During the latest earnings call, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated his bullish outlook for the company, dismissing concerns that DeepSeek’s R1 reasoning model might undercut Nvidia’s sales.
Despite last month’s record drop in Nvidia’s stock—triggered by speculation that DeepSeek’s model required far fewer chips to train—Huang emphasized that such innovations only increase overall demand for compute.
“Reasoning models can consume 100 times more compute, and future reasoning models will consume much more compute,” Huang said, adding that DeepSeek R1 has “ignited global enthusiasm” and is being widely adopted by AI developers. He described the innovation as “excellent” and a positive signal for the entire AI industry, which relies on significant computational power—a core strength of Nvidia’s product portfolio.
Nvidia reported another record-breaking quarter, with total revenue reaching $39.3 billion—exceeding both its internal projections and Wall Street estimates. The company also provided guidance for the upcoming quarter, expecting revenue to climb to approximately $43 billion. Data center sales have been particularly robust, with figures nearly doubling in 2024 to $115 billion and showing a 16% increase compared to the previous quarter.
Huang highlighted the success of Nvidia’s latest Blackwell chip, which has been custom-built for reasoning applications. “Current demand for Blackwell is extraordinary,” he said. “We will grow strongly in 2025.”
This robust performance comes at a time when the market for AI chips shows no signs of slowing. Industry giants Meta, Google, and Amazon have recently unveiled massive AI infrastructure investments, collectively committing hundreds of billions of dollars over the coming years.
Despite the market turbulence sparked by DeepSeek’s debut, Nvidia’s earnings underscore the company’s pivotal role in powering next-generation AI applications. As AI models continue to require exponentially more compute power, Nvidia appears well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding global demand.
