Backlog

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed a $500 billion order backlog for AI chips spanning 2025-2026, following significant revenue growth. Analysts believe this indicates higher-than-expected revenue in 2026. Despite this, Nvidia’s stock remains below its value from late October. Analysts are closely watching Nvidia’s third-quarter earnings and forward guidance, along with details on partnerships, including a potential $10 billion investment in OpenAI. Competition from custom silicon and sales to China are also key areas of scrutiny.
