Nvidia被报道拥有庞大AI投资组合并新增Vera/Groq LPX早期客户，但缺少可交易业绩增量

Malone put all the stakes into one unit of TCI called Liberty Media, which got spun out of the company after he sold TCI to AT&T in 1999. Many of the stakes became enormously valuable, as some of the cable channels turned into big businesses (Discovery ended up as Warner Bros. Discovery, for instance). Malone and his lieutenants have parlayed the portfolio into many different public companies through constant dealmaking.

It’s not clear that Nvidia’s Huang is as much of a financial engineer as Malone (few CEOs are). And there’s no guarantee the portfolio will retain its value: It could end up mostly worthless. But that seems unlikely. Nvidia’s investments range from stakes in public companies such as SpaceX, Nebius and CoreWeave—each of which is a loyal buyer of Nvidia chips (as we [saw again today](https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/nvidia-announces-new-customers-vera-cpu-groq-lpx-racks?rc=9byxri))—to stakes in private firms such as OpenAI and Perplexity. In some cases, the investments buttress the financial strength of buyers of its chips (that’s obviously true for CoreWeave and Nebius, for instance). Some recent investments, such as one in AI model [maker Poolside](https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/nvidia-reportedly-pay-6-billion-licensing-hiring-deal-ai-model-startup-poolside?rc=9byxri), are helping Nvidia develop its Nemotron AI models, we noted.

We’ll likely get an update on the size of its private investment portfolio when Nvidia reports its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday. We know it’s sizable: As of March 31, Nvidia had $42.3 billion in private companies, it has reported in securities filings. As for the public stakes, Nvidia revealed in a securities filing earlier this month that as of June 30 its equity stakes in publicly traded companies such as SpaceX and CoreWeave were worth $63 billion, up from $18.4 billion at March 31. The difference was due both to increases in the value of stakes in companies such as Intel and CoreWeave and to the first-time inclusion of Nvidia’s $21 billion stake in SpaceX.

Spinning off the investment portfolio into a separate company, as Malone did with Liberty, would give investors a way of getting direct exposure to a wide range of AI firms and enhance Huang’s dealmaking prospects. Just a thought!

### Shein’s Value Collapse

When Singapore-based fast-fashion online retailer Shein goes public in Hong Kong next week, it will become apparent just how much its valuation has dropped since 2022. Its IPO filing, available on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s website, shows that its projected IPO price of around $6 will be well below where it has sold shares in several rounds since 2022.

At Shein’s high point, early that year, the company was valued at $98.2 billion. It sold shares for the equivalent of $23.72. The following year, when it was valued at $64 billion, it sold new shares for $15.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration’s elimination of the de minimis loophole—which had allowed Shein to import items worth less than $800 each into the U.S. without paying duties on them—has slammed its business. U.S. sales fell 14% in the first quarter, while overall sales grew only 1.1%. Shein’s IPO valuation is expected to be about $26 billion, quite the comedown from 2022.
