Nvidia’s AI growth outlook faces a power and financing test
  • Nvidia reported Q2 revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, and projected approximately 70% revenue growth for FY28 despite memory supply constraints.
  • SB Energy, an AI power infrastructure company backed by SoftBank, OpenAI and Nvidia, filed for an IPO; its data-center business had generated no revenue and none of its data centers were operational as of the filing.
  • SB Energy reported roughly $3.2 billion in net losses for H1 2026 and identified dependence on OpenAI, outside financing, community opposition and slower hyperscaler capex as key risks.
  • The cluster reinforces the scale of the AI capex cycle while highlighting execution, power availability, financing and customer-concentration risks beyond Nvidia’s chip sales.
