Nvidia Q2 2025 Earnings: Revenue and Earnings Beat Estimates, Shares Fall

Nvidia's Q2 2025 revenue and earnings beat estimates, but shares fell post-earnings. Data center revenue missed forecasts, and H20 chip shipments to China remain uncertain. Nvidia projects $3-$4 trillion in AI infrastructure spending by 2030. Despite upbeat earnings, Nvidia shares slipped as data center revenue fell short of forecasts and signs of slowing growth emerged.

Nvidia reported Q2 2025 revenue of $46.7 billion and net income of $26.4 billion, surpassing Wall Street estimates. The quarter saw a 56% year-over-year revenue increase, driven by robust demand for AI chips. Despite the strong performance, shares fell about 3.3% in after-hours trading, primarily due to near-term guidance concerns and uncertainty around H20 sales to China [2].

Key figures include a 6% sequential rise in revenue, GAAP EPS of $1.08, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.05, with a profit margin of around 72.4%. However, data center revenue missed forecasts, with a 53% year-over-year growth expected but actual results showing a lower figure. The company confirmed no H20 sales to China in Q2, citing US export restrictions and licensing requirements [2].

Nvidia's earnings announcement has become a cultural phenomenon and a litmus test for the AI boom, with investors closely watching the company's quarterly results. The stock's volatility reflects the broader market's expectations and concerns about the AI-related stock bubble and geopolitical risks, particularly around China [3].

Looking ahead, Nvidia projects $3-$4 trillion in AI infrastructure spending by 2030, indicating continued growth potential. However, the company must navigate export policy uncertainties and maintain its leadership position in AI hardware. Despite the challenges, Nvidia remains a key player in the AI market, with a diversified customer base and strong product leadership [1].
