Nvidia, the American semiconductor giant, has once again defied expectations, unveiling quarterly earnings that have substantially surpassed market forecasts. This remarkable performance is overwhelmingly fueled by the insatiable global appetite for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, a sector where Nvidia holds a dominant position.

The world is going to end up with billions of agents. And they will all divide into multiple sub-agents and each time it will require computing power.

The company's net profit soared, more than tripling compared to the previous year, reaching an impressive $58.3 billion. Earnings per share, a key metric closely watched by investors, also exceeded analyst consensus, standing at $1.87. This financial triumph underscores Nvidia's critical role in powering the ongoing AI revolution, providing the essential computing power required for advanced AI applications.

From a European perspective, Nvidia's performance highlights both the opportunities and challenges presented by the AI boom. While the continent seeks to bolster its own technological sovereignty, the sheer scale of Nvidia's operations and its integrated platform—spanning processors, servers, and software—positions it as an indispensable player. The company's CEO, Jensen Huang, emphasized Nvidia's unique standing as the sole platform present across all AI domains, from cloud to edge computing. This underscores the strategic importance of such companies and the need for robust domestic capabilities to avoid over-reliance on a single foreign supplier, particularly in critical technological areas.

Investors are questioning the 'durability' of this trajectory, in 2027 and 2028, in a context of increasing competition in the 'in
