Nvidia’s Q2 2025 Earnings Report contains both encouraging and dismal statistics. Although the firm had a record $46.7 billion in revenue, its access to Chinese markets completely vanished.

The company also reported $60 billion in stock buybacks, outspending its own substantial revenue. Chinese competition is probably going to increase, and this could cause extremely serious problems.

Nvidia’s Mixed Earnings Report

Nvidia’s last quarterly Earnings Report was very bullish, but it’s proven a tough act to follow. Between tariff concerns, AI bubble fears, and more, the American chip manufacturer has a lot on its plate.

Today’s Earnings Report appeared positive on the surface, but the stock market evidently isn’t happy.

So, why is this? Nvidia reported higher revenue and earnings per share than it expected or achieved in Q1, and its net income rose, too. $46.7 billion in revenue is a mind-boggling sum, so how could this be bearish?

For one thing, data center revenue fell short of expectations. Additionally, the firm announced a $60 billion stock buyback, and buybacks are rarely a sign of good health. To outspend its record-breaking quarterly revenues by nearly $15 billion to do so, then, is deeply concerning.

Chinese Competitors Arise

The biggest issue in Nvidia’s Earnings Report, however, is the true cost of Trump’s trade war. The company relies on the AI industry to continue its wild growth, and it lost access to Chinese markets.

We already knew that China was pushing Nvidia out of its domestic markets after Trump tried to mandate backdoors on the company’s products. We also knew that Chinese manufacturers were trying to compete with Nvidia, aiming to triple their chip production by next year.

What we didn’t know, however, was how far this reorientation had already progressed. Nvidia’s Q1 2025 Earnings Report claimed that it sold $4.6 billion in H20 chips to Chinese buyers.

Throughout Q2, however, the firm was completely unable to sell its products in the nation. This multibillion-dollar market completely ejected Nvidia in one quarter.

That market absence isn’t just a momentary setback. In a way, it signals a horizon closing forever. If China can cut out Nvidia cold-turkey like that, it must have ways of replacing the lost product.

Chinese manufacturers are probably going to become Nvidia’s biggest competitors in the near future.

Still, Nvidia managed to achieve this record-breaking revenue despite the total absence of this huge market. The company has to face some serious problems, but it’s very far from collapse.

DeepSeek wrought havoc on US-based AI firms, and this Earnings Report details a similar crisis brewing at Nvidia.

Nvidia is facing some serious challenges, but it has the tools to keep going. The next few months could be critical for its future.
