Nvidia Projects 70% Revenue Growth as Data Center Sales Hit Record

Supply limits are driving Nvidia's guidance, leading the company to underwrite customers and lock capacity with large equity and supply pledges.

Overview

  • Nvidia reported record fiscal quarter revenue of about $96.2 billion with roughly $89 billion from its Data Center business, and it guided toward roughly 70% revenue growth into fiscal 2028.
  • Management says demand exceeds its ability to build chips and systems, making growth supply‑constrained and prompting guidance that assumes limited near‑term capacity.
  • The company is using its balance sheet to secure customers and capacity through large equity investments, take‑or‑pay and supply commitments and financing for AI labs.
  • Analysts reacted largely positively and many maintained Buy ratings while the stock trades at a price‑to‑earnings multiple near 28–29, a level some see as modest given the growth.
  • Key risks include hyperscalers developing custom chips, China and export‑control exposure, rising memory and packaging costs that pressure margins, and the potential downside of so‑called circular financing.
