Let's dive a little bit deeper into the NVIDIA earnings. Who do you want to dive deeper in than Dan Ives? No better person right now. That's our guy. I mean, he's getting geared up for Penn State, Nevada this weekend, but he's probably focusing a little bit here on NVIDIA. Hey, Dan, I thought these numbers were darn good, but I know there's the law of large numbers.
I know there's a whole thing about expectations. Give us your take on these NVIDIA numbers, Dan.
I thought they were robust. And I think to some extent when you factor China in, they actually beat expectations, especially when you look at the outlook. I think there's a stock that's up today. And I think it further validates what we obviously have been talking a lot with you and the team about, about the AI story now playing out into the next stage of growth. This is bullish in my opinion.
Dan, what was your takeaway here as it relates to a lot of the spending here, CapEx?

Chapter 2: What were Nvidia's second-quarter results?
I think it just shows there's one ship in the world fueling the AI revolutions, led by Godfather of AI, Jensen Evidence. And you look what's happened on CapEx, it's just continuing to accelerate. And then you factor in China, that could be 50 billion. I mean, and Jen's talking about the 50% growth.
Look, I think this is just now, it's showing the next phase of the AI revolutions now starting to play out, especially when you combine it with hyperscalers and everything we've seen from Palantir, now Snowflake, MongoDB, the use cases are expanding.
Dan, flesh out for us the whole China situation. Where is NVIDIA today vis-a-vis China? And how do you think this is going to play out over the coming quarters with their H20 chip?
Yeah. Paul, look, they're caught in the middle between U.S. and China. But the reality is Jensen's 10 percent politician, 90 percent CEO. And Trump administration knows biggest chip on the poker table is NVIDIA. So as this all plays out there, it's a pay for play model. They're going to have access to China, even if it's restricted.
And that's going to add an incremental, what, two, five, six billion per quarter. And, you know, even though Beijing saying, telling, you know, maybe companies, you don't want to buy NVIDIA chips. That's like telling a kid not to eat candy. Big tech in China wants NVIDIA chips.
So, I mean, as we dig in here into the data, what we saw from the earnings report, what is your takeaway in terms of what they were able to see specifically in terms of data center AI demand? That's definitely something that's been in focus here with this report.
Yeah, look, I think it's noise in terms of any quote-unquote like mist. Because when you factor China in, it's basically over a billion and a half feet. They're seeing demand accelerate. I mean, no region is not showing accelerations. And now you're starting to factor in what's going to happen in the Middle East, what's going to happen in China, what's going to happen in the rest of the world.
And you're really talking about one chip that's fueling it. So when I look in a video, I think there's a $5 trillion mark cap potentially by a year under early 26. And it's just further validation for the AI revolution thesis.
So talk to us, Dan, about their customer base and the concentration of their customers. And I know they want to broaden out their customer base, maybe to sovereigns and to other net buyers out there. How do you think that's going to evolve?

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Nvidia's AI story for its stock?
I mean, Intel is, you know, so many years behind. You know, they continue to really have just a massive uphill battle. And that's why NVIDIA is top of the mountain.
All right, Dan, your Penn State Nittany Lions open the season Saturday, 3.30 p.m. on the CBS Television Network and Paramount Plus against Nevada. 43.5-point favorites. How do you feel about your Nittany Lions this year?
I mean, look, I was at practice last week, State College. I told you, I think this is the year. I think we win the natty. We have some tough games at Oregon, Ohio State, but I think Big Ten continues to hold the mantle. I like Al R. Singleton and Penn State. I think we'll be holding the trophy in January.
I like the call. Nice and clear and confident. Dan Ives, Global Head of Technology at Wedbush Securities. We appreciate getting a few minutes of Dan's time here today on NVIDIA and Big Tech.
