Nvidia beat earnings forecasts with $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue. Data center sales hit $89 billion.
The AI trade stays strong despite bubble worries.
Spending remains concentrated among hyperscalers, though other segments grow faster.
What happened
Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, beating analysts' expectations. Data centers alone brought in $89 billion of the total.
Why it matters
Strong results signal the AI trade remains robust despite bubble fears. However, hyperscalers (large cloud providers) still account for a larger share of data center revenue, showing spending is concentrated among a few big buyers.
What to watch
Growth from AI-focused cloud startups, governments, and corporate customers is faster, but Bloomberg notes the dependence on hyperscalers is still there.

The earnings beat comes amid widespread speculation about an AI bubble. Nvidia's position as a bellwether for the AI market makes its results a key signal for investors. The data shows that while demand is robust, it relies heavily on a small group of hyperscalers. This concentration is a risk factor, even as newer customer segments like startups and governments grow at a faster pace. The company's performance suggests the AI spending cycle is far from over, but the health of the market may hinge on whether these other buyers can eventually match the hyperscalers' scale.
