Nvidia, headquartered in California, reported a record first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion (approximately $114 billion), marking an 85% increase from the same period last year. This growth is largely attributed to the company's dominance in AI chips and data center expansion, with data center revenue hitting $75.2 billion, a 92% rise year-on-year. Despite these impressive figures, investors reacted tepidly to the company's second-quarter forecast of $91 billion, which, while above Wall Street's estimate of $86.84 billion, raised concerns about increasing competition in the AI chip sector. Analysts suggest that investors have become accustomed to Nvidia's strong performance, leading to a muted market response. The company's CEO, Jensen Huang, emphasized the rapid development of AI infrastructure, describing it as the largest expansion in human history. Nvidia also announced a significant increase in its quarterly cash dividend to 25 cents per share and plans for $80 billion in stock buybacks. However, uncertainties regarding trade with China, particularly in light of stalled shipments of advanced chips, continue to loom over Nvidia's outlook.
