Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has reported exceptional fourth-quarter earnings and the semiconductor giant led by Jensen Huang has more than doubled its data center revenue for the full year, posting record quarterly growth compared to its peers.
What Happened: The chipmaker&#8217;s data center revenue exploded in the fourth quarter, hitting a record $35.6 billion. This represents a dramatic 93.5% jump from the same period last year and a solid 15.6% increase from the previous quarter&#8217;s $30.8 billion.
On an annual basis, the revenue for fiscal 2024 was nearly $47.5 billion, which grew more than two times to $115.3 billion in fiscal 2025.
The revenue of its peers, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) also grew sequentially. However, Intel&#8217;s revenue dropped from the same quarter last year.

&#8220;Data centers will increasingly become AI factories, and every company will have either rented or self-operated,&#8221; said Huang during the earnings call.
Highlighting a firm future outlook, Huang added, &#8220;We expect sequential growth from both compute and networking.&#8221;
As Wedbush analyst Dan Ives highlighted the company&#8217;s strength in &#8220;AI Revolution,&#8221; FinChat replied to his X post sharing quarterly data of Nvidia&#8217;s data center revenue over five years. From $1 billion in the January quarter of 2020, the revenue has grown by 3460% to $35.6 billion in the quarter ended January 2025.

Why It Matters: Intel dominated the data center market in 2022, but its reign faltered in 2023 as Nvidia surged ahead. AMD, meanwhile, experienced a slow burn in 2022 and 2023 before igniting in late 2023.
Intel&#8217;s interim CEO, Michelle Holthaus said during its fourth-quarter earnings call that the data center business is an attractive market for the company, &#8220;But I am not happy with where we are today.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re not yet participating in the cloud-based AI data center market in a meaningful way. We have learned a lot as we have ramped Gaudi and we are applying those learnings going forward,&#8221; she added.
Meanwhile, AMD&#8217;s fourth-quarter data center segment revenue increased 69% year-over-year to a record $3.9 billion.
AMD CEO Lisa Su expects strong double-digit growth in its data center business throughout 2025, driven by high demand for both server and GPU products.
Price Action: Nvidia rose 3.67% on Wednesday and fell 1.49% in after-hours, this outpaced the 0.24% rise in the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100 index.

Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) expects Paramount+ subscriber growth to slow in the first quarter of 2025 as the impact of major content releases and the Super Bowl fades.
What Happened: On Wednesday, during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, Paramount reported strong momentum for its streaming platform, adding 5.6 million subscribers in the fourth quarter, marking its best quarter in two years.
The surge was largely driven by high-profile content such as Landman, Tulsa King, and Lioness, along with a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37085784/123m-viewers-make-super-bowl-2024-most-watched-tv-event-ever-paramount-revels-in-streaming-">viewership boost from</a> the Super Bowl.

"We expect continued subscriber growth at Paramount+, though not at the same level as Q4 given the timing of content releases," added Naveen Chopra, Paramount's CFO.
The Super Bowl provided a massive one-time boost, but Paramount+ will need its hit series lineup and international expansion to maintain momentum.
The company still expects profitability for its domestic streaming business in 2025, but the first quarter will serve as a critical test of whether Paramount+ can hold its ground without a major live event to drive signups.

Why It's Important: Paramount Global missed Wall Street&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue estimates on Wednesday. A decline in its cable TV unit overshadowed strong subscriber growth for Paramount+.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PARA">posted</a> $7.98 billion in revenue, falling short of the expected $8.07 billion.
During the earnings call, Paramount Global co-CEO George Cheeks confirmed that the company remains on track to finalize the Skydance merger in the first half of the year.
The Paramount-Skydance deal still requires approval from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. He has launched a news distortion inquiry into the 60 Minutes segment, with results expected <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43579254/trump-vs-cbs-president-threatens-license-over-fraud-and-claims-of-edited-kamala-harris-interview">no sooner than late March</a>.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Paramount&#8217;s Class A shares dipped 0.85% in after-hours trading to $22.25, while Class B shares declined 2.24% to $10.97. During Wednesday's regular session, Class A closed 1.54% lower at $22.44, and Class B fell 2.43% to $11.22, per <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

On Thursday, Japanese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43380849/toyota-retains-top-selling-automaker-position-while-continuing-to-trail-tesla-byd-in-ev-sales" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carmaker</a> Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) said that its production of Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles worldwide rose by about 6% in January, marking the first year-on-year increase in 12 months.
What Happened: The company&#8217;s worldwide production rose 5.6% to 781,729 units in January, on the back of a 22% jump in production within Japan which offset a 1.4% decline in production outside home ground. 
Sales of Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles rose by a meager 0.1% to 785,632 units in January on the back of a 12.5% jump in Japan spurred by the introduction of new vehicles. Sales outside of Japan, however, fell by 2% to 659,098 units following a significant drop in sales in China owing to severe market conditions and intensifying price competition.
In North America, sales fell by 1.1% to 191,186 units. 
Toyota&#8217;s&nbsp;EV Sales:&nbsp;The company sold 382,458 electrified Toyota and Lexus vehicles globally last month, marking a jump of about 18% from Jan.2024.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40745366/toyota-scales-back-2026-ev-production-plans-by-30-trims-target-to-1m-cars-as-global-demand-weakens-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Electrified vehicles</a>&nbsp;refer to hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, mild hybrids, and fuel-cell electric vehicles.
Pure electric vehicles or BEVs accounted for just 3% of Toyota&#8217;s overall electrified vehicle sales last month.

Hino Motors, however, witnessed a 5.6% drop in global sales following a steep 14.3% drop in sales outside Japan.

Toyota Records First Worldwide Production Increase In A Year, But Sales Remain Stagnant In January

Litecoin and Avalanche both traded in the green Wednesday, defying the blood-soaked charts of other established coins.
What happened: LTC rose 2.85% in the last 24 hours, while its trading volume zoomed 34% to $1.94 billion.&nbsp;
The coin, created from the hard fork of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), surged to an intraday high of $128.14 earlier in the day before retracing to $122.
While there was no specific trigger for the rally,&nbsp; traders may be pricing in a high probability of a Litecoin spot exchange-traded fund approval this year.

Artificial intelligence-related cryptocurrencies were the market&#8217;s biggest gainers on Wednesday as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shattered its fourth-quarter revenue record.
What happened: KAITO, the native token of the AI-powered InfoFi network, soared over 40% to become the most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.&nbsp;
The coin's trading volume nearly tripled to $1.87 billion in the last 24 hours, exceeding established coins like Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>).
IP, the native token of Layer-1 blockchain Story, rallied over 19% to generate the second-best returns.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The spike came after Nvidia <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">reported record fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal revenue </a>after Wednesday&#8217;s market close. The quarterly revenue and earnings exceeded analysts' expectations.&nbsp;
That said, shares of the chip-making giant were down 1,49% in after-hours trading, indicating that investors' lofty expectations were not met.
The surge defied the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43996033/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-plunge-deeper-on-trumps-tariff-threats-analyst-hopeful-btc-will-touch-93500-in-relief-rally">broader downturn</a> in the market, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) slipping below $83,000 for the first time in 15 weeks.

Nvidia's Q4 Revenue, Earnings Beat Drives AI-Based Cryptos Higher Even As Major Coins Bleed

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and owner of the Washington Post, announced Wednesday a significant shift in the newspaper&#8217;s opinion section that will prioritize viewpoints <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43760885/jeff-bezos-owned-washington-post-turns-down-ad-campaign-that-asked-whos-running-this-country-donald-trump-or-elon-musk">supporting free markets and personal liberties</a>.
What Happened: In a note shared on X, Bezos wrote that the Post&#8217;s opinion pages will now focus on &#8220;two pillars: personal liberties and free markets,&#8221; with opposing viewpoints &#8220;left to be published by others.&#8221; He justified the change by noting that while newspapers once served readers by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/01/43372393/bezos-vs-bezos-amazon-files-lawsuit-related-to-washington-post-in-major-conflict-of-interest-for-billionaire">providing diverse opinions</a>, &#8220;Today, the internet does that job.&#8221;
&#8220;I am of America and for America, and proud to be so,&#8221; Bezos stated. &#8220;Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.&#8221;
The shift has already resulted in editorial changes. David Shipley, the Post&#8217;s current opinion editor, will step down rather than lead the new direction. Bezos acknowledged, &#8220;This is a significant shift, it won&#8217;t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment.&#8221;

Bath & Body Works Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Fred Thiel, the CEO of&nbsp;MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), discussed on Wednesday the company&#8217;s active collaboration with President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration to bolster Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) mining in the U.S.
What happened: During the company's fourth-quarter earnings call, Thiel said MARA was committed to mining blocks domestically, highlighting how it labels every Bitcoin block it produces as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40335353/marathon-digital-stamps-all-bitcoins-produced-by-its-mining-pool-as-made-in-usa-after-trum">&#8220;made in USA</a>.&#8221;
"Because we believe it&#8217;s a strategic importance to the U. S., not just having a strategic reserve of Bitcoin but also having a predominant amount of block space such that the U. S. can project power and defend the Bitcoin blockchain, regardless of what other nations do," Thiel emphasized.
Thiel assured that MARA will continue to work closely with the executive and legislative branches of the government, at federal and state levels, to ensure the industry&#8217;s best interests are represented and implemented.

MARA Holdings Stock Spikes Over 7% In After-Hours Trading As CEO Assures Commitment To 'Made In USA' Bitcoin Mining

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang said during the company&#8217;s fourth-quarter&nbsp;earnings call that &#8220;No technology has ever had the opportunity to address a larger part of the world&#8217;s GDP than AI.&#8221;
What Happened: This assertion, made as NVIDIA reported a staggering 78% year-over-year revenue increase to $39.3 billion for the fourth quarter, reflects how artificial intelligence rapidly transcends its initial applications to permeate virtually every economic sector.
Huang elaborated on this vision by emphasizing AI&#8217;s transition from specialized tool to mainstream software. &#8220;AI is modern software&#8230; AI has gone mainstream,&#8221; he noted, highlighting how the technology now underpins everyday services from e-commerce and delivery to education and healthcare.
What makes this claim particularly significant is the historical context. Previous technological revolutions—from steam power to electricity to computing—each transformed substantial portions of economic activity. Yet Huang suggests AI&#8217;s reach could be even more expansive, potentially touching nearly every industry simultaneously.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43987636/bitcoin-tumbles-below-85000-amid-president-trumps-eu-tariff-threats" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin Tumbles Below $85,000 Amid President Trump's EU Tariff Threats</a>
Why It Matters: The company&#8217;s forecast of $43 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2026 underscores the accelerating adoption curve.
Unlike previous technologies that often required decades to fully permeate industries, AI is being deployed at unprecedented speed. From traditional enterprises to startups, organizations worldwide are racing to implement AI capabilities, creating what Huang describes as the beginnings of a new era just two years into this transition.
Price Action: Nvidia closed at $131.28 on Wednesday, up 3.67%. In after-hours trading, the stock fell 1.49% to $129.32. Year to date, NVDA is down 5.08%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said the fee will take effect on Apr. 1, with no upper limit established, Reuters reported. Google previously objected during public consultations, arguing it was &#8220;not a rational approach&#8221; to impose all costs on one entity.
Despite these objections, Google had already agreed to pay C$100 million annually to news publishers to maintain news <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/02/19594268/google-launches-paid-news-showcase-platform-in-uk-cnbc">content in search results</a>. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), the only other company meeting the size threshold under the law, instead chose to block news on its Facebook and Instagram platforms in Canada.
The regulation represents part of a global trend requiring tech giants to compensate news organizations. The CRTC noted in its policy notice that the recovery costs can only be levied on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42238248/google-faces-historic-antitrust-lawsuit-in-canada-demanding-sale-of-key-ad-tech-tools">digital platforms covered by the law</a>.
Price Action: Alphabet&#8217;s Class A stock closed at $172.73 on Wednesday, down 1.53%, while Class C fell 1.51% to $174.70, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google-Parent Alphabet Gets Slapped With New Fee By Canada To Fund Online News Act —  Tech Policy Tensions Escalate

U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has condemned the United Kingdom&#8217;s demand for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to create a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; to encrypted iCloud accounts, calling it a &#8220;clear and egregious violation of Americans&#8217; privacy and civil liberties.&#8221;
What Happened: In a letter to British lawmakers Wednesday, Gabbard warned the order would &#8220;open up a serious vulnerability for cyber exploitation by adversarial actors&#8221; and potentially violate the bilateral Cloud Act agreement between the two nations, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/26/tulsi-gabbard-uk-apple">reported</a> The Guardian.
The dispute emerged after the UK Home Office issued a &#8220;technical capability notice&#8221; under the Investigatory Powers Act, requiring Apple to provide access to encrypted user data for law enforcement investigations. In response, Apple removed its Advanced Data Protection encryption feature entirely from the UK market.
Since February, British users attempting to activate ADP have received error messages. The feature, introduced in December 2022, had previously been available as an opt-in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43901425/apple-bows-out-of-uks-cloud-encryption-amid-governments-backdoor-demands">service for UK customers</a>.

Why It Matters: Apple&#8217;s decision continues its history of resisting government demands for user data access, reminiscent of its 2015 refusal to create an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41286584/apple-goes-from-waging-encryption-war-with-fbi-to-holding-hush-hush-global-police-summits-an-evolvin">FBI backdoor following the San Bernardino terror attack</a>.
Cybersecurity experts have criticized the UK government&#8217;s move. Professor Alan Woodward called it an &#8220;act of self-harm,&#8221; while privacy advocate Caro Robson noted it was unprecedented for a company to withdraw a product rather than comply with government directives.
Gabbard indicated she was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43901425/apple-bows-out-of-uks-cloud-encryption-amid-governments-backdoor-demands">unaware of the UK&#8217;s order until media reports surfaced</a>. She has requested insights from various U.S. security agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and NSA, and said national security lawyers are working on a legal opinion regarding the implications.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock closed at $240.36 on Wednesday, down 2.70%. In after-hours trading, the stock declined another 0.30%. Year to date, AAPL is down 1.43%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
