Nvidia Revenue Skyrockets 80% Amid Insatiable AI Chip Demand!
Nvidia has once again shattered expectations, posting a staggering 80% revenue surge as demand for AI chips continues to accelerate. The chip-making giant’s latest earnings report for its 2025 fiscal year and Q4, ending Jan. 26, 2025, highlights record-breaking growth driven by the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence.
Record-Breaking Earnings
In its Feb. 26 earnings report, Nvidia announced revenue of $39.3 billion for the quarter—up 12% from the previous quarter and an astonishing 78% from the same period last year. This significantly surpassed Wall Street’s revenue estimate of $37.72 billion. Meanwhile, earnings per share (EPS) hit 89 cents, exceeding the expected 84 cents, according to Zacks Investment Research.
CEO Jensen Huang credited the explosive growth to unprecedented demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell microchip, designed for AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing. During the earnings call, Huang emphasized that “AI is advancing at light speed,” with agentic AI and physical AI driving the next major wave of technological innovation
Data Center Boom Fuels Growth
A major factor behind Nvidia’s surge is the exponential growth of its data center business, which contributed over 90% of the company’s total revenue. The segment brought in $35.6 billion, marking a 93% increase from the previous year. With AI adoption rising across industries, Nvidia continues to cement its dominance in the high-performance computing space.
Stock Performance and Market Volatility
Following the earnings announcement, Nvidia’s stock (NVDA) closed trading on Feb. 26 up 3.67% at $131.28. However, the stock remains below its all-time high of over $147, set in November 2024.
Nvidia has also experienced significant volatility. On Jan. 27, the company witnessed the largest single-day value drop in U.S. stock market history, plummeting nearly 17% and wiping out approximately $600 billion in market capitalization. This decline was triggered by investor concerns after Chinese AI firm DeepSeek introduced a model reportedly rivaling OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
AI Expansion Across Industries
Nvidia is not the only company capitalizing on AI’s rapid expansion. Microsoft recently announced plans to establish two AI centers in Abu Dhabi, underscoring the broader push toward AI investments. Additionally, Bitcoin mining firms are diversifying into AI, repurposing mining operations for compute-intensive AI workloads.
As AI continues to evolve, Nvidia remains at the forefront, driving innovation and setting the pace for the future of artificial intelligence.
