Nvidia stock rises premarket as China H200 buyers face stricter upfront-payment terms

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:21 EST — Premarket Nvidia shares rose about 1% to $189.11 in premarket trading on Thursday after the chip designer demanded full upfront payment from Chinese customers for its H200 artificial-intelligence chips, two people briefed on the matter said.

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

  • Aecon Group jumps 17% after landing $4.6B Alberta power deal
    July 3, 2026, 5:54 PM EDT. Aecon Group Inc. (ARE:TSX) stock surged 17% after the company won a contract to build the 932-megawatt Greenlight Electricity Centre near Edmonton. The $4.6 billion project gives Aecon a majority stake and $1.7 billion of work. Raymond James analyst Frederic Bastien boosted his Aecon rating to outperform and took the target to $60 from $51, calling it the firm's largest power infrastructure job in more than 20 years. TD Cowen sees the deal adding $450 million a year in top-line during peak construction (2027-2029), with the stock possibly gaining $8 on the news. Aecon shares have usually traded at a discount, but the new power center could supply a planned data center tied to Meta Platforms. Aecon's 12-month analyst target sits at $54.18 from 11 analysts.
