Big Tech is increasingly using residual value guarantees for off-balance sheet AI spend, giving Nvidia and Broadcom a way to support their customers' purchases (Financial Times)

Nvidia and Broadcom can use those guarantees to help customers finance chip and infrastructure purchases. The structure shifts part of the risk around future asset values into financing arrangements tied to the tech companies’ backing. Techmeme's note
