Shares ofNvidia(NASDAQ: NVDA) sank on Monday following reports that the chipmaker was in discussions to guarantee financing for a colossal data center project

The costs of the AI buildout boom are mounting
Nvidia is in talks to provide a $250 billion financial guarantee for a 10-gigawatt data center project in Ohio
One of Nvidia’s largest customers, artificial intelligence (AI) model builder OpenAI, is reportedly attempting to lease the site, which is being developed by a subsidiary of Japanese investment giant SoftBank
Nvidia is also reportedly evaluating a separate deal to finance OpenAI’s purchase of its AI chips, which could amount to another $350 billion
Red flags are waving
News of these potential financing deals is making investors increasingly uncomfortable
So-called circular financing deals occur when a supplier helps its customers pay for goods or services that they might not otherwise be able to afford
At first, these arrangements can boost the supplier’s sales. But over time, the supplier becomes increasingly tied to its customers’ fate
That’s a legitimate concern for Nvidia and its shareholders. Despite its stunning growth, OpenAI remains deeply unprofitable. And competition among AI model developers intensifies by the day
