Nvidia’s AI financing push brings new credit risks, Morgan Stanley says

Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Nvidia (NVDA) with a neutral view, citing risks from its AI financing activities. The bank notes Nvidia's balance sheet strength is being used strategically but introduces new risks not captured by conventional metrics. Morgan Stanley forecasts $200 billion in credit exposure by 2028, with leverage metrics remaining favorable. The bank advises patience due to overhang from guided GPU and XPU-related financing.
