Nvidia’s stock is experiencing a remarkable surge, marking its longest winning streak since 2023 with a more than 18% climb over the past ten days. This impressive rally comes amidst an insatiable demand for artificial intelligence hardware, with tech titans like Meta, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft aggressively acquiring Nvidia’s cutting-edge AI chips.
While currently trading approximately 8% below its October all-time high (adjusted for a 2024 stock split), the upward momentum underscores Nvidia’s dominant position in the AI infrastructure landscape. At the company’s recent GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang revealed a staggering backlog of over $1 trillion in orders for its GPUs, including the current Blackwell platform and the next-generation Vera Rubin architecture, extending through 2027.
This demand has fundamentally reshaped Nvidia’s business. Data center revenue has surged by an astonishing 75% year-over-year, now accounting for a commanding 88% of the company’s total revenue. This represents a dramatic shift from five years ago when gaming was the primary revenue driver. The company’s ability to produce these high-performance AI chips is struggling to keep pace with the overwhelming market appetite.
Further solidifying its leadership, Nvidia unveiled new chip architectures at GTC designed to accelerate AI workloads. This includes a language processing unit leveraging technology from its strategic $20 billion acquisition of AI chip startup Groq in December. Additionally, the company showcased a dedicated rack of its latest Vera CPUs, signaling a significant resurgence in demand for central processing units as agentic AI applications evolve and require more diverse compute capabilities.
Meta has emerged as a flagship customer for Nvidia’s standalone CPUs, announcing a comprehensive deal in February to deploy millions of Nvidia chips across its extensive global data center network.
In a separate development, Nvidia has officially refuted recent rumors suggesting the company was in talks to acquire a major PC manufacturer. A spokesperson clarified that Nvidia is “not engaged in discussions to acquire any PC maker,” a statement that followed a brief surge in shares of Dell and HP Inc. based on the speculation.
Adding another dimension to its innovation roadmap, Nvidia also introduced “Ising,” a new family of open-source models aimed at accelerating the advancement of quantum computing. This initiative highlights Nvidia’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of computing across multiple frontiers, solidifying its position not just as a GPU giant, but as a key enabler of future technological paradigms.
