Nvidia Shares Rise After Strong Quarterly Beat
20th Nov. 2025
Chipmaker Nvidia has posted stronger-than-expected quarterly results on November 20, 2025. It ease concerns about heavy artificial intelligence spending that had rattled markets in recent weeks. Revenue for the three months ending in October surged 62% to $57bn, powered by relentless demand for its AI data-centre chips. That division alone generated more than $51bn, a 66% jump that pushed the company’s shares up roughly 4% in after-hours trading.
Despite intense scrutiny over soaring AI valuations, Nvidia’s fourth-quarter sales forecast of about $65bn has exceeded Wall Street expectations. In result, it reinforced Nvidia’s status as a bellwether of the global AI boom. Chief executive Jensen Huang told analysts, “Demand for the firm’s Blackwell AI systems was off the charts.” “While cloud-focused GPUs were already sold out. There also been a lot of talk about an AI bubble, but from out point of view, we see something very different”, he added.
Rising AI Costs Create Fresh Pressure for Nvidia Shares
Even if Nvidia’s figures were good, there is still a lot of worry about AI’s high prices. Those fears drove four consecutive daily declines in the S&P 500 ahead of the earnings release, contributing to nearly a 3% slide in the index this month. Analysts said the bar was unusually high for Nvidia, with markets expecting not just a beat but a significant one.
LPL Financial’s Adam Turnquist noted that investors were watching closely for details on Nvidia’s ability to fulfil massive demand. The company has projected $500bn in AI chip orders through next year. At the same time, chief financial officer Colette Kress said it would “probably” receive additional orders beyond those already disclosed. However, she expressed frustration over US export restrictions to China.
Meanwhile, Nvidia deepened its global footprint by announcing a major data-centre project in Saudi Arabia alongside Elon Musk. His AI company, xAI, will serve as the complex’s first client, with hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips set to power the facility.
Nvidia Becomes World’s First $5tn Company
As its global presence expands, Nvidia also reached a historic milestone this week, becoming the world’s first $5tn company. The achievement underscored Nvidia’s growing dominance in the AI sector. It strengthened investor confidence as debates persist over inflated valuations and the long-term future of the industry’s rapid expansion.
