Nvidia's blowout quarter sends stock surging 6%+ as Jensen Huang's 70% revenue growth forecast silences doubters, while Salesforce and CrowdStrike also surge on strong AI demand.

Key takeaways

  • Nvidia guided 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, constrained by supply (primarily memory), with revenue opportunity per gigawatt rising from $18B (Hopper) to $40B (Vera Rubin), signaling sustained AI infrastructure demand.
  • Salesforce reported its strongest net new AOV growth in four years, with agent-force bookings more than doubling quarter-over-quarter, directly refuting the 'SaaS apocalypse' narrative and validating the deterministic AI data layer thesis.
  • Hyperscalers now represent only ~50% of Nvidia's business, with sovereign clouds, neo-clouds, and enterprises driving the other half—and hyperscaler share is expected to decline further as the customer base diversifies.

Why this matters

Nvidia's supply-constrained 70% growth guide and Salesforce's AI-driven bookings acceleration together signal that enterprise AI monetization has shifted from speculative to demonstrably profitable, reshaping capital allocation priorities across cloud, security, and software sectors.
