    Nvidia CEO reiterates 3T to 4T USD global AI infrastructure spend target

    Question

    Nvidia CEO reiterates 3T to 4T USD global AI infrastructure spend target

    Direct answer

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed his long-term outlook for datacenter and AI infrastructure expenditure, maintaining an addressable buildout expectation of 3 trillion to 4 trillion USD through 2030. The reiteration comes as hardware deployment enters enterprise integration phases. The company reported 106 percent YoY revenue expansion and forward guidance of 70 percent. While high capital spending has compressed free cash flows across select hyperscalers, valuation multiples at 27x forward earnings reflect ongoing earnings absorption. — bullish pressure on SPY.
