Nvidia's mammoth financing plan has opened a debate on Wall Street about how much its advanced chips and the infrastructure around them are worth. The answer for banks and investors seems to be: Not as much as Nvidia thinks.
Some lenders want higher guarantees than the company had originally outlined, even for Nvidia's industry-leading AI processing power, as they try to calculate how long the revenue from its chips will last, banking sources and credit managers told Reuters, some requesting anonymity.

Hoping to run the London Marathon in 2027? Well the schedule for next year's two-day event was decided by a game of rock-paper-scissors involving the marathon world record holder and 2026 men's champion Sabastian Sawe, organisers said.
Kenyan Sawe, who became the first man to run a sub-two hour marathon in a record-eligible race as he finished the 2026 London race in one hour 59 minutes and 30 seconds, lost out to fellow champion and women's wheelchair record-holder Catherine Debrunner.
That ensured the traditional Sunday was reserved for the women's elite and wheelchair races. The men's races will be held the day before, on April 24.
