Nvidia’s Profit Beat Signals Potential Upside for AI-Linked Tokens

Nvidia’s Q1 Revenue Surges 69%, Shares Climb on Strong Earnings Amid AI Demand

Nvidia (NVDA) saw its shares rise nearly 4% in after-hours trading on Wednesday after reporting first-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations.

The semiconductor leader posted a 69% year-over-year revenue increase, powered by a 73% jump in its data center business, which remains a critical driver of AI innovation. Net income reached $18.8 billion, marking a 26% rise from the same period last year.

This earnings boost contributed to a modest gain for Nvidia’s stock year-to-date and pushed its annual performance to roughly 20% growth.

Following the earnings report, several AI-related crypto tokens—including Bittensor, NEAR Protocol (NEAR), and Internet Computer (ICP)—posted slight upticks, though they continued to trade lower overall for the day. Nvidia attributed its data center growth to sustained global demand for AI technologies.

Despite the strong results, Nvidia warned that second-quarter revenue may come in below forecasts due to tariff-related trade issues between the U.S. and China.
