NVDA stock earnings driven by A.I. chip demand

By Andrew Lokenauth

Nvidia $NVDA just reported strong first-quarter earnings, beating analyst expectations on both revenue and earnings per share, and its shares jumped 25% to a new all-time high. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company saw “surging demand” for its products, particularly in the data center and gaming markets. He also said that Nvidia was well-positioned to benefit from artificial intelligence (AI) growth.

Nvidia’s data center business is the primary driver of the company’s growth. The company’s GPUs are used in a wide range of data center applications, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

Nvidia’s strong performance in data centers shows that AI chips are becoming increasingly important for cloud providers and other companies that run large amounts of servers. This trend is likely to continue as more companies adopt AI technologies to improve their operations and gain a competitive advantage.
