Where does growth come from?
Gross margins have entered a sharp reversal, dropping from 78.4% a year ago to 60.5%. This is primarily due to a massive $4.5 billion inventory charge related to China export controls on the H20 chip and the costs of ramping complex new systems. (1 reversing, 1 decelerating across 2 signals)
“Gross margin decreased from a year ago and sequentially, primarily due to a $4.5 billion charge associated with H20 excess inventory and purchase obligations and the initial ramp of more sophisticated systems within Data Center.”
Data Center revenue is showing massive year-over-year growth of 73%, though it is decelerating compared to the triple-digit growth rates seen in previous fiscal years. Sequentially, growth remains positive at 10%. (1 decelerating, 2 accelerating, 1 steady across 4 signals)
