Nvidia's 70% Growth Forecast Is a Supply Ceiling. Demand Is Actually Stronger Than That.
Nvidia (NVDA) reported a 106% revenue increase to $96B, driven by 117% growth in data center sales. Management forecasted 70% growth for fiscal 2028, citing supply constraints. CEO Huang highlighted strong demand and AI's productivity. CFO Kress noted $1.3T in capex from hyperscalers and a $2T cloud backlog. Nvidia is financing AI infrastructure, securing $500B in capital. Shares rose 5% post-earnings, trading at 18x forward earnings.
