According to @StockMKTNewz, citing the Financial Times, Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have reportedly agreed to remit 15% of revenues from H20 chip sales in China to the U.S. government, which is the core term reported by the Financial Times and relayed by @StockMKTNewz. Based on the 15% figure reported by the Financial Times as relayed by @StockMKTNewz, the arrangement mechanically reduces top-line proceeds from those specific China H20 sales by 15%, implying a direct headwind to pricing flexibility and margins on that product line relative to no revenue share, as the percentage comes from the Financial Times report relayed by @StockMKTNewz. For traders, the reported revenue-sharing structure concentrates policy risk in China AI-chip revenues for NVDA and AMD and elevates headline risk around export-control updates, according to the Financial Times report relayed by @StockMKTNewz. The report relayed by @StockMKTNewz from the Financial Times does not mention cryptocurrencies or digital assets, so any crypto-market impact is indirect at most and not specified by the source, according to the Financial Times as relayed by @StockMKTNewz.
