US tech giant Nvidia reported an 80% year-on-year increase in net income for the last quarter of fiscal 2025, with earnings climbing to $22.1 billion - an increase of $9.8 billion compared to the same period last year.
The strong financial performance was accompanied by record revenue growth of 78%, with quarterly revenues reaching $39.33 billion, surpassing market expectations of $38.05 billion.
For the entire fiscal year, Nvidia’s revenues surged 114% to hit an all-time high of $130.5 billion. Diluted earnings per share rose by 82% to $0.89 in the last quarter, while sequential comparisons showed a 12% increase in revenue and a 14% rise in net income.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang attributed much of the robust performance to surging demand for the company’s Blackwell AI supercomputers. “Demand for Blackwell is amazing as reasoning AI adds another scaling law - more compute for training makes models smarter, and more compute for long thinking makes the answer smarter,” Huang said. He added that Nvidia had successfully ramped up massive-scale production of its Blackwell systems, achieving billions of dollars in sales in the first quarter. “AI is advancing at light speed as agentic AI and physical AI set the stage for the next wave of innovation across the largest industries,” he noted.
The company has also been strategically investing to expand and enhance the US AI infrastructure. Most recently, Nvidia joined forces with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank to launch the Stargate Project, a venture that plans to invest up to $500 billion in US-based AI infrastructure over the coming years.
However, the semiconductor leader’s recent gains come amid a turbulent market environment. Nvidia has faced significant challenges in the ongoing trade war for semiconductor supremacy between the US and China. In one dramatic episode, the launch of China’s new AI chatbot DeepSeek reportedly led to a loss of over $500 billion in market value for Nvidia in a single day.
Despite these setbacks, Nvidia’s latest financial results underscore the company’s central role in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, positioning it well for future growth as global demand for advanced computing solutions continues to rise.
