Higher prices for computer memory and increasingly expensive loans, with interest rates that have recently risen to their highest levels since 2007.
Nvidia's customers are borrowing huge amounts for expansion, and many analysts worry about an AI bubble if the increasingly expensive investments do not pay off.
Make packages
Many of Nvidia's deals are bundled with packages where customers get help with financing. A package was recently announced with several major banks and investors, worth $500 billion - all so that AI customers can afford all the data centres being built around the world.
"We joke internally that we're all Nvidia analysts now," David Lefkowitz, head of equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, told The Wall Street Journal.
Although many of its customers are not yet making much money from their investments, Nvidia's results are steadily rising towards the stars. Ahead of its second-quarter report, revenue is predicted to have doubled to $92 billion, nearly SEK 900 billion, compared with the same period last year.
Doubled profit
According to analysts' forecasts, profits are also predicted to have doubled to the equivalent of 500 billion kronor, writes The Wall Street Journal.
The chip giant also always beats forecasts. And although it has been said before in previous reports, Nvidia's sales figures may be extra important this time in the wake of this summer's stock market turmoil over the continued ravages of the AI boom.
Lower-than-expected sales would quickly fuel concerns that customers would find it more difficult to finance their gigantic investments.
The figures will be released at 10 p.m. on Wednesday evening, August 26, after the Nasdaq stock exchange closes.
