They are also a robotics AI company with Omniverse. They are also an AI company with Nemotron. They are also a bleeding edge network equipment company after the Mellanox aquisition.
They stand to make a lot of money if they succeed in every venture. Good for Jensen taking risks and driving innovation, I hope they succeed in chewing even 50% of what they bit off.

This is the inherent downside of such a rapid rise to being the world's most valuable company AND still being considered a growth stock. At their massive scale, the number of new adjacent businesses that have both sufficient size and potential growth is limited.

Anything approaching that is vanishingly unlikely. They're being forced to play the game more like a VC. The question is if a few unicorn winners can offset dozens of losers. The challenge is that, unlike a VC, their bets are much more correlated around AI.
