Nvidia’s Huang Sees AI Demand Driving 70% Revenue Growth
Nvidia has emerged as the central supplier behind the generative-AI infrastructure boom, with its GPUs and integrated computing systems powering model training and inference. As hyperscalers, enterprises and sovereign AI projects expand data-center spending, investor attention has shifted from whether demand can endure to whether supplies of chips, advanced memory and complete systems can keep pace.
Chief Executive Jensen Huang told a Goldman Sachs conference in September 2026 that orders for computing systems built around Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs were increasing significantly month over month, supporting strong growth through the end of 2027. Nvidia’s 2027 revenue could rise about 70% to roughly $680 billion, according to projections cited in reports. Huang said supply capacity, rather than customer demand, remains the company’s principal constraint.

The history behind this eventNvidia Sees Fiscal 2028 Sales Rising 70% on AI Demand
Nvidia has become a central supplier to the artificial-intelligence infrastructure buildout, with its accelerators and networking systems powering data centers operated by cloud providers, AI labs and enterprises. The company’s results are widely treated as a gauge of whether massive spending on computing capacity can be sustained. Continued growth therefore matters beyond the chipmaker itself, shaping expectations for suppliers, customers and investors across the broader AI economy.
On Aug. 26, Nvidia reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion for the period ended July 26, 2026, up 106% from a year earlier and above Wall Street expectations. Data Center revenue climbed 117% to $89.0 billion. The company forecast about $108 billion in revenue for the current quarter and said fiscal 2028 sales, for the year ending January 2028, should grow roughly 70% despite supply constraints. Shares rose more than 4% in after-hours trading.
Nvidia Posts Record $96.2 Billion Revenue, Guides for $108 Billion Quarter
Nvidia has become the central supplier of accelerators powering the generative artificial intelligence boom, making its results a key gauge of data-center spending and technology-stock sentiment. Analysts had expected quarterly revenue of about $92 billion, already a record, as cloud providers and other customers continued to invest heavily in GPUs. Investors were also watching Chief Executive Jensen Huang’s assessment of chip demand, supply constraints and the durability of AI infrastructure spending.
Nvidia reported record second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion on Aug. 26, up 106% from a year earlier and above the roughly $92 billion expected by analysts. The company guided to about $108 billion in revenue for the following quarter, pushing its shares higher in after-hours trading after an initially uneven reaction. Attention subsequently shifted to circular-financing risks, with reports highlighting guarantees and financing commitments whose scale exceeded quarterly revenue and could deepen links between Nvidia and its customers.
