Nvidia is the world's most valuable company, up 21% this year and 74% over the past 12 months.

And it just reported its 15th consecutive revenue beat.

$81.6 billion in revenue.
$91 billion Q2 guidance.
A 25x dividend increase.

Here is everything you need to understand about what just happened.

Here’s the story


SPONSOR BREAK presented by Stansberry*

Right now, the largest wealth transfer in history is being set in motion...
By an invisible mechanism forcing money into the AI trade... every single day.

When it breaks, millions of retirement accounts could be cut in half.

But a former Goldman Sachs derivatives trader is revealing a mathematical signal that can help predict when to sell your stocks... before the crash.

He'll show you the 3 simple steps you need to take now to prepare.
See his urgent new presentation here.
 


Great Stops Being Enough

The company that built the AI boom is starting to run into the reality of being too successful.

Just now, Nvidia reported:
$81.6 billion in revenue — beat by $2.4 billion
85% year-over-year growth
$75.2 billion in data center revenue
$2.39 GAAP EPS — well above estimates
$91 billion Q2 guidance — crushed the $87 billion consensus

And the expectations were:
~$79 billion in revenue
nearly 80% year-over-year growth
another massive jump in data center demand
triple-digit earnings growth

By almost any historical standard, those numbers are ridiculous.

Fifteen straight beats.

Revenue up 700% from 2022 through 2025. Annual sales reaccelerating when most companies would be slowing down.

By any objective measure, Nvidia's financial performance over the past three years has been one of the most extraordinary runs in corporate history.

President Trump has been quietly collecting up to $250,000 a month from a single fund.


And you can now get in for less than $20.

The Paradox 🤔

Nvidia stock has fallen after each of its last three earnings reports.

The company delivered
better-than-expected revenues,
better-than-expected earnings per share, and
better-than-expected guidance.

Three for three, every metric, every time.

And the stock dropped the following session after each one.

The world's most valuable company — the company whose chips power essentially every major AI system on earth — is beating the most watched earnings in the market and getting sold off for it.

There is a name for this phenomenon: priced to perfection.

That’s a weird psychological shift.

At some point, markets stop rewarding greatness and start demanding impossibility.

Tonight, for the first time in four quarters, the stock is up in postmarket. Whether that holds tomorrow is the real test — and the one worth watching

The China Number Nobody Can Ignore

There is another detail buried inside tonight’s earnings that deserves much more attention than it will probably get.

Nvidia’s market share in China is now effectively zero.

Think about how insane that sentence would have sounded two years ago.

China was once one of Nvidia’s most important growth markets.
Now export restrictions have essentially erased that business.

And China is still aggressively building AI infrastructure — which means someone else is now selling those chips instead.

AI is becoming geopolitical now.

And Nvidia sits directly in the middle of it.

The Anthropic paper, published last week, makes the geopolitical stakes explicit.

It argues that the US must do everything in its power to stop China from closing its 12 to 24 month AI lead — and that strict export controls on advanced chips are the most effective tool to do that.

For Nvidia, being the most important weapon in that strategy comes at a real financial cost.


The $1 Trillion Question

In March, Jensen Huang announced a target that stopped the room: $1 trillion in sales of Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips and networking equipment through 2027.

One trillion dollars. From one company. In two years.

Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore thinks Wall Street has not fully absorbed what that number means — and that consensus estimates are actually too low. His math suggests the $1 trillion target implies $845 billion of data center sales in calendar years 2026 and 2027 combined. Current analyst consensus for that same period is just $785 billion. That is a $60 billion gap between what Jensen is guiding and what analysts are modeling.

Tonight's Q2 guidance of $91 billion — $4 billion above consensus — suggests the $1 trillion target is not just a number Jensen threw out in March.

It is tracking ahead of schedule.


The Summary 👀

1\ The Q2 guidance number - $91B — crushed the $87B consensus by $4 billion. Acceleration is intact.

2\ Shareholder returns - $80B buyback added. Dividend raised from $0.01 to $0.25 — a 25x increase in a single quarter.

3\ The China conversation - Call still ongoing — full update tomorrow.

4\ Customer health signals - Call still ongoing — full update tomorrow.

5\ The stock reaction itself - Up in postmarket. Three consecutive beats followed by three drops — the streak appears to be over.

The "too big to excite" thesis just got its biggest test — and tonight, Nvidia passed it.

Not with a routine beat. With a $4 billion guidance raise, an $80 billion buyback, and a dividend that went from a penny to a quarter in a single quarter.

The bond market is still screaming. China is still zero. The geopolitical risk is still real. But tonight, none of that was louder than the numbers.

Jensen Huang built the AI boom.

Tonight he reminded everyone he is still running it. 👀
