0327 GMT - Nvidia's H200 chip sales to China is insignificant compared to the surge in capex by Chinese internet companies, Citi analysts say in a research note. Nvidia said earlier this week that sales of H200s to Chinese buyers made up less than 1% of its data-center revenue in fiscal 2Q. Citi estimates that those chips would be valued at no more than $890 million, which is "too insignificant" compared to the capex recorded by Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu in 2Q. The Chinese hyperscalers' spending was likely mostly related to domestic GPU procurement as well as global and domestic memory-chip purchases, they say. The bank expects a sequential decline in their 3Q capex despite projecting a significant increase in their total capex budget for the 2026 calendar year.
