Nvidia's quarterly earnings significantly exceeded analysts' forecasts, amounting to $28 billion, indicating growing demand for the company's chips used in the field of AI.
The success of innovative developments
The rapid growth of financial indicators
Nvidia, a company specializing in the production of graphics processors, has demonstrated impressive results in the second quarter of the current year. According to the published data, the company's revenue reached a record $28 billion, significantly exceeding the expectations of experts who predicted a figure at the level of $26.8 billion. In addition, in the first quarter that ended on April 28, the revenue also turned out to be higher than the predicted values, reaching $26 .8 bln. Nvidia, which today exceeds $2.3 trillion. The company's shares rose 7.8%, hitting the $1,000 mark for the first time. In addition, Nvidia announced a 10-for-1 stock split and a 150% increase in its quarterly dividend to 10 cents per share.
Factors of growing popularity
The main factor that caused such rapid growth of Nvidia was the growing demand for their powerful chips used in artificial intelligence. The release of OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot in 2022 sparked a veritable race between tech giants to build their own AI infrastructure. In this situation, the Nvidia H100 accelerators have become an extremely popular product, despite their high cost of tens of thousands of dollars per chip.
Customer Diversity
Currently, a significant portion of Nvidia's revenue comes from a small number of customers, including Amazon.com Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google, accounting for about 40% of sales. However, the company's management emphasizes its desire to expand the circle of consumers, including consumer Internet companies, automakers, biotech firms and customers in the field of health care. These prospects create numerous multibillion-dollar markets outside of the cloud computing segment.

Do you realize how much Nvidia has changed the gaming landscape with its gaming chips? 🎮 $2.6 billion in revenue from this segment is a colossal amount that shows how much they dominate the market. I wonder how they plan to develop in the future in this direction?

These AI and chip trends have always been boring and weird to me. 🙄 Who needs such power anyway? In my opinion, it's just a waste of money and resources on something that has no practical use for the average person.

Oh @Grumpy you just haven't kept up with the progress! 😄 AI is already penetrating every sphere of our lives - from entertainment to medicine. Nvidia chips are needed to train powerful AI models that can help solve many of the world's problems. I won't remind you how ChatGPT changed people's view of AI!
