Investors are currently witnessing an unprecedented artificial intelligence (AI) build-out. Cloud computing platforms, AI labs, and even governments need access to powerful graphics processing units to train and deploy AI models. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is the winner of this trend.
The top AI stock posted unbelievable year-over-year revenue growth of 85% in its fiscal 2027 first quarter (ended April 26). Demand for its chips has been off the charts. And management doesn't think the party will stop. Chief financial officer Colette Kress said on the earnings call that AI infrastructure spending will total $3 trillion to $4 trillion by the end of the decade.
Nvidia's profit gains have been even more impressive. In Q1, the company's diluted earnings per share skyrocketed 214%. This bottom-line metric is up an astonishing 2,815% since the first quarter of fiscal 2024 three years ago, as the business sits in the driver's seat of the ongoing AI boom.
These incredible financial gains have made Nvidia the world's most valuable company, with a market cap of $4.7 trillion.
