INSTACART EXPLORES SALE, HOLDS TALKS WITH UBER AND DOORDASH $CART, valued at around $12 billion, is working with an investment bank and has held preliminary discussions with $UBER and $DASH, according to The Information. Interestingly, Instacart previously held talks with DoorDash in 2021 over a potential deal valued at $40B to $50B, but negotiations fell apart. Instacart reported $1.04B in Q2 revenue, up 14%, and generated $480M in free cash flow. No deal is guaranteed, and any acquisition by a major delivery rival could face antitrust scrutiny.

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang says “software licensing will become increasingly a major part of our company’s business.” He said it could cost “about $2,000 per GPU per year” to run NVIDIA’s software for AI agents in these AI factories. So, some napkin math at that price, before discounts: 500K licensed GPUs = $1B in annual revenue. 1 million licensed GPUs = $2B 5 million licensed GPUs = $10B So, hypothetically, NVIDIA could earn billions a year from GPUs it has already sold by selling enterprise software and support to the companies using them. Note: These are illustrative revenue scenarios using Jensen’s pricing example, not NVIDIA guidance or profit estimates.
