Nvidia continues to demonstrate resilience despite U.S. trade restrictions limiting artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales to China, reporting a revenue increase of 12% from last quarter and nearly 70% year-over-year, reaching $44 billion. While demand for its products remains strong in developed markets, Nvidia anticipates an $8 billion revenue impact due to recent White House restrictions. The company has adapted strategically since U.S. President Donald Trump took office a second time, navigating shifting policies to maintain its dominance in AI markets. CEO Jensen Huang is exploring alternative strategies, including modified AI chips for China and expanding partnerships in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Taiwan.
