Overview
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at GTC that he expects $1 trillion in orders for Blackwell and Vera Rubin chips through 2027.
The $1 trillion projection doubles a previous estimate of about $500 billion in demand for Blackwell and Rubin through 2026.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives described the period for the technology industry as a "white-knuckle period," reflecting investor caution.
Nvidia's annual revenue rose from $27 billion in 2022 to $216 billion last year, translating into a roughly $4.5 trillion market value, according to the company.
Nvidia said it expects to ramp up production of Rubin in the second half of the year.
