What the chart shows
Anthropic's filing to list on the Nasdaq gave chip investors plenty to read on Monday: revenue of US$16.3bn in the six months to June, up from US$1.2bn a year earlier, and spending on computing infrastructure, much of which ends up with chipmakers. Nvidia was among the chip shares that rose.
This chart steps back from Anthropic to Nvidia's own record. Its revenue sat between US$3.3bn and US$5.0bn from FY2008 to FY2016, reached US$27.0bn by FY2023, then climbed to US$60.9bn, US$130.5bn and US$215.9bn in the years that followed.
Nvidia's financial year ends in late January, so FY2026 runs from late January 2025 to late January 2026.
