Nvidia's AI Sector Equity Investments Surge Past $90 Billion in Latest SEC Filing

According to its quarterly SEC filing, Nvidia’s equity investments across the artificial intelligence sector have grown sharply over the past year as the chipmaker expands financial backing for its customers and partners. [1]

In its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 26, 2026, Nvidia reported marketable equity securities of $42.783 billion and non-marketable securities of $51.157 billion. [1]

The year-earlier filing for the quarter ended July 27, 2025, showed publicly-held equity securities of $3.199 billion and non-marketable equity securities of $3.799 billion. [1]

The most recent quarter's marketable and non-marketable equity lines are each individually more than ten times their counterparts from a year earlier. [1]

Nvidia’s non-marketable equity securities are primarily stakes in privately held companies, and the balance for those private holdings stood at $47.898 billion as of July 26, 2026. [1]

During the first half of fiscal 2027, the company recorded $31.005 billion in net additions to non-marketable equity securities alongside $7.504 billion in unrealized gains on them. [1]

Separately, the filing disclosed that Nvidia held $3.3 billion of investments in infrastructure financiers accounted for under the equity method as of July 26, 2026. [1]

Those equity-method investments deemed to be variable interest entities carried a maximum loss exposure of $4.7 billion. [1]

The monumental expansion in Nvidia's investment portfolio reflects a deliberate strategy to financially back the companies building on its hardware. While the public equity holdings grew significantly, the $31 billion in net additions to private non-marketable securities during the first half of fiscal 2027 demonstrates an aggressive focus on emerging startups and early-stage AI partners. By allocating billions to infrastructure financiers, the company is directly securing the broader demand ecosystem for its computing resources. What the sources don't address: exactly which private AI companies or specific infrastructure financiers received the bulk of these multi-billion dollar capital injections.
