Why NVIDIA H100 Rental Prices Are Rising Again

The recent spike in NVIDIA H100 rental prices shows that the AI compute market remains volatile rather than oversupplied. Despite increased GPU availability, demand is being driven by year-end budget spending, creating temporary but intense surges in usage. The market is increasingly split between low-cost “neoclouds,” which offer cheaper but less reliable capacity, and hyperscalers, which charge premium prices for stability and integration. The main constraint is no longer GPU supply but power and grid capacity, with electricity and cooling costs now embedded in rental pricing. Meanwhile, delays in deploying NVIDIA’s next-gen Blackwell (B200) chips keep H100s in high demand as the current workhorse, preventing prices from falling in a normal hardware cycle.

In case you missed it... This just happened: "Samsung increases NAND prices by 100%"

Estimates were 33-38% Q/Q growth - Trendforce This is an absolute shock. It's called the "Memory Supercycle" for a reason with $MU, Samsung, and SK Hynix + $SNDK. In simpler terms: That extra 65% increase (from 35% to 100%) is pure, added high-margin profit. If $MU guided for 68.0% gross margins Q2 2026, and we see a 100% NAND hike from 33-38% est, that could bring gross margin projections over 73-75%+. This is a blowout.
