Nvidia Plans $150 Billion Annual Spending in Taiwan
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced on May 27, 2026 that the company will expand heavily in Taiwan, increasing annual spending in the region to about $150 billion and beginning construction this year on a new office complex called Constellation that can accommodate 4,000 employees when it opens in 2030. Taiwan’s Taiex index closed at a record high after the news, and major Taiwanese chip stocks such as TSMC, MediaTek and Delta Electronics rose. Nvidia reported record quarterly revenue of $81.6 billion for the quarter ended April 26 and is forecasting $91 billion for the current quarter. The expansion contrasts with declining revenue from mainland China and Hong Kong and coincided with shares of several mainland China chip players sliding; the article also notes Huawei’s new “LogicFolding” approach and Huang’s comments on “physical AI.”
A major capital expenditure announcement from Nvidia — a leading AI chip designer — will materially affect global semiconductor demand, supply chains, and AI infrastructure investment, influencing manufacturers (e.g., TSMC) and technology capacity planning.

Nvidia Earnings Highlight $200B CPU Opportunity
Nvidia reported a blockbuster quarter on May 20, 2026, with revenue rising 85% to $82 billion, an $80 billion share buyback and a dividend increase. The company reorganized how it reports results into two categories—data center and edge computing—signalling a push beyond GPUs into PCs, robotics and automotive. Nvidia promoted its new Vera CPU as opening a potential $200 billion CPU market and forecast about $20 billion in CPU revenue this year. CEO Jensen Huang acknowledged challenges in China’s AI chip market amid competition from Huawei. Despite the results and guidance, Nvidia shares fell nearly 2% in post‑earnings trading. The report also noted broader tech-market moves including U.S. grants for quantum firms, Anthropic revenue guidance and OpenAI’s IPO filing preparations.
Nvidia CEO predicts 70% revenue growth amid AI infrastructure surge
At the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reiterated his forecast of 70% year-over-year revenue growth for the next fiscal year, driven by soaring demand for AI infrastructure. Huang emphasized that Nvidia's products are no longer simple chips but massive computing systems costing up to $8.5 million, with thousands shipped. He cited 27% month-over-month growth for the GB200 NVL72 system, combining Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs. Huang also addressed concerns about competition from hyperscalers and AI labs building their own chips, as well as startups like Cerebras and Etched, asserting Nvidia's foundational role across the AI ecosystem. He dismissed criticisms of 'circular' investments, claiming $100 billion in verified contracts from AI companies. The company expects to end the current fiscal year at around $400 billion in revenue, with 70% growth implying approximately $680 billion next year.
Nvidia stock jumps after blockbuster earnings
Nvidia shares rose about 6% in premarket trading after the company reported strong earnings and provided upbeat revenue guidance for fiscal 2028. CFO Colette Kress forecasted 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028, while CEO Jensen Huang said demand likely exceeds that figure but supply constraints limit shipment. Nvidia said its AI Clouds, industrial, and enterprise (ACIE) customers generated $40.3 billion in sales for the quarter, up 138% year-over-year. Analysts noted supply issues at TSMC and memory shortages, and some flagged a potential competitive threat from custom AI chips being developed by hyperscalers and AI labs.
