TECH DADDY DELIVERS 😍 

Nvidia dropped its latest earnings. It’s a great day to be an Nvidia HODLer.

Here’s the quick need-to-knows:

• EPS (adjusted): $0.81 (vs $0.75 expected)

• Revenue: $44.06B (vs $43.25B expected)

• YoY growth: +69%

• Buzzword count in press release: Infinite

Even with Uncle Sam tightening the screws on exports to China, Nvidia still walked in like:

Can you hear that in the distance? It’s the soft sound of the money printer that is Data centers. BRRRR 💰️ 

That segment alone pulled in $39.1B, up 73% from last year. That’s almost 90% of total revenue. Gaming, robotics, and the rest of the bench chipped in, but let’s be real. Data centers are the one guy in the group project doing all the work and everyone else gets to put their name on it for credit.

Gaming revenue was up 42% YoY and 48% from last quarter. We don’t know what people are playing, but apparently they’re playing a lot.

Now, the messy bits:

• Nvidia lost $2.5B in revenue due to export curbs

• Gross margin took a hit too:

  • Reported: 60.5%

  • Adjusted (if no export drama): 71.3%

In short: margins would be BBL thicc if not for geopolitics.

Now where do they go from here?

Q2 guidance say they’re shooting for $45B revenue (plus or minus 2%).
That includes another $8B expected hit from export curbs.
Wall Street wanted $45.92B, but we doubt anyone’s panicking. This thing is still a rocket ship.

Julian Lin says Nvidia might be shifting from “hypergrowth beast” to “respectable GARP king.” (Growth at a Reasonable Price.)

Wall street’s having an after party on those results & all the chip companies got an invite.

• AMD: up ✅ 

• ARM: up ✅ 

• Intel: also up ✅ (somehow)

• Super Micro: up ✅ 

• Nvidia investors: Partying. The stocks up just shy of 4% as I write this. I expect that’ll carry on into market open tomorrow.

Oh — and a humbling $0.01/share dividend is coming July 3 for anyone holding NVDA on June 11. Not going to change your life, but it’s something.

Nvidia is still the main character of the AI boom. Blackwell is out, demand is up, and even the U.S.-China drama couldn’t slow it down. The question isn’t if AI is the future. It’s how much of it will Nvidia own?

HOW TO CASH IN ON THE BOOM 💥 

Great. Nvidia’s earnings are a win. Now how do we actually make money from it?

Here’s how I’m going to be approaching it in my portfolio.

1. Ride the AI picks-and-shovels wave
Nvidia leading the pack. More importantly, it’s powering the entire AI revolution. Instead of trying to guess the next AI super product, you can bet on the companies selling the tools. Think of:

• Nvidia (GPUs and data centers)

• Super Micro Computer (AI servers)

• Taiwan Semiconductor (makes Nvidia chips)

📌 Action: Build or strengthen a “picks-and-shovels” AI basket. Look for strong margins, scale, and moats in AI infrastructure.

2. Monitor export control risks
Nvidia’s $10.5B hit (current + forecasted) from U.S.-China restrictions shows geopolitics can eat into even the strongest narratives. Other chipmakers like AMD, ASML, and TSM are just as exposed.

📌 Action: Diversify across AI and semiconductor plays in countries with fewer geopolitical risks. Consider U.S.-focused or India-based tech companies with AI exposure but less export drama.

3. Watch for the GARP sweet spot
Analysts say Nvidia’s entering a slower-growth phase but it may now be a GARP stock (Growth At a Reasonable Price). If hyper-growth is cooling, investors will start favoring profitable compounders over moonshots.

📌 Action: Screen your portfolio for balance. Blend some “steady growers” like Nvidia with explosive bets. Avoid overloading on only high-flyers that may not justify their valuations.
