TL;DR
- NVIDIA reported another record quarter with $81.6 billion as demand for AI computing power kept growing.
- NVIDIA’s data center business reached a record $75.2 billion with strong demand from cloud and AI companies.
- The company also revealed $43 billion invested in private startups across the AI industry.
The revenue marked a 20% jump from the previous quarter. The company also posted a record $75.2 billion in data center revenue, continuing strong demand for its AI hardware across cloud and enterprise markets.
Following the results, NVIDIA authorized $80 billion in share repurchases. Despite the strong performance, the company signaled that growth may begin to slow slightly, forecasting $91 billion in revenue for the next quarter, which would represent 12% growth. “Our Blackwell architecture is everywhere, adopted and deployed by every major hyperscaler, every cloud provider, and every major model maker,” said NVIDIA CFO Colette Kress.
The company said exports to China did not impact earnings. Kress noted that although H200 chips have been approved for U.S. export, “we have yet to generate any revenue, and we are uncertain whether any imports will be allowed into [China].”
One of the biggest surprises in the filing was the scale of NVIDIA’s investments in privately held companies. The company’s holdings in “non-marketable equity securities” nearly doubled from $22 billion in January to $43 billion by April. NVIDIA disclosed that it made $18.5 billion worth of such purchases during the quarter, compared to just $649 million in the previous quarter.
Topics For More Insights:
The figures do not include NVIDIA’s investments in publicly traded companies such as Corning and IREN. They also exclude future deals that have not yet closed, including NVIDIA’s reported $30 billion commitment to OpenAI earlier this year.
During the investor call, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang also highlighted the company’s growing relationship with Anthropic. “The amount of capacity we’re going to bring online for Anthropic this year and next year is going to be quite significant,” Huang told investors. “Our coverage for Anthropic had been largely zero until this.”
