Nvidia Q1 Earnings miss as China export curbs trigger $4.5B charge
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock fell 0.51 per cent Wednesday after reporting Q1 2025 revenue of US$44.1 billion, up 12 per cent from the previous quarter and up 69 per cent from a year ago
The company beat expectations on revenue but stated that it expects to miss out on roughly US$8 billion in revenue due to losses from the ban on shipments of its H20 chips to China
Nvidia's data centre segment, its largest and fastest-growing business, generated US$39.1 billion in revenue, up from US$22.5 billion a year ago
Nvidia stock (NASDAQ:NVDA) last traded at US$134.81
Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) fell 0.51 per cent at Wednesday's close after reporting Q1 2025 revenue of US$44.1 billion.
This result is up 12 per cent from the previous quarter and up 69 per cent from a year ago.
The company beat expectations on revenue but stated in a news release that it expects to miss out on roughly US$8 billion in revenue due to losses from the ban on shipments of its H20 chips to China. The company was notified of the restrictions on April 9, 2025, which significantly impacted its ability to fulfill demand in the region.
Prior to the restrictions, Nvidia had recorded US$4.6 billion in H20 sales for the quarter. However, it was unable to ship an additional US$2.5 billion in H20 revenue due to the new licensing rules, leading to excess inventory and purchase obligations.
The chipmaker posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.81 on revenue of US$44.1 billion, missing analysts' consensus estimates of $0.93 EPS on US$43.3 billion in revenue, according to Bloomberg data. Adjusted for a one-time charge related to its H20 chips, Nvidia said EPS would have reached $0.96, beating expectations.
This compares to adjusted EPS of $0.61 on US$26 billion in revenue during the same quarter last year, highlighting the company's continued explosive growth in the AI and data centre markets.
Nvidia's data centre segment, its largest and fastest-growing business, generated US$39.1 billion in revenue, up from US$22.5 billion a year ago. However, this figure narrowly missed Wall Street's forecast of US$39.2 billion.

Fall of Mongolian coalition government could lead to severe economic downturn
Mongolia faces a crunch parliamentary vote on Monday which could lead to fall of coalition government New analysis from Mongolian Economic Development Board indicates this could lead to a sharp fall in national income and foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as spiralling inflation Political instability will jeopardise economic progress achieved in the last few years ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia, May 31, 2025 /CNW/ -- As Mongolia's parliament prepares to vote on Monday on whether the country's coalition government should remain in office, new economic analysis warns that the demise of the government could see the size of Mongolia's economy contract by over 20% within six months, and FDI fall by almost 40% year-on-year. Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene called on Wednesday for members of the Great State Khural to decide on whether the coalition government, which has been in place since last June's parliamentary elections, should remain as a way of ending recent political instability. The Prime Minister is due to address the Khural on Monday ahead of a 'confidence vote' – likely to be deemed one of the most important moments in Mongolia's political history since becoming a democracy in the early 1990s. As the vote approaches, new economic data – which can be viewed in full here – produced by Mongolia's Economic Development Board warns of the scale of the economic hit Mongolia could face, namely: A 22% reduction in Gross National Income within six months A 12.2% increase in inflation within a year Year-on-year unemployment rising to 2.5% The Mongolian Tugrik depreciating against the US Dollar by 17.9% by the end of 2025 An 18-point year-on-year decrease in Mongolia's Political Stability Index These forecasts are in line with the experiences of other countries where political instability has had a negative impact on the economy, including following the fall of a coalition government: According to data from the World Bank and other key sources, the coalition breakdown in Estonia caused FDI to tumble from 7.54% in 2021, to 0.74% in 2024, and its economic growth to stall from 7.3% in 2021, to -0.9% in 2024 An international study analysing data from up to 169 countries between 1960 and 2004 has concluded that high levels of political instability are associated with lower GDP per capita growth, particularly due to declining productivity growth and reduced accumulation of physical and human capital Commenting, Dr Batnasan B., Professor at the Business School of the National University of Mongolia and Member of the Economic Development Board, said: " The latest data clearly highlights the potential economic consequences of a collapse in Mongolia's coalition government: a sharp economic downturn, runaway inflation, and a rise in unemployment. "It is entirely appropriate that elected representatives decide who governs the country. But it is equally important that such decisions are made with full access to the facts and a clear understanding of the potential risks. "The Economic Development Board's analysis—combined with lessons from other countries that have faced similar circumstances—presents a compelling warning: all the hard-won economic progress Mongolia has achieved in recent years could be jeopardized if Monday's vote results in increased political instability." This new analysis, as well as precedent from around the world, clearly shows the magnitude of the decision to be taken by lawmakers on Monday, and the jeopardy to the significant economic progress Mongolia has made since the COVID-19 pandemic, including adding $9 billion USD to its economy and increasing GDP per capita by an additional $2,400.

Could This Unstoppable Company Dethrone Nvidia as the Top AI Stock Investment?
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been the top AI investment since the AI arms race kicked off in 2023. Over that time frame, Nvidia's stock has risen over 800%, turning every $10,000 invested into over $90,000. There aren't many stocks that can claim returns like that, let alone any that have grown to the size of Nvidia. However, some troubles are brewing over at Nvidia that investors must know about. Nvidia has essentially been the sole source of AI computing hardware, allowing it to charge a premium price for its graphics processing units (GPUs). This has caused Nvidia's margins to soar, and its customers are aware of this. The old saying, "Your margins are my opportunity," rings true here, and many of its clients are starting to investigate using custom AI accelerators instead of GPUs. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) has become a valuable partner in designing these custom AI accelerators, which it calls XPUs. A massive market for this hardware could emerge over the next few years, as companies are now ready to optimize their AI training after the valuable lessons learned since 2023. Broadcom expects monster growth from its XPU products GPUs, like the ones Nvidia makes, are incredible pieces of hardware. They can process multiple calculations in parallel and perform a wide range of tasks, from AI model training to mining cryptocurrency to engineering simulations to drug discovery. However, if a company is only going to use it to train AI models, Nvidia's cutting-edge GPUs have a decent amount of features that aren't needed. That's where XPUs shine, as they can be designed around running a single type of workload. By optimizing for a workload, XPU clients can tailor their computing hardware to their needs and only pay a slight premium to Broadcom for their design services rather than pay out the nose for some of Nvidia's GPUs. Broadcom's management team is incredibly bullish on this trend. They believe that the total addressable market for XPUs from just three clients will be between $60 billion and $90 billion by 2027. Two additional clients are slated to launch their XPUs by the end of the year, and two more clients have recently selected Broadcom as a partner to design their own XPUs. This is a huge trend that investors can't ignore, but it isn't the end for Nvidia. GPUs still have a place in AI training and other use cases, and many cloud computing providers understand that their clients want access to GPUs because they are flexible. However, XPU usage is expected to grow much faster than GPU usage, which suggests that Broadcom could potentially overtake Nvidia as the top AI hardware player over the next few years. Personally, I own both stocks, as I believe there is still a huge market for GPUs and XPUs. If you made me pick one, I'd point to Broadcom as the outperformer over the next few years. But there may be one thing holding it back. Broadcom's stock already has some success baked into it Broadcom's stock is far from cheap, and it actually holds a premium to Nvidia because the market isn't blind to the rise of XPUs. NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts At nearly 36 times forward earnings, Broadcom's stock has a premium price tag. However, if there is a dramatic expansion of XPU usage, like management projects, today's stock price will be a fair price moving forward. Investors must watch Broadcom's results to understand how its XPU business is faring. Still, all indications point toward XPUs being a major success, and investors would be wise to scoop up Broadcom shares before it takes off. Should you invest $1,000 in Broadcom right now?
