Shares of the newly mint “AI” giant rose sharply on Wednesday and after-hours after reporting robust quarterly earnings, which provided a forecast way above expectations. The CEO marked this progress as a transition to the AI world by global businesses.

Key metrics of the earnings

For the July quarter, the company saw earnings per share at $2.70, above Wall Street’s expectation of $2.08. Revenue jumped by 101% annually to hit $13.5 billion, exceeding the $11.2 billion expectation.

Here comes the big bang. The current quarter is expected to reach a revenue of $16 billion, a whopping above $12.6 billion expectation. As the CEO mentioned, ” A new computing era has begun”. Generative AI and accelerated computing will power the next generation of chips and graphics demand.

Chips and Data Centre

Business were rosy as its data centre revenue rose to $10.32 billion, a climb of 141% from the previous quarter or a 171% increase compared to a year ago. It is attributed to a spectacular showing of cloud services operators and large-scale internet companies.

Also, as we understand, Nvidia is a stronghold for chips that are used in AI projects, and thus, it has been a key beneficiary of such generative AI movement.

Start-ups and major corporations have been key supporters of Nvidia’s chips since it has an advanced software programming platform ecosystem known as CUDA, which enables developers to create related AI tools and software libraries for a long period of time. This is indeed Nvidia’s proprietary platform, thus making it easier for the development of AI applications.

The future ahead is rosy.

The CFO, in an interview with Barron’s, also stated that the company will increase its supply of products every quarter throughout the next fiscal year. This also includes adding more vendors and suppliers to build capacity for its advanced chip packaging and memory.

It will be the key catalyst for the company to continue its leadership in a new computing era.
