Nvidia sales soar on rapid buildout of AI data centres
Nvidia exceeded Wall Street expectations for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, reporting $96.22 billion in revenue. This growth stems from a rapid expansion of AI data centers and high-end chip demand. The company has guided Q3 revenue to $108 billion and predicts AI-driven growth will persist through 2028. To support long-term demand, Nvidia has made $279 billion in supply commitments. While current results are strong, some analysts suggest growth remains dependent on a small group of customers and complex financing structures.
