Strategic Enablement

Yup, give them $1B so they can build out AI DC’s stocked with $1B of Nvidia chips.

buy in, let them use your money to buy your product back from you, then if you think they'll actually succeed you make money and if not you can slowly dump that stock back onto the market and end up ahead. you've basically manufactured a customer at that point.

Exactly, the risk is extremely small. If they fail, there will be others too, which means that WSBro’s can bundle and derivatives their way into at least a neural exit.

More importantly than gaining a client for Nvidia's AI chips, this investment gives the company a solid foothold in a competitor to Broadcom in the wireless, datacenter and networking solutions space. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia eventually scoops up all of Nokia.

That is what I wish would happen as well.

Except Nokia use Broadcom chips in pretty much all their datacentre and cheapo networking products.
