Overview

  • Nvidia posted fiscal Q1 revenue of $44.06 billion, marking 69% year-over-year growth driven by its AI accelerator business.
  • US export restrictions on advanced chips bound for China are projected to reduce Nvidia’s revenue by about $8 billion this quarter.
  • The company controls roughly 90% of the global AI accelerator market and supplies GPUs to Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon, Oracle and xAI.
  • Analysts forecast that tech giants will boost AI infrastructure spending to around $330 billion by 2026, underpinning continued demand for Nvidia’s hardware.
  • Strategic agreements in the Middle East, including a supply deal with Saudi AI startup Humain and UAE import arrangements, aim to offset China-related headwinds.
