Nvidia has recently announced substantial investments, including a $2 billion stake in Synopsys and commitments totaling over $18 billion to Nokia, Intel, and Anthropic. The company's financial strength has grown considerably, with $60.6 billion in cash and short-term investments by late October, a significant jump from January 2023.
This financial transformation, driven by the success of its AI chips, positions Nvidia as a major investor.
