Nvidia Reclaims AI Narrative — But at What Cost to Gross Margins?
Nvidia's record quarter: revenue $96.221bn, +106% year-over-year and past the ~$93.6bn consensus, data center +117%, gross margin held at 75%. Rubin is accelerating toward full production, with Huang framing AI as the point where compute converts directly into revenue. The catch is memory: Q4 gross margin troughs at 71–72%, three to four points conceded to component costs. Shares +4% after hours, carrying memory, optical and cloud names along. Worth remembering the stock has fallen the day after earnings four quarters running. Does the supply chain rally from here?
