Nvidia on Wednesday issued a revenue growth outlook for fiscal 2028 projecting a 70% increase over the prior year, an unusually long-range forecast that signals the company expects the current AI infrastructure build-out to sustain rather than cycle. The projection, disclosed alongside second-quarter results that doubled revenue year-over-year, exceeded analyst expectations of 44% growth and arrived as Nvidia restructured its reporting to distinguish between hyperscale cloud providers and a broadening base of enterprise AI adopters.<\/p>\n

Revenue for the quarter ended July 26 reached $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year earlier and 18% sequentially, surpassing the $92.2 billion consensus estimate. Data center sales, which now constitute the vast majority of Nvidia’s business, came in at $89 billion against expectations of $85.7 billion. The company guided for $91 billion in the current quarter, plus or minus 2%.<\/p>\n

In a departure from standard semiconductor reporting practice, Nvidia split data center revenue into two categories: $48.7 billion from hyperscale customers \u2014 the large cloud platforms building massive GPU clusters \u2014 and $40.3 billion from what it terms AI clouds, industrial, and enterprise (ACIE), encompassing sovereign AI initiatives, AI-native cloud providers, and on-premises enterprise deployments. The breakdown reveals that non-hyperscale demand now accounts for nearly half of data center revenue, a shift with implications for the durability of Nvidia’s growth.<\/p>\n

“AI has reached its inflection point,” founder and CEO Jensen Huang<\/a> said in a statement. “It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue. And demand is accelerating.”<\/p>\n

The fiscal 2028 outlook \u2014 roughly three years forward \u2014 is rare in an industry where quarterly visibility is often limited. Most chipmakers decline to provide specific guidance beyond the current quarter. Nvidia’s willingness to quantify a 70% compound annual growth trajectory suggests high confidence in both the pace of AI model development and the willingness of customers to fund the infrastructure required to run them.<\/p>\n

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share reached $2.22, above the $2.06 to $2.09 analyst range. The company began including stock-based compensation in its non-GAAP results this quarter, a change that complicates direct comparison with prior periods but aligns its reporting more closely with peer practices.<\/p>\n

Shares reversed an initial post-earnings decline to rise more than 5% in after-hours trading as executives detailed the results on a conference call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
