Nvidia (NVDA) shares traded flat in early morning trade on Wednesday, keeping the stock on track for a third consecutive monthly gain, after the company announced a new data-center software deal and reports surfaced about early discussions to shift some AI infrastructure financing risk to insurers.
Engineering and infrastructure firm Jacobs (J) announced that it has been selected to deploy Nvidia’s Omniverse-based digital twin platform at a large-scale U.S. AI research and development facility under a three-year software-as-a-service agreement (SaaS). The financial terms were not disclosed.
NVDA stock edged up about 0.35% in premarket trading. The shares are up roughly 3% in September so far, putting them on track for their first three-month winning streak of 2026.
Nvidia’s stock has been trading around the $233 to $235 zone, less than 2% below its record closing high of $236.45 reached in May.
Nvidia Expands AI Data Center Software Push
The Jacobs agreement gives Nvidia another way to participate in the growing AI infrastructure buildout beyond supplying GPUs and other computing hardware.
The company said the Omniverse-based digital twin platform will be used for power-load balancing, energy forecasting, liquid-cooling monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operator training.
Digital twins create virtual representations of physical systems, allowing operators to model conditions and test potential changes before applying them to real-world infrastructure.
Jacobs said the platform is evolving towards becoming an “intelligent operating layer,” where AI agents can predict operating conditions, recommend actions and optimize data-center performance.
J stock edged 0.4% higher in pre-market trade, with retail sentiment around the shares on Stocktwits trending in ‘neutral’ territory over the past day.
Nvidia Explores Ways To Shift AI Financing Risk
The news comes after the Financial Times on Tuesday reported that Nvidia has held early discussions with insurance companies about structures that could shift some risk tied to semiconductor financing away from the company and toward insurers and other investors.
The report said one structure under discussion would provide insurance against losses on loans made to newer cloud-computing companies. If a borrower defaults, the insurance would potentially protect lenders if the Nvidia chips pledged as collateral are worth less than the outstanding loan.
Discussions are reportedly in the early stages, with no certainty that a transaction will be completed.
