Nvidia stock slips after report on China H200 payments as jobs data and earnings loom
Nvidia shares fell on Thursday after Reuters reported the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers for its H200 data-center chips, used to train and run AI models. The stock slipped 2.1% to $185.04 in late trading, after hitting $190.28 earlier and falling as low as $183.77. Chinese firms have placed orders for more than 2 million H200s priced around $27,000 each, far above Nvidia’s inventory of about 700,000 units, as local alternatives still lag for large-scale AI training.
