Summary
Nvidia shares jumped nearly 8% after the company posted better-than-expected fiscal 2027 second-quarter results and signaled strong sales growth into next year.
Less-than-1-year returns on AI infrastructure are driving that demand, CEO Jensen Huang said, arguing customers can profit quickly even from $50 billion data centers.
Amazon Web Services added fresh proof by agreeing to buy 2 million more Nvidia GPUs in 2027 and 2028, while also adopting Vera CPUs and Nvidia robotics technology.
That commitment stands out because Amazon is building its own AI chips, suggesting Nvidia hardware still offers compelling economics alongside in-house alternatives.
Nvidia said current-quarter growth will be led mainly by non-hyperscalers, with neoclouds and enterprises joining big cloud providers in broadening the AI spending base.
