The rally followed NVIDIA's (NVDA.US) stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings report released after Wednesday's U.S. market close. The company reported Q3 revenue of $57 billion, up 62% year-over-year, surpassing market expectations. Net profit reached $31.9 billion, a 65% increase, with GAAP gross margins at 73.4%.
NVIDIA's data center business, its core revenue driver, achieved a record $51.2 billion in Q3 sales, up 66% year-over-year and exceeding forecasts.
Notably, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang addressed concerns about an AI bubble during the earnings call: "There's a lot of talk about an AI bubble, but from our perspective, the situation is fundamentally different from the dot-com era. AI is transforming existing workloads, and we don’t see evidence of a bubble."
Huang also revealed strong demand for Blackwell chips, stating, "Sales of Blackwell chips have far exceeded expectations, and cloud GPUs are completely sold out. Compute demand—whether for training or inference—is accelerating exponentially. We’ve entered a virtuous cycle for AI."
