Nvidia (NVDA 2.25%) was a $360 billion company at the start of 2023. In less than two years, its market capitalization ballooned to $3.5 trillion. Its ability to turn artificial intelligence (AI) into piles of cash is the driving force behind that incredible growth.
Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) for data centers are the most popular in the world for developing AI, and demand continues to outstrip supply. That propelled the company's revenue to triple-digit percentage growth in each of the last five quarters.
On Nov. 20, Nvidia will release a fresh batch of financial results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter (ended Oct. 31), and if past quarters are any indication, it could be an absolute blowout. Here's how I predict the stock will react once the results are announced.
Nvidia's new Blackwell chips will be in focus
Nvidia's flagship H100 GPU went into production in 2022, and it was the go-to choice for AI data center operators throughout 2023. GPUs are designed for parallel processing, so they can complete several tasks simultaneously with a very high throughput. They also have substantial amounts of built-in memory, which makes them ideal for training AI models and performing AI inference.
AI applications are forecast to drive a productivity boom across the globe, which could be worth up to $200 trillion in economic activity by 2030, according to Cathie Wood's ARK Investment. Tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon are filling their data centers with AI GPUs and renting the computing capacity to developers for a fee. It's a win for them, a win for Nvidia, and a win for the developers who don't have billions of dollars to spend on their own infrastructure.
