NVIDIA Announces Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2025

NVIDIA today reported revenue for the fourth quarter ended January 26, 2025, of $39.3 billion, up 12% from the previous quarter and up 78% from a year ago.

For the quarter, GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.89, up 14% from the previous quarter and up 82% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.89, up 10% from the previous quarter and up 71% from a year ago.
For fiscal 2025, revenue was $130.5 billion, up 114% from a year ago. GAAP earnings per diluted share was $2.94, up 147% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $2.99, up 130% from a year ago.
"Demand for Blackwell is amazing as reasoning AI adds another scaling law—increasing compute for training makes models smarter and increasing compute for long thinking makes the answer smarter," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
"We've successfully ramped up the massive-scale production of Blackwell AI supercomputers, achieving billions of dollars in sales in its first quarter. AI is advancing at light speed as agentic AI and physical AI set the stage for the next wave of AI to revolutionize the largest industries."

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on April 2, 2025, to all shareholders of record on March 12, 2025.

Wrong 22%. That "(22%) q/q" implies gaming lost 22% participation in comparison to the previous quarter, while everything else grew.

2.5B from gaming. It's not the main money maker but it's hardly pocket change. Also it was the quarter before a new gen launched. Plus gaming is one bubble that may never burst.

I knew Nvidia was making bank from Blackwell, but $39 billion is a difficult number to wrap my head around. Crazy revenue

The gaming industry represents 6% of Nvidia's gross income. Easy to understand what's going on with graphic cards.

Yes, artificial scarcity, bad/possibly purposefully malicious quality control, a generational refresh, and a lack of competition.

The gaming market only representing 6% of income, I recall someone saying it was 10% before.
All of the issues with Blackwell shows the gaming market is of little concern to Nvidia.

Thank God, finally I can sleep well knowing that the stock owners doing great bucks while the company built on gamers, basically stopped serving them...

6% of revenue from gaming and down 22%. They don't care about your cards and neither does AMD. AMD was 7% of total revenue and I'm sure it's sliding just like Nvidia.

Nvidia and AMD make more money elsewhere so they don't devote much R&D or production toward gaming anymore. That's why there were no gains and no stock this gen. Even last gen has been discontinued for a while now.

Bonkers, I won't childishly pull out some forum warriors post here saying they were doomed because they lost out powering the XBOX and PlayStation.

It's almost like every idiot that says Ngreedia makes them more money! Delicious.

You haven’t been paying attention it seems. Nvidia has been discussing AI in their financial disclosures for the last 11 years, and enterprise compute for the last 15.

At least try to get your thinking focused on something that has occurred in the past decade.

Gaming was the only losing division and that revenue doesn't even cover their tax bill.

And which segment's been having the quality control and supply problems recently?

There is no "Gaming" any more.

It's "Gaming and AI PC". And we have no idea what's included - but it doesn't matter, Nvidia was caught spreading revenue from one sector to the others before, was found guilty, and they still haven't paid the laughably small fine.


They can present whatever they wish.

Let's not pretend that if Nvidia threw the gaming market a bone everyone wouldn't come crawling back singing their praises.
