For the fiscal year ended Jan. 26, revenue climbed by 114% year over year, driving adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to $2.99, increasing by an even stronger 130% from last year.
Now trading at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26, well below the five-year average above 70.
Sky-high valuations and the potential that IT budgets will peak.
Nvidia is down more than 20% from January's peak.
The three hyperscalers ( Amazon's AWS, Microsoft's Azure and Alphabet's Google Cloud) plowed $191 billion into their businesses in 2024, up from $117 billion in 2023.
In 2024, Nvidia sales totaled $130 billion, up 114% from 2023. And thanks to margins wider than 70%, a lot of that money flowed to the bottom line. Its net income was about $73 billion in 2024, up 145% from 2023.
Nvidia's market share for those AI chips is about 90%.
The top four cloud service providers have ordered as many as 3.6 million of its flagship "Blackwell" graphics processors, and that the figure did not include orders from Meta Platforms.
Nvidia plans to invest hundreds of billions of US dollars in US-made chips and electronics over the next four years.
Nvidia can now manufacture its latest systems in the United States through suppliers such as Taiwanese chipmaking giants TSMC and Foxconn, while also noting a growing competitive threat from Chinese telecoms firm Huawei.
Orders for 3.6 million Blackwell chips from four major cloud firms underestimated overall demand, as they excluded Meta Platforms, smaller cloud providers, and startups.
