Nvidia (NVDA) claimed Wednesday that its most current Blackwell AI chips have actually gotten to major manufacturing, creating $11 billion in profits throughout its 4th quarter.
“We delivered $11.0 billion of Blackwell architecture revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the fastest product ramp in our company’s history,” said Nvidia CFO Colette Kress in comments launched with the chipmaker’s profits outcomes Wednesday after the bell.

“Blackwell sales were led by large cloud service providers which represented approximately 50% of our Data Center revenue.”
Nvidia’s 4th quarter profits went beyond Wall Street’s high assumptions.
The chipmaker reported profits of $39.3 billion, defeating Wall Street’s quote of $38.2 billion, with information facility profits getting to $35.6 billion, in advance of the $34.1 billion anticipated, according to Bloomberg agreement quotes.
The AI chipmaker reported modified profits per share of $0.89, greater than the $0.84 anticipated.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Jensen Huang said in a separate statement, “We’ve successfully ramped up the massive-scale production of Blackwell AI supercomputers, achieving billions of dollars in sales in its first quarter.”
The discourse resolved concerns of more Blackwell hold-ups.
Production of huge web server shelfs making use of Nvidia’s most current AI chips had actually been pressed back amidst records of overheating problems and problems, which apparently triggered Nvidia’s leading consumers– Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), and Meta (META)– to cut orders of Blackwell products
Those 4 consumers alone (called “hyperscalers”) acquired an approximated $44 billion well worth of Nvidia GPUs in the 2024 fiscal year, according to a DA Davidson evaluation.
Evercore ISI expert Mark Lipacis had actually recommended in a note previously today that Blackwell manufacturing can be pressed back to the center of 2025. Nvidia’s discourse Wednesday resolved such worries.
“Based on the Q4 numbers and the guidance, it seems like demand for Blackwell … is very, very strong, and one can assume is coming from the hyperscalers,” Ali Mogharabi, elderly equity expert at We stEnd Capital Management, informed Yahoo Finance in a meeting after the profits record.
On the business’s profits phone call, Kress included that sales to hyperscalers increased year over year, including, “Large CSPs [cloud service providers] were among the first to stand up Blackwell, with Azure, GCP [Google Cloud Products], AWS, and OCI [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure] bringing 200 [Blackwell] systems to cloud regions around the world to meet surging customer demand for AI.”
