximately 39% upside, reflecting confidence in AI infrastructure growth and the recent China demand re-opening.
Independent forecasts project Nvidia’s stock to reach $233.16 in 2025, $300.14 in 2026, and $318.42 in 2030, implying around 72% upside to 2030, with AI infrastructure spending expected to reach $3–4 trillion by the decade’s end.
The dataset does not specify detailed margin levels or liquidity breakdowns related to Nvidia’s China sales, and forward guidance beyond these figures is not included.
