Like the team at Jefferies, Evercore analyst Mark Lipacis and his team were struck by Nvidia's disclosures on the ramp of Blackwell graphics processing units at hyperscale cloud
providers. That was one area of investor worry that the earnings call helped soothe, according to Lipacis. But that wasn't all. "Our sense is that investor concern has centered on
concerns of Blackwell chip/system delays, hyperscaler [capital-expenditure] digestion period, and competitive threats from ASICs," or application-specific integrated circuits, the
Evercore analysts wrote. They cheered 73% year-over-year growth in the data-center business, as well as improving yields on Blackwell that have helped that product make up more than two
thirds of data-center revenue. Meanwhile, Nvidia isn't standing still, as it aims to ramp production of GB300, the next generation of Blackwell, later in the July quarter.
