Nvidia posted strong quarterly earnings Wednesday, beating Wall Street’s expectations despite new export controls imposed by the Trump administration limiting the sale of some of its advanced chips to China.
The powerhouse chipmaker, which is central to the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, saw its quarterly revenue grow 69 percent year-over-year, increasing from $26 billion in the first quarter of 2024 to $44 billion in the first quarter of this year.
The company’s data center business saw its revenue rise 73 percent over the same period, growing from $22.6 billion to $39.1 billion, although it fell just short of the market forecast for the segment.
“Global demand for NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure is incredibly strong,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement. “AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year, and as AI agents become mainstream, the demand for AI computing will accelerate.”
“Countries around the world are recognizing AI as essential infrastructure — just like electricity and the internet — and NVIDIA stands at the center of this profound transformation,” he added.
Nvidia noted in a press release that it faced a $4.5 billion charge in the first quarter due to new restrictions, which blocked the chipmaker from exporting its H20 graphics processing units to China.
Its earnings per share came in below expectations at $0.81, which the company attributed to the impact of the export conrols. Without the additional charge and related tax impacts, Nvidia said its earnings per share would have surpassed forecasts at $0.96.
The chipmaker said it expects another $8 billion loss in the second quarter from the chip restrictions.
