Nvidia Powers Ahead: Strong Earnings and an AI Future

Written by Head of Global Equity Research | Clay Carter | May 30, 2025 3:34:14 AM

Over the past 12 months to 29 May 2025, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has remained a cornerstone of HALO Technologies’ Tech Stars and AI Thematic portfolios, returning an impressive 31.61% p.a. to investors. With its latest earnings report, the momentum shows no signs of slowing down — and we believe there is still more to come.

Another “Double Beat” on Wall Street

Nvidia's fiscal Q1 earnings released late Wednesday showcased strong outperformance:

  • EPS (non-GAAP): $0.81 vs. $0.74 expected (up from $0.61 YoY)
  • Revenue: $44.06 billion vs. $43.33 billion expected (up 69% YoY)

These results mark a powerful continuation of Nvidia’s revenue “hockey stick” — driven primarily by demand in AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and advanced graphics technologies.

Despite a loss of approximately $8 billion in revenue from China due to export controls, Nvidia’s fiscal Q2 guidance remains strong at $45 billion ±2%, largely in line with analyst expectations.

AI Infrastructure at the Core

The company’s Data Centre segment continues to lead the charge, with $39.1 billion in revenue, up 73% YoY. Nvidia is not only selling chips — it's building a global network of AI factories and infrastructure:

  • Global Expansion: AI supercomputer partnerships announced in the U.S., UAE, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Taiwan.
  • New Technologies: Blackwell Ultra chips, NVLink Fusion™, and Quantum-X silicon photonics.
  • Cloud Availability: Blackwell cloud instances now available across AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle.
  • Record Performance: Blackwell platform delivering up to 30x higher throughput in MLPerf AI benchmarks.

This positions Nvidia as the enabler of next-generation AI development across industries — from drug discovery and robotics to autonomous driving and digital twins.

Gaming, PCs and Visualisation Also Deliver

  • Gaming revenue: $3.8 billion — a record quarter (up 42% YoY)
  • Pro Visualization: $509 million — up 19% YoY
  • Automotive: $567 million — up 72% YoY

New product releases include the GeForce RTX 5070/5060 GPUs, support for Nintendo Switch 2, and DLSS 4, which is now featured in over 125 games. The company’s new RTX Remix modding platform also gained serious traction with over 2 million gamers engaged.

In robotics, Nvidia introduced Isaac GR00T, a humanoid AI platform aimed at accelerating the development of synthetic intelligence agents and physical AI systems.

CEO Jensen Huang: "AI Is Essential Infrastructure"

“AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year… Countries around the world are recognizing AI as essential infrastructure — just like electricity and the internet — and Nvidia stands at the centre of this profound transformation,” said Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia.

This vision — to be the backbone of global AI transformation — reinforces our conviction in Nvidia as a long-term structural winner.

What’s Next for Investors?

Nvidia’s remarkable performance over the past year has helped drive outsized returns in HALO’s AI and Tech Stars portfolios. Yet, the company’s deep investments in AI infrastructure, cloud partnerships, and cutting-edge computing suggest the growth story is far from over.

For existing investors, these results reaffirm Nvidia's leadership. For new investors, now could be an opportune time to gain exposure.
