Nvidia Tops Q3 Estimates and Raises Outlook as AI Demand Surges

Investors exhaled after Nvidia pointed to half‑trillion‑dollar bookings plus sold‑out cloud supply, even as analysts kept an eye on concentration, financing risks.

Overview

  • Nvidia reported October‑quarter revenue of $57 billion and net income of $31.9 billion, beating forecasts, with data‑center sales reaching $51.2 billion.
  • The company projected roughly $65 billion in fiscal Q4 revenue (±2%) and guided for an adjusted gross margin near 75%, indicating continued momentum.
  • CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell demand is “off the charts” with cloud GPUs sold out, and the company cited about $500 billion in bookings through 2026.
  • Shares rose about 5% in after‑hours trading, adding roughly $220 billion in market value and lifting major tech peers.
  • Risks remained in focus: four customers accounted for 61% of sales, rent‑back contracts climbed to $26 billion, infrastructure and power constraints loom, and China sales face export limits as U.S. officials approved exports of up to 35,000 Blackwell chips to firms in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
