A few hours ago, NVIDIA released its financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, and the overall performance is nothing short of impressive. In short, the company is raking in massive profits, largely thanks to the sizzling demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) products. This quarter, revenue hit $39.3 billion, up 78% from the same period last year, with earnings per share at $0.89—significantly higher than the previous year. For the full year, revenue soared to $130.5 billion, more than doubling from the year before, with AI-related businesses alone contributing $115.2 billion. Company CEO Jensen Huang said their new Blackwell product has been a huge hit, generating billions in sales in just one quarter since its launch. He also noted that AI is advancing at a breakneck pace and will transform industries like automotive, healthcare, and gaming in the future.
Looking ahead, NVIDIA expects revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 to reach $43 billion, with profit margins holding steady at around 70%. The company also plans to pay shareholders a dividend of $0.01 per share, scheduled for April 2, 2025.
Data Centers: AI Brains Are Hot Sellers #
NVIDIA’s most lucrative segment is its data center business, which brought in $35.6 billion this quarter—a 93% jump from last year—and $115.2 billion for the full year, up an astonishing 142%. This is all thanks to the AI boom, with major companies relying on NVIDIA’s tech to build AI systems. For example, they’re partnering with cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to deliver cutting-edge AI hardware worldwide. They’re also working with Cisco and Verizon to bring AI into networking and 5G. On top of that, healthcare companies are using their tech for gene and drug research, and over 75% of the world’s most powerful supercomputers run on NVIDIA components.
Gaming and PCs: New Graphics Cards Leap Ahead #
The gaming business earned $2.5 billion this quarter, slightly down from last year, but still grew 9% annually to $11.4 billion. NVIDIA launched new Blackwell-based graphics cards, the RTX 5090 and 5080, which offer double the performance of their predecessors. The new DLSS 4 technology makes game visuals sharper, with 75 games supporting it at launch, while also speeding up PC response times and cutting latency by 75%. They also rolled out AI tools for PC gamers, letting them create smart assistants or tackle creative projects.
Professional Tools: AI Supercomputers Arrive #
The professional visualization segment earned $511 million this quarter, with full-year growth of 21% to $1.9 billion. They unveiled Project DIGITS, an affordable AI supercomputer aimed at researchers and students. It’s powerful yet priced at just $3,000, with availability expected in May 2025. They also upgraded their Omniverse tools to streamline robotics and autonomous driving development, and introduced Media2, an AI-powered solution for video production and live streaming.
Automotive and Robotics: Smarter Cars Get Smarter #
The automotive business brought in $570 million this quarter, doubling from last year, with annual growth of 55% to $1.7 billion. NVIDIA is collaborating with Toyota and Hyundai to build smart cars and helping factories automate with robots. Their new DriveOS system passed safety certifications, and they’ve set up a lab to test AI systems. They also launched the Cosmos platform and Jetson Orin Nano Super to accelerate development for robotics and self-driving tech.
Closing Thoughts #
NVIDIA is riding the AI wave to massive profits, with a presence everywhere from data centers to automotive and gaming. They’ve opened a new R&D center in Vietnam and released more AI tools, gearing up to expand even further.
