Summary
2 million additional Nvidia GPUs will be deployed across Amazon Web Services data centers in 2027 and 2028, expanding a March plan for AWS to use 1 million chips.
70% fiscal 2028 income growth projected by Nvidia's CFO — versus analysts' 45% estimate — helped lift the stock more than 4% after hours after an initial dip.
96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, up 106% year over year, was driven by data-center sales of $89 billion, up 117%, reinforcing Nvidia's role as a bellwether for AI spending.
That spending boom still faces scrutiny because hyperscalers are pouring billions into AI infrastructure while Nvidia also backs financing arrangements that critics say could inflate demand artificially.
