Customers' feedback indicates robust demand for the company's new technologies, leaving room for further growth in demand.

The revision follows NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s announcement of Q1 FY26 results on May 28, in which the company reported better-than-anticipated earnings and revenue, driven by its booming data center business, recording a 73% year-over-year growth in revenue. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s shares surged 5% in extended trading with investors encouraged by the news that sales hit from China export restrictions were not as bad as feared, as customers stockpiled the chips before the curbs took effect.
