Talking point: Demand for chips from companies training and adopting AI models has driven Nvidia’s sales and stock surge. On an earnings call Wednesday, executives said orders for its next-generation Blackwell product are surging, with CFO Colette Kress crediting the orders for US$11 billion in fourth-quarter revenue. Despite the growing popularity of less compute-intensive technology from the likes of DeepSeek, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the firm expects to benefit from a huge build-out of AI infrastructure. Still, the stock dropped as much as 6.6 per cent in Thursday trading.
