  • Nvidia invested $2b in cloud provider CoreWeave, deepening their AI infrastructure partnership to support large scale "AI factory" buildouts.
  • The companies are targeting more than 5 gigawatts of AI focused data center capacity by 2030 to serve rising enterprise AI demand.
  • Nvidia also introduced Earth-2, an open AI weather prediction platform aimed at real world use cases across energy, finance, and logistics.

NasdaqGS:NVDA last closed at $186.47, with the share price up 57.5% over the past year and showing a very large gain over five years. In that context, a $2b equity stake in CoreWeave and the Earth-2 launch both extend Nvidia's role beyond chip design into broader AI infrastructure and platforms. For investors, these moves illustrate how Nvidia is involved across the full stack of AI compute, from hardware to cloud level deployment.

The planned buildout of over 5 gigawatts of AI factories by 2030 points to sizeable ongoing infrastructure needs if enterprise AI workloads continue to grow. Earth-2, as an open weather AI platform, may also attract interest from sectors such as utilities, commodity traders, and logistics providers, giving investors additional aspects to monitor beyond core GPU demand.
