Investors shouldn’t expect continued growth of this magnitude, but there’s plenty of evidence that Nvidia still has plenty of energy in the tank. Many of the world’s largest technology companies Continue to invest heavily To upgrade their infrastructure to handle the rigors of AI — and for most, that means stocking up on the latest Nvidia processors.
Aside from the obvious secular headwinds, there are important details that investors may be overlooking that could signal a big move for Nvidia in 2025. Read on to find out why.
For Nvidia’s fiscal 2025 third quarter (ending October 27), revenue of $35.1 billion rose 94% year over year, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.81 rose 103%. The results were well above management’s expectations, which called for revenue growth of 79%.
Management was clear about what led to this impressive showing. “The era of artificial intelligence is in full force, driving the global shift to Nvidia computing,” said CEO Jensen Huang.
Digging into the results, this top move was driven by continued strong demand within Nvidia’s data center segment, which grew 112% year over year to $30.8 billion. Much of this revenue was derived from the company’s Hopper architecture, the basis for its H200 Tensor Core GPU, and the GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip – which currently powers many of the world’s data centers and AI infrastructure.
Although these processors are currently the standard, they are about to be replaced by Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, which represents the next generation of its AI-centric chips.
The company is working to increase production of Blackwell processors, and previously said it expects to ship “several billion dollars” of these chips in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which ends in late January.
