The Korea announcements deepen that case by tying Vera Rubin, DSX software, and HBM4 memory into multi-gigawatt deployments. The biggest near term catalyst remains hyperscaler and sovereign AI capex, while key risks include export controls, customer concentration, and whether AI data centers hit power or regulatory limits.

Among the recent moves, the US$500.00 billion plus partnership with SK Group, anchored by SK Telecom’s planned 2 gigawatt Vera Rubin DSX AI factory, looks most relevant. It underlines how quickly NVIDIA is scaling into utility sized compute, in a way that could amplify both its upside from global AI infrastructure demand and its exposure to any slowdown in large customer spending or constraints on advanced memory and manufacturing capacity.

NVIDIA's narrative projects $676.2 billion revenue and $363.6 billion earnings by 2029. This requires 38.7% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about $204.0 billion from $159.6 billion today.
