Nvidia's supplier commitments for AI chips and systems hit $279B in Q2, up from $119B in Q1
↗
Nvidia's commitments to component suppliers for its AI chips and systems reached $279B in Q2, more than doubling from $119B in Q1 and up from $50.3B in Q3 2025.
The steep ramp in supplier commitments shows Nvidia is using its balance sheet to lock up component supply at a scale competitors likely cannot match, which could constrain rivals' access to the same suppliers. The Wall Street Journal notes this strategy carries downsides, though the available material does not specify what those are.
