Key facts: NVIDIA Corporation $96.2B; Meta deal; GPU rental spikes

What happened

NVIDIA posted quarterly revenue of $96.2B, with data center sales of $89.0B, about 92.5% of the total, showing heavy reliance on AI and data-center revenue. NVIDIA also expanded its partnership with Meta to optimize Muse AI model training and inference.

Global impact / market context

NVIDIA earns most of its money from AI data centers, so demand from large customers like Meta strongly affects results. The deal supports future hardware sales, while rising graphics-chip rental prices signal tight supply and continued customer need for computing power.

Analyst inference

Used graphics-chip rental prices rose, with RTX PRO 6000 up about 65% and H100 up about 35%, which means customers still pay more for computing power. NVIDIA chips also hold value above normal six-year depreciation curves, suggesting demand is outpacing the usual decline in equipment value.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Watch whether NVIDIA and Meta turn their exploratory work on OpenShell and Sentry into completed products. The article says this effort is exploratory, not a finished product or a completed deal. Confirmed
2. Watch for details on how the Meta partnership supplies NVIDIA hardware for Meta data centers, since the article does not give order size, timing, or revenue impact from that supply arrangement. Proposed
3. Watch graphics-chip rental prices for signs that computing demand stays strong. Continued increases could support sales of new NVIDIA chips and slow the decline in value of older chips. Analyst inference
