Nvidia's Q3 Earnings and Data Center Performance

Nvidia reported record revenues of $57 billion for the quarter, representing a 22% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 62% year-over-year surge. This growth translates to an additional $10.3 billion in revenue within the last 90 days, a figure exceeding the total revenue of AMD. Earnings per share (EPS) reached $1.30, up 20% from the previous quarter and 67% from the prior year. The company's ability to grow revenues and earnings by over 60% annually is highlighted as an exceptional market phenomenon.

While Nvidia has four reported business units (data center, gaming and AIPC, professional visualization, and automotive/robotics), the data center segment accounts for 90% of total revenues and is the primary growth driver. Data center revenues alone reached $51.2 billion, up 25% quarter-over-quarter and 66% year-over-year.

Key Points on Data Center Revenues:

Exclusion of China: Current figures do not include any chip sales to China, and future guidance assumes zero data center revenue from this market. Re-entry into the Chinese AI market would represent pure upside.
Blackwell Ultra Ramp-Up: Sales of the B300 Blackwell Ultra chips are still in their early stages but are expected to significantly boost data center revenues in the second half of 2025. This anticipated growth was recognized by the speaker's audience months in advance due to their understanding of Nvidia's product roadmap.
Future Architectures: Beyond Blackwell Ultra, Nvidia has a clear roadmap with Vera Rubin in 2026, Rubin Ultra in 2027, and Fineman in 2028, indicating a sustained pattern of innovation and revenue growth.
Networking as a Major Contributor: A substantial $8.2 billion of data center revenue came from networking technologies, including Spectrum X Ethernet and Quantum Infiniband, as well as chip-to-chip connections like NVLink and NVLink Fusion. This networking segment saw a 164% year-over-year revenue growth, now comprising 14% of total revenues. Nvidia's networking business is now larger than its gaming, visualization, and robotics segments combined and is the largest networking business globally by quarterly revenue.

What Wall Street Still Doesn't Understand About Nvidia's Ecosystem

The core argument is that Wall Street focuses too much on individual revenue and profit margins, failing to grasp the holistic value Nvidia unlocks by integrating its hardware and software ecosystem. This integration is the true driver of Nvidia's dominance in the AI era.

Jensen Huang's Keynote Insights:

Jensen Huang's recent keynote presented three crucial slides illustrating this point:

Hopper vs. Blackwell Architecture:
- Hopper: Systems used Ethernet for inter-tray communication, creating a bottleneck.
- Blackwell: Connects all 72 GPUs via NVLink switch trays, enabling them to function as a single, massive GPU. This architectural shift is described as "changing everything."
Blackwell Performance Comparison:
- Metrics: Tokens per second per user (X-axis) and tokens per second per megawatt (Y-axis).
- Advantage: Blackwell systems can generate 4-6 times more tokens per GPU or support 3-6 times more users for the same power consumption.
- Cost Efficiency: Blackwell systems offer approximately 10 times more tokens per dollar, per watt, or per second compared to Hopper, directly translating to 10 times more revenue for data centers.
Blackwell Cost Reduction:
- Cost per Million Tokens: On Hopper, it costs $0.70 to generate a million tokens. On Blackwell, this cost drops to $0.07.
- User Scalability: Blackwell systems can support 3-6 times more users at the same speeds for the same cost.

The "Cost Per Token" and Price Elasticity of Demand

Dion Harris, Nvidia's Senior Director of High Performance Computing, Cloud, and AI Infrastructure Go-to-Market, emphasizes that the true value of AI lies in reducing the cost per token. This reduction enables AI to be embedded into more services and use cases, thereby delivering greater value to end-users.

Ubiquitous AI: When the cost per token approaches zero, AI APIs can be integrated into virtually every application, leading to the ubiquitous use of AI.
Price Elasticity of Demand: This economic principle explains that as the price of a good or service decreases, its demand increases at a faster rate. The example of electricity replacing candles and gas lighting illustrates this.
AI Demand: The 10x performance jump from Hopper to Blackwell is not just about increasing data center revenues; it unlocks new use cases across various industries.
Edge Computing: Reduced power per token allows AI workloads to run on edge devices (smartphones, laptops, humanoid robots, self-driving cars), further expanding AI demand.
Virtuous Cycle: A 10x cost reduction in token generation could lead to a 20x, 50x, or even 100x increase in overall demand. This creates a virtuous cycle where lower costs drive more use cases, which in turn incentivizes further cost reductions, similar to the historical trends in internet speeds, computer performance, and electricity costs.

Nvidia Stock Outlook and Investment Thesis

The speaker believes Nvidia will be the world's first $10 trillion company, though not necessarily in the immediate future. This conviction is based on:

Sustained Growth: Continued revenue and earnings growth exceeding 60% annually, even without Chinese sales.
Future Revenue Visibility: Nvidia has visibility into over half a trillion dollars in total Blackwell and Rubin revenue by the end of 2026.
Future Architectures: The upcoming Rubin Ultras and Fineman architectures will further fuel growth.
Valuation: Despite being the world's most valuable company, Nvidia is considered "relatively cheap" when compared to its competitors, trading at half the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of AMD and Broadcom.

The speaker reiterates their commitment to buying Nvidia stock and keeping it at the top of their "get rich without getting lucky" list. The core message is that a company's current size does not preclude significant future growth, citing historical examples like Microsoft and Amazon.

Fundrise Venture Capital Partnership

The video also features a sponsored segment promoting Fundrise's Venture Capital product. This product allows everyday investors to access private, pre-IPO tech companies, including those in the AI and data infrastructure space, with an entry point starting at $10. Fundrise has reportedly invested nearly $400 million in such companies. This is presented as a solution for investors who might miss out on early-stage returns from the next generation of tech giants, which are now waiting longer to go public.

Conclusion

Nvidia's latest earnings report and the underlying technological advancements, particularly the Blackwell architecture, demonstrate a profound shift in AI capabilities and economics. The company's integrated ecosystem, coupled with a clear roadmap for future innovation and a massive, expanding market driven by decreasing costs, positions it for continued exponential growth. The speaker's investment thesis remains strong, viewing Nvidia not just as a chip manufacturer but as the foundational enabler of the entire AI era, with significant upside potential despite its current high valuation.
