Nearly three months after joining the trillion-dollar club, NVIDIA Corporation NVDA is minting more money than ever.

One of the world’s largest chipmakers saw its revenues more than double in the fiscal second quarter, banking on the unparalleled demand for chips needed to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications. For instance, Nvidia’s A100 AI chips are required to operate OpenAI’s ChatGPT services.

In the latest quarter ending Jul 30, Nvidia reported revenues of $13.51 billion, up from $6.7 billion a year earlier, and increased 88% from the prior quarter. Most of the revenues were driven by the company’s data center business, which consists of AI chips.

The data center business improved by leaps and bounds as tech behemoths like Alphabet Inc. GOOGL and Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN, to name a few, grabbed next-generation processors. The data center business accounted for a record $10.32 billion of the total revenues in the said quarter, up 171% year over year.

Among the company’s core businesses, the gaming division also saw stupendous growth in the said quarter. Nonetheless, the company’s earnings for the fiscal second quarter came in at $2.48 per share, a mammoth jump from 26 cents a year ago, and climbed 202% from the previous quarter.

What’s more, the company expects revenues of $16 billion in the quarter ending in October, thanks to the soaring demand for Nvidia’s GPUs needed for AI model training. Thus, the company’s revenue guidance for the current quarter indicated that sales are poised to jump 170% from a year earlier.

The company also reassured that the Biden administration’s latest move to restrict the export of data center GPUs won’t have an immediate impact on Nvidia’s financials as demand for their products continues to remain solid worldwide. All these positive developments, consequently, make Nvidia a compelling buy despite lofty valuations.

Currently, Nvidia flaunts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings has increased 3.9% over the past 60 days. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 138.3%. Shares of Nvidia have already gained a whopping 250.2% so far this year.

But it’s just not Nvidia, from an investment perspective, AI stocks such as Arista Networks, Inc. ANET and RELX PLC RELX are also worth placing a bet on. After all, these stocks are well-positioned to make the most of the booming AI industry.

Allied Market Research reported that the generative AI industry is projected to make $191.8 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 34.1% from 2023 to 2032. AI, in reality, is in demand since this technology improves efficiency levels and drives innovation.

Meanwhile, Arista Networks’ cloud network solutions and data centers provide the necessary processing power for AI workloads. Arista Networks presently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
