NVIDIA reported $96b of quarterly revenue and guided the next quarter to $108b, which would be the first time a chip company passes $100b in a single quarter. Growth is shifting away from the largest cloud providers, whose spending rose 13% from the prior quarter against 25% for other buyers. To support those smaller buyers NVIDIA stretched payment terms, pushing unpaid customer bills to $63b.
