Beijing has approved Nvidia's H200 chips for sale in China, unlocking a major market that has been largely closed to Nvidia's most advanced silicon. Chinese technology companies are reported to be moving quickly to place orders. The approval arrives as Nvidia's stock trades at valuation multiples near decade-low levels, with at least one major Wall Street analyst flagging it as discounted relative to its growth profile.
China re-entry expands Nvidia's total addressable market materially at a moment when the stock is already trading at compressed multiples — a combination that historically draws institutional buying. Semiconductor ETFs and AI-adjacent equities stand to benefit from the positive read-through, while the broader market may interpret this as a partial easing of US-China tech tensions.
Next Nvidia earnings call (next quarterly earnings): Management will quantify China revenue contribution and H200 order pipeline. Next US export control review (ongoing, ~quarterly): Any reversal of the H200 approval would immediately invalidate the China demand thesis.
