**Implied Volatility / Movement:**
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is engaged in discussions to invest as much as $3 billion in SB Energy, a Softbank-backed company constructing a data center in Ohio for Microsoft-backed (NASDAQ: MSFT) OpenAI. The proposed investment is part of broader negotiations where Nvidia would provide credit support totaling $100 billion for the data center project.
According to reports, Nvidia is considering an initial investment of half the $3 billion upon finalization of the Ohio data center deal. The remaining half would be committed as part of SB Energy's planned initial public offering, which is anticipated to raise at least $5 billion.
