He contrasted this outlook with earlier warnings of semiconductor shortages that could last several years.\n\nNvidia reported $96.2 billion total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, a 106% increase year over year, with data‑center revenue reaching $89 billion, up 117%. The company’s purchase commitments hit $279 billion in the quarter, more than double the prior quarter, much of it directed at memory suppliers. CFO Colette Kress said memory‑supply constraints will act as a brake on growth at least until January 2028, and Nvidia expects HBM tightness to persist through the end of fiscal 2028. If scarcity continues, memory makers such as SK Hynix and Micron could see higher margins.","keyPoints":["Nvidia posted $96.2 billion revenue in Q2 FY2027, a 106% YoY rise.","Purchase commitments reached $279 billion in the quarter, over double the previous quarter.","CEO Jensen Huang says no memory glut by 2029; CFO Colette Kress expects constraints through Jan 2028."],"whyItMatters":"Memory supply limits AI hardware costs; Nvidia’s confidence signals sustained demand and could keep memory prices high, benefiting makers and shaping AI deployment plans.","category":{"slug":"hardware","name":"Hardware & Compute","url":"https://digestai.news/category/hardware"},"entities":{"companies":["Nvidia","SK Hynix","Micron"],"models":[],"people":["Jensen Huang","Colette Kress"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-22T06:26:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-22T13:12:38Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"cryptobriefing.com","title":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sees no sign of a memory glut by 2029","url":"https://cryptobriefing.com/nvidia-jensen-huang-no-memory-glut-2029","publishedAt":"2026-10-22T06:26:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"CNBC Technology","title":"Nvidia's Jensen Huang says he sees no sign of a 2029 memory glut: 'You can always use more'","url":"https://cnbc.com/2026/10/22/jensen-huang-nvidia-memory-selloff-shortage.html","publishedAt":"2026-10-22T13:12:38Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"AI Chip War Escalates Across Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/tsmc-manufactures-nvidia-and-apples-ai-chips-via-foundry-model","storyCount":7},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says no memory glut expected by 2029\", 22 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-no-memory-glut-expected-by-2029","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says no memory glut expected by 2029","datePublished":"2026-10-22T06:26:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-says-no-memory-glut-expected-by-2029"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
