    Nvidia Reports Q2 Revenue of $96.2B and Guides Q3 to $108B on Hyperscaler Demand

    Question

    Nvidia Reports Q2 Revenue of $96.2B and Guides Q3 to $108B on Hyperscaler Demand

    Direct answer

    Nvidia concluded the tech earnings cycle with 106% top-line growth to $96.2 billion, driven by $89.0 billion in Data Center sales. The company expanded its AWS partnership by 2 million GPUs and accelerated ramp timelines for the Vera Rubin platform across major hyperscalers. To satisfy long-term orders, Nvidia expanded supply commitments to $279 billion. Management signaled gross margins will compress from 75% to between 71% and 72% in Q4 fiscal 2028 as memory procurement costs increase, before rebounding as new architectures scale. — bullish pressure on AMZN.
