Nvidia earnings Q1 2025 delivered a record-breaking performance, with the company reporting $44.1 billion in revenue.

That’s a 12% jump from the previous quarter and an astounding 69% gain year-over-year. These gains came despite major challenges, including new U.S. export rules affecting key products. Nvidia, known for gaming GPUs, has expanded deeply into AI, robotics, and data center infrastructure. The data center division alone pulled in $39.1 billion, showing 73% growth over the previous year.

Momentum fueled by global AI demand

What drove this growth? There is a massive global demand for AI systems and the computing power behind them. Nvidia’s GPUs are at the heart of that revolution, building infrastructure that governments and companies now see as essential. CEO Jensen Huang described AI as “the new electricity,” with Nvidia positioned at its core. Nvidia earnings Q1 2025 reflect that strategic positioning, showing demand is far from slowing. The Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer is now in full production, backed by global cloud providers.

Despite this momentum, the quarter wasn’t flawless. In April, new U.S. export rules required licenses for Nvidia’s H20 chips to China. This caused Nvidia to take a $4.5 billion charge for unsold inventory and halt another $2.5 billion in potential shipments. Even with that hit, Nvidia earnings Q1 2025 still saw GAAP gross margin at 60.5% and non-GAAP at 61.0%. Excluding the H20 charge, margins soared to 71.3%, highlighting a strong core business.

Nvidia pushes ahead amid challenges

The earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.76 GAAP and $0.81 non-GAAP. Removing the H20 impact, adjusted EPS landed at $0.96, reassuring investors. Nvidia expects next quarter revenue of around $45 billion, even as it factors in $8 billion in lost H20 sales.
New partnerships in Asia and the Middle East are expected to offset much of that loss. Nvidia earnings Q1 2025 show that the company remains agile, even under political and trade pressure.

Looking forward, Nvidia is focused on maintaining its global leadership in AI computing. As more nations invest in AI infrastructure, Nvidia is positioned to supply the tools and power they need. From gaming and robotics to supercomputers and cloud systems, Nvidia’s strategy is clear and aggressive. With confidence from investors and strong product demand, Nvidia earnings Q1 2025 may be just the beginning.

SHARE

What contributed most to Nvidia’s Q1 2025 revenue growth?

The biggest driver of Nvidia’s Q1 2025 revenue growth was its data center segment, which pulled in $39.1 billion. That’s a 73% increase year-over-year. This growth is largely attributed to massive global demand for AI infrastructure, cloud computing, and enterprise systems. Nvidia’s AI GPUs and systems have become essential to governments and tech firms building the next wave of computing power. The Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer and increased adoption across Asia and the Middle East also played key roles. Nvidia’s expansion beyond gaming into AI and robotics is now paying off in a big way.

How did the U.S. export restrictions affect Nvidia this quarter?

The new U.S. export rules required Nvidia to get licenses for selling its H20 chips to China. These chips were specifically designed for that market. As a result, Nvidia couldn’t ship $2.5 billion worth of H20 chips and had to record a $4.5 billion inventory charge. This hit lowered Nvidia’s gross margins for the quarter, bringing GAAP margin to 60.5% and non-GAAP to 61.0%. However, when adjusted to exclude this one-time charge, Nvidia’s non-GAAP margin actually reached 71.3%, showing how resilient its core business remains despite regulatory headwinds.

What does Nvidia expect for the next quarter?

Nvidia projects Q2 revenue around $45 billion, which still factors in approximately $8 billion in lost H20 chip sales. Despite that expected loss, Nvidia is bullish due to strong AI product demand and active global partnerships. New deals in Asia and the Middle East, along with full-scale production of its AI supercomputers, should support continued momentum. CEO Jensen Huang emphasized that AI is becoming critical infrastructure worldwide, and Nvidia is at the heart of that transformation. These developments point to another strong quarter ahead for Nvidia.

Is Nvidia still a strong player in gaming, or is AI the main focus now?

While Nvidia started with a focus on gaming and remains a dominant player in the space, AI has become the company’s primary growth engine. Gaming still contributes to its bottom line, but the scale of growth from AI and data centers has far outpaced it. That said, Nvidia continues to innovate in gaming GPUs, and new product rollouts are expected to keep it competitive in that space. However, the long-term strategy is clearly aligned with AI computing, robotics, and autonomous systems — sectors where Nvidia sees exponential demand and opportunity.
