Nvidia stock slips as China buyers face “pay upfront” rule for H200 AI chips

New York, January 8, 2026, 10:31 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares fell about 1.6% to $186.03 on Thursday after two people briefed on the matter said the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers seeking its H200, a data-center processor used to train artificial-intelligence models.

Nvidia stock rises on China H200 upfront-payment squeeze as traders eye approvals and earnings

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 09:38 EST — Regular session Nvidia shares rose about 1% in early trading on Thursday after Reuters reported the chip designer is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese customers seeking its H200 artificial-intelligence chips, tightening terms as Beijing weighs approvals. The stock was up $1.94 at $189.11. Reuters The issue is timing, not appetite. Chief Executive Jensen Huang said this week demand from China for the H200 was “quite high” and that Nvidia had “fired up our supply chain,” but the company is still waiting on export licenses and does not know when approvals will

Intel stock jumps in premarket as 18A ramp talk keeps the turnaround trade hot

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 08:58 EST — Premarket Intel (INTC.O) shares rose 6.4% to $42.63 in premarket trading on Thursday, after ending Wednesday at $40.06. Chip stocks were mixed, with Nvidia (NVDA.O) up about 1% while AMD (AMD.O) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing’s U.S. shares slid around 2%.

Investors have started to treat Intel stock as a vote on whether that

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:41 (EST) — Premarket Nvidia shares rose about 1% to $189.11 in premarket trade on Thursday after sources said the chipmaker is demanding full upfront payment from Chinese buyers of its H200 artificial-intelligence chips. The terms leave customers no option to cancel or ask for refunds once an order is placed, the people said. Reuters The tighter stance matters because China demand is a swing factor for AI stocks that have powered the rally, and policy risk is now showing up in contracts, not just headlines.

Domestic chips such as Huawei’s Ascend 910C still lag Nvidia’s H200 for large-scale training of advanced AI models, they added. Reuters Beijing has asked some Chinese tech companies
