Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 27, 2026, 9:41 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.
The US government has given the green light for about 10 Chinese companies to purchase Nvidia’s H200 AI chips. The catch: none of them have actually received any.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer disclosed on May 15 that export controls on semiconductors weren’t a major talking point during his discussions with Chinese officials in Beijing. He characterized any potential purchases of H200 chips by Chinese firms as a “sovereign decision,” a diplomatic way of saying the ball is in China’s court.
The approvals, the surcharge, and the silence
The list of approved buyers includes Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance, JD.com, Lenovo, and Foxconn, each eligible to purchase up to 75,000 H200 units.
The approved sales come with a 25% surcharge and mandatory security reviews.
As of mid-May 2026, not a single H200 has crossed the Pacific to any of these approved buyers.

A policy pivot, not a policy reversal
These approvals represent a notable shift from the previous approach under the Trump administration, which initially operated under a blanket denial policy for advanced chip exports to China. The current framework moves to case-by-case evaluations of export licenses.
By calling it a “sovereign decision,” Greer placed the emphasis squarely on China’s own strategic choices rather than on US restrictions. The Chinese Communist Party has been aggressively promoting domestic semiconductor production, with Huawei’s Ascend line of AI chips receiving particular focus, and Beijing encouraging its tech giants to source domestically whenever possible.
What this means for investors
Up to 750,000 H200 units across the approved Chinese firms would represent a massive order book, but an approval that never converts to a shipment is worth exactly nothing to the bottom line.
Investors should watch for two signals: whether any H200 shipments actually occur in the coming months, and whether China’s domestic chip capabilities, particularly Huawei’s next-generation offerings, show meaningful performance improvements.
