- Amazon is reportedly in discussions to invest up to $10 billion in OpenAI, with a possible requirement for OpenAI to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) Trainium chips.
- Major AI-related stocks such as Broadcom, NVIDIA, and Super Micro Computer Inc. saw share price declines following the investment news, as investors worried about reduced reliance on chips from Nvidia and Broadcom.
- Despite the selloff, some market participants described current AI stock prices as cheap, encouraging buying activity among retail investors.
- Online sentiment among retail traders varied, with a bullish outlook on Broadcom, neutral views on Nebius, and bearish feelings toward Nvidia over the past day.
Amazon is reportedly in advanced talks to invest as much as $10 billion in OpenAI, with a significant aspect of the agreement involving the adoption of AWS Trainium chips by OpenAI. These Trainium chips are Amazon’s own Artificial Intelligence (AI) hardware, designed to compete with chips from major suppliers such as Nvidia and Broadcom. The specifics of the possible deal remain fluid and could involve an investment exceeding $10 billion, according to recent reports.
After the news emerged, key AI sector stocks declined in value. Shares in Broadcom were down 6%, Super Micro Computer Inc. fell by 4%, and Nvidia shares dropped about 3%. Investors appeared concerned that if OpenAI commits strongly to Amazon’s in-house chips, its future demand for Nvidia and Broadcom products could decrease, affecting the broader AI semiconductor market. While Super Micro Computer Inc. does not manufacture chips, it provides essential supporting hardware for chipmakers. Nebius, meanwhile, offers large-scale access to high-performance GPUs from Nvidia, enabling companies to run and train demanding AI models.
Despite the market selloff, some investment voices believe publicly traded AI stocks are now undervalued. “Publicly traded AI stocks are cheap now,” stated Ross Gerber, President and CEO at Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, emphasizing potential buying opportunities.
On online trading platform Stocktwits, sentiment analysis revealed strong bullishness among retail investors for Broadcom, a positive but less intense attitude toward Super Micro Computer Inc., and more muted, bearish sentiment surrounding Nvidia. Nebius sentiment remained neutral.
Retail traders responded to the price drop by increasing positions in AI-related stocks. One user noted they were adding shares in Nvidia, Oracle, and AMB, while starting a new position in Broadcom. However, some users expressed disappointment about the lack of a traditional year-end market rally. Despite recent losses, Broadcom has gained 39% year-to-date, and Nvidia is up 28%.
