Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang talks blowout quarter, AI, inferencing, ongoing demand, and more

Nvidia reported first quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines. The tech giant also announced a 10-for-1 stock split and is raising its dividend. For Q1 of fiscal 2025, Nvidia (NVDA) reported revenue rose 262% to $26.0 billion, with its Data Center being the biggest contributor. Revenue for that unit soared 427% year-over-year to $22.6 billion. There have been concerns that with the company's new Blackwell platform coming later this year, customers may be holding off on purchasing Nvidia's Hopper products. In an exclusive interview, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said that's not the case. "Hopper demand grew throughout this quarter after we announced Blackwell, and so that kind of tells you how much demand there is out there. People want to deploy these data centers right now. They want to put our GPUs to work right now and start making money and start saving money. And so that demand is just so strong," Huang says. One point Huang made is just how big inference is. Nvidia describes AI inference as "the process of using a trained model to make predictions on never-seen-before data." Huang tells Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman and Dan Howley Nvidia is in a "great position" regarding inference because of how complicated the problem is. Inference is going to be "a giant market opportunity for us," Huang adds. Watch the video above to hear how Huang says automakers like Tesla (TSLA) are using his company's products to power the future of autonomous vehicles.

I just sold part of my Nvidia stock to protect my profits, but I'm holding onto some for the long run because of the company's strong growth prospects. In addition, I'm thinking of expanding the variety in my $400K stock portfolio, but I'm not sure how to handle risks going forward.

Is NVIDIA a safe buy to outperform the market this year? I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with low percentage on my $136k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%.

The main focus for markets now is Nvidia, which has powered a large chunk of the S&P 500’s recent earnings. Nvidia’s stock, up more than 90% this year, rose 2.5% in New York on Monday, sending the Nasdaq 100 index to another record high. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

AI stocks will dominate 2024. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA. I'll also take these other recommendations you made.

I read that Nvidia provides tech for crypto mining services/blockchain transactions. Could the current crypto pump be attributed to Nvidia’s great earnings ? cos tbh I’m having FOMO with the current crypto price at 64k.

I recently sold some of my Nvidia stocks to secure profits, but I'm retaining a portion for the long term, its growth potential is robust. I'm also considering diversifying my $400K stock portfolio, but I'm uncertain about managing risks in my next move.

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 and first half of this year with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

Jenson definitely able to explain complex things to small kids for all of us to understand what is happening in the AI RACE !

Great for Jensen to grace a puny show like Yahoo Finance with his presence.

[Peterl]

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or diversify ?
