Nvidia Fuels AI Bubble While China Gets Benched Again

KEY POINTS

  • Nvidia reported $57 billion revenue in Q3 2025, driven largely by a $51 billion data center surge.
  • CEO Jensen Huang dismissed AI bubble concerns and highlighted Nvidia’s role across all AI phases.
  • Nvidia secured major partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, Uber, and Elon Musk’s xAI startup.
  • Export restrictions and geopolitical tension with China continue to limit Nvidia’s sales there.

Nvidia proudly shattered expectations in Q3 with a jaw-dropping $57 billion revenue, mostly thanks to a dramatic $51 billion haul from its data center division, leaving analysts scrambling to adjust their crystal balls. CEO Jensen Huang bravely tackled 'the AI bubble' rumor head-on, reassuring everyone that Nvidia does everything from 'pre-training to post-training to inference' like a gym coach for algorithms. Meanwhile, $100 billion worth of mind-melting hardware is destined for OpenAI by 2026, Uber just parked beside xAI under Nvidia's GPU shade in Saudi Arabia, and Anthropic isn’t shy spending $30 billion on Microsoft cloud chips powered by Nvidia. Alas, export restrictions have forced Nvidia to ghost China’s AI party yet again, with CFO Colette Kress wearing a polite 'disappointed' hat over the geopolitical weeds. Oh, and one last thing – GPUs are the new bling for robotic cars, rocketing automotive sales up 32% to $592 million, proving robots love Nvidia’s juice almost as much as Facebook loves promoting Threads.
