Nvidia said on its fiscal 2027 second-quarter earnings call that it expects revenue to grow 70% in fiscal 2028, a figure well above the 44% Wall Street consensus compiled by LSEG. Based on market forecasts for fiscal 2027 revenue of $396 billion, that growth rate would take Nvidia to roughly $673 billion in annual revenue in fiscal 2028. At that level, current Wall Street estimates suggest Nvidia would surpass both Apple and Alphabet, ranking as the second-largest U.S. technology company by revenue, behind Amazon, whose business is still primarily driven by retail. CEO Jensen Huang said actual demand growth is “far above 70%,” but current supply capacity only allows the company to issue guidance it can support with confidence. He also said tight global supplies of memory chips and other components are constraining a higher outlook, while Nvidia continues to work with supply-chain partners to expand capacity. Huang added that AI infrastructure demand has broadened from a small group of hyperscale cloud providers and a single frontier lab to a wider customer base that now includes regional AI companies, neo-cloud providers, startups, enterprises, open-model ecosystems and physical AI.

Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said on the company’s fiscal 2027 second-quarter earnings call that Nvidia expects revenue to grow 70% in fiscal 2028, well above the 44% Wall Street consensus tracked by LSEG.

Using the market forecast of $396 billion in Nvidia revenue for fiscal 2027, a 70% increase would lift annual revenue to about $673 billion in fiscal 2028. Based on current Wall Street projections, that would put Nvidia ahead of Apple and Alphabet and make it the second-largest U.S. technology company by revenue, behind Amazon, which still derives most of its business from retail.

Huang says demand is running above the company’s formal outlook

Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said actual demand growth is 「远高于 70%」 (“far above 70%”), but the company’s current supply capacity only supports a 70% forecast that it can issue with confidence.

He said tight global supplies of memory chips and other components are preventing Nvidia from giving a higher outlook. The company will keep working with supply-chain partners to expand capacity.

Why Nvidia is giving a longer-term forecast

Huang said Nvidia has rarely offered such a long-range performance forecast in the past, but the company can now already see next year’s computing demand. At the same time, data-center partners involved in land and power are committing substantial resources, so Nvidia needs to give partners a consistent message.

He also said demand for AI infrastructure has expanded beyond an early phase driven by a small number of hyperscale cloud service providers and a single frontier laboratory. That demand now comes from a broader set of customers, including regional AI companies, neo-cloud providers, startups, enterprise clients, the open-model ecosystem and physical AI.
