Aletheia Capital cut Nvidia from Buy to Hold and withdrew its $340 price target. The firm's concern is not chip demand but $165 billion in AI financing commitments tied to Nvidia's AI Computing Partner program.
Aletheia Capital has cut its rating on Nvidia from Buy to Hold. The firm also withdrew its price target of $340 on the chipmaker.
According to the report, the reason is not weak demand for chips. It is the money Nvidia has committed to help its customers buy them. Analyst Stefan Chang pointed to $165 billion in AI financing commitments tied to the AI Computing Partner program.
Commitments concentrate in one Ohio project
The downgrade landed on November 9, 2026. According to the research, the $165 billion figure represents a more than tenfold increase in commitments.
A large share traces back to one project. About $105 billion of the commitments is associated with a major data-center project in Ohio.
Partners may need more capital
Chang's analysis names CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN, which may collectively require as much as $124 billion over the next 12 to 15 months. Scaling estimates in the research suggest total financing needs across Nvidia's ecosystem could reach $450 billion to $500 billion by 2030.
A reversal from earlier in 2026
Aletheia upgraded Nvidia to Buy in February 2026 with an initial price target of $250. In May 2026, it raised the target to $270, citing optimistic demand forecasts.
The firm has also downgraded other companies, including Dell, citing competitive dynamics stemming from Nvidia initiatives.
A Hold rating signals caution rather than a Sell. Progress on the Ohio project is one signal to watch, and so is the fundraising activity of Nvidia's partners over the next 12 to 15 months.
