NVIDIA’s data center business has been a major reason for its recent growth. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the segment’s revenues jumped 92% year over year and 21% sequentially to $75.25 billion.
This strong trend is expected to have continued in the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for data center revenues is pegged at $85.14 billion, indicating an approximately 107.2% year-over-year increase and a 13.1% sequential rise. The main reason behind this strength is the massive AI infrastructure spending by enterprises and hyperscale cloud providers, which rely heavily on NVIDIA’s GPUs to train and deploy AI models.
The company's newest Blackwell and Vera Rubin AI platforms are seeing strong customer adoption due to their superior performance and energy efficiency. These chips are widely used for training large language models and delivering real-time AI responses efficiently. Major technology companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google continue expanding their use of NVIDIA chips across AI-focused products and cloud services, which is expected to have boosted second-quarter performance.
Beyond technology companies, NVIDIA’s chips are increasingly being adopted across industries such as healthcare, automotive, manufacturing and cybersecurity. Its AI platforms help power applications, including digital assistants, recommendation engines, autonomous systems and language translation tools. As AI adoption becomes more widespread, NVIDIA’s importance within the broader technology ecosystem is only expected to grow further.
