NVIDIA has recently released its highly anticipated first-quarter financial report for fiscal year 2025, following the closing of the U.S. stock market. This report provides a detailed overview of the company's performance up to April 28th, further establishing NVIDIA's stronghold in the global AI and high-performance computing market.

In terms of financial performance, NVIDIA delivered exceptional results this quarter. Revenue soared to 26.044 billion,representing astaggering 26214.881 billion, up 628% from the previous year. Both metrics exceeded market expectations, highlighting NVIDIA's strong market influence and continued growth potential.

A closer look at the performance of NVIDIA's various business segments reveals significant achievements across all fronts. Notably, the datacenter segment delivered revenue of $22.6 billion, setting a new record and achieving a remarkable 427% year-over-year growth, along with a 23% sequential growth. This outstanding performance is largely attributed to NVIDIA's profound expertise in AI and high-performance computing, as well as the widespread adoption of its "Hopper" architecture graphics processors, especially the H100 chip.

In addition, NVIDIA also achieved commendable results in its gaming and AI processor, professional visualization, and automotive segments. Despite a 8% sequential decline, the gaming and AI processor segment still maintained a 18% year-over-year growth, reaching 2.6billion inrevenue. The professional visualization and automotive segments also achieved 45427 million and $329 million.

NVIDIA's Chief Financial Officer, Colette Kress, emphasized in the earnings call that the robust growth of the datacenter segment is largely due to the increased shipments of "Hopper" architecture graphics processors, especially the H100 chip. She further revealed that NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell chip is expected to start shipping in the second quarter of this fiscal year and ramp up production in the third quarter. This will undoubtedly provide further momentum for NVIDIA's continued growth in the datacenter segment.

NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, expressed his optimism about AI technology, stating that it will lead the next industrial revolution. He emphasized that NVIDIA is at the forefront of this trend, collaborating with enterprises and countries to transform traditional datacenters into accelerated computing centers and establish AI factories to produce AI as a new commodity. This will significantly enhance productivity and revenue opportunities for enterprises while improving cost and energy efficiency.

However, Huang also acknowledged the challenges faced in the Chinese market. Despite supplying unrestricted AI products to China, NVIDIA expects a significant decline in datacenter revenue from the country, and anticipates intense competition in the future. Despite these challenges, Huang remains confident in NVIDIA's future and provided a positive earnings guidance for the second quarter. He predicts that revenue will reach 28 billion,with afluctuation of 226.6 billion.

To reward shareholders and attract more investors, NVIDIA has also announced a 1-for-10 stock split plan. This plan will further enhance the liquidity of NVIDIA's shares and lower the investment threshold. Additionally, NVIDIA repurchased 7.7 billion worth of share sand paid 98 million in dividends during this fiscal quarter. These measures are expected to boost investors' confidence in NVIDIA and drive its share price higher.

Ultimately, driven by its strong financial performance and exceeding earnings guidance, NVIDIA's share price surged past the 1,000 mark after the market closed. Although it subsequently retreated, it ultimately closed at 949.50 per share, with the company's total market capitalization reaching a staggering $2.34 trillion. This achievement further cements NVIDIA's leadership position in the global AI and high-performance computing market and its ability to continuously innovate.
