As a significant achievement in the field of artificial intelligence, last year stood as a milestone with Nvidia among those who had the highest level of benefit from this wave. It was reported on Wednesday about the results of its financial performance that the earnings generated by Nvidia amounted to almost $12.3 billion for the three-month period ending January 28, with an astonishing growth rate amounting to 769% compared to the same quarter of 2016 – when results exceeded all expectations and even surpassed Wall Street’s most optimistic predictions. Their full-year profits climbed over 580% versus the previous year.
Also in Q4 2017, there was a record increase in annual revenue amounting to more than two hundred sixty-five percent, not according to predictions. The major portion of Nvidia’s achievements is known as the consistent massive flow of AI investments worldwide. CEO Jensen Huang highlighted this trend, stating, “Demand is surging worldwide across companies, industries, and nations.” He compared the rampant adoption of AI technology to the beginning of another industrial revolution.
Nvidia is one of the important companies that operate in the growing AI industry and has gained a reputation for manufacturing processors used by numerous AI systems, such as generative AI that can produce text, images, or any other media. In artificial intelligence semiconductor sales, this firm is leading with about a 70% market share, even though players like Meta, Amazon, IBM, and Microsoft are trying to manufacture their own chips.
In the fourth quarter, sales from Nvidia’s core data center business hit a record high of $18.4 billion, representing a 409% year-on-year increase. This was fueled by partnerships with tech titans such as Google, Amazon, and Cisco. Nonetheless, with the company’s stock price exploding up about 230% in 2023 alone, it has become a major player in the broader market. The stock was even called by Goldman Sachs analysts “the most important stock on planet earth,” after being the best-performing S&P 500 stock in 2023.
Despite Nvidia’s impressive recent performance, some investors are worried about how long its rise can last. Additionally, Nvidia’s sales in the area have been impacted by US limitations on the shipment of sophisticated AI chips to China. Nvidia is confident about its future prospects despite these obstacles because there is a huge demand for its AI chips across a wide range of businesses.
Anticipating more development and demand for its products in the AI sector, Nvidia estimates sales for the current quarter to reach over $24 billion, a 233% rise from the period last year.
