Nvidia stock has reacted positively to an adjusted EPS Q4FY23 beat of $0.88 vs $0.80 and a Q1FY24 revenue guide of $6.5B vs $6.32 consensus. The most important on the call was the statement: “We expect sequential growth to be driven by each of our 4 major market platforms led by strong growth in data center and gaming” as it supports the H2 rebound. Nvidia’s current quarter weakness is already priced in, yet the anticipation is high that Nvidia nails the turnaround come the October quarter. This quarter --- especially with the comment on sequential growth comment across all four quarters --- makes this outcome a bit more likely

Google’s $250 Billion AI Chip Opportunity Takes Aim at Nvidia

In April, there was a major shift in the AI accelerator market, and for once, it didn’t come from Nvidia. Six months later, merchant TPUs are moving from announcement to commercial execution, with Google recognizing its first revenue from TPU systems in Q2 (from a small base). Last quarter, Cloud revenue growth accelerated to 82% for $24.8 billion, compared to $22.5 billion expected. In addition, new details around the TPU 8t show that Google’s threat to Nvidia is not limited to inference. At the time, we pointed out that Google may be one of Nvidia’s strongest AI challengers, as Big Tech is closest to the problems that accelerators must solve. The problem that Google is prioritizing is lower cost per token, with token economics becoming a predominant concern as AI spending is pushing Big Tech’s free cash flows into the red. Below, we discuss two reasons why Google’s AI story is about to change, not from advancements in AI software, but by going after one of the most profitable hardware businesses the tech industry has ever seen.
