Samsung Electronics reported Wednesday a sharp increase in consolidated revenue for the first quarter thanks to strong sales of its new smartphones, but its semiconductor business suffered a setback.

The South Korean semiconductor and smartphone giant said in a statement that it posted 79.14 trillion won ($56 billion) in consolidated revenue for the January-March quarter, calling it an all-time quarterly high. It said its operating profit rose to 6.7 trillion won ($4.7 billion), up from 6.61 trillion won ($4.6 billion) in the same period last year.

Samsung attributed the results to strong sales of its flagship Galaxy S25 smartphone and other high-value-added products.

However, the operating profit of the company’s semiconductor business fell to 1.1 trillion won ($774 million) from 1.91 trillion won ($1.3 billion) in the corresponding quarter last year.

The company said its profits were squeezed by falling average sale prices, as well as reduced demand for high-bandwidth memory as customers wait for the release of next-generation memory chips.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has quickly risen from an obscure semiconductor company to become a household name. The company’s success has mainly been driven by its skyrocketing data center sales, which have boomed as technology companies commit hundreds of billions of dollars to build the most advanced artificial intelligence (AI).

The latest research from The Motley Fool shows that Nvidia easily leads the pack when it comes to data center sales, with $35.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. For reference, Nvidia’s closest data center competitor, International Business Machines, had just $4.2 billion in data center sales during the same period.

Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now.

But how safe is Nvidia’s most important revenue source against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and a potential economic slowdown? Here’s what investors should pay close attention to.

Why data center revenue is crucial for Nvidia’s growth

To understand just how important Nvidia’s data center processor sales are to the company, consider these stats:

Nvidia doesn’t provide specific gross margin figures by revenue segment, but with the vast majority of the company’s sales coming from data centers, it’s safe to assume that of the company’s 75% gross margin, most is coming from its data center segment. This has made Nvidia very profitable, with the company raking in $2.99 in adjusted (meaning not meeting generally accepted accounting principles) earnings per share last year, up 130% from the previous year.

Large tech companies, including AmazonAlphabetMicrosoftMeta Platforms, and others have all tapped Nvidia’s processors for their data centers, but demand for its processors is global as well.

“Countries across the globe are building their AI ecosystem as demand for compute infrastructure is surging,” Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said on the company’s recent earnings call.

Keep an eye on tariffs and data center funding cuts

Semiconductors are exempt from Trump’s tariffs for now, but that might not always be the case. The White House has said it’s looking into semiconductor tariffs, and Trump has said they could be coming soon.

That’s why Nvidia recently announced that it’s moving manufacturing of its Blackwell processor, its most powerful chip, to the U.S. It will take some time for this transition to occur, with Nvidia saying it will happen over the next 12 to 15 months.

F5 (FFIV.O), opens new tab forecast third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates and beat second-quarter revenue estimates on Monday, indicating growing demand for its cloud services, sending its shares up 1.8% in extended trading.

Heightened cybersecurity risks, stemming from accelerated enterprise cloud migration, are driving demand for secure network and application delivery solutions offered by companies like F5.

The increased demand has helped the company offset IT budget cuts amid an environment of economic uncertainty.

The company forecast third-quarter revenue between $740 million and $760 million, above analysts’ estimate of $739 million, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31 came in at $731 million, compared with analysts’ estimate of $718.9 million.

“F5 alleviates the high costs, crushing complexity, and escalating cyber risks IT teams face in an AI-driven hybrid multicloud world,” said CEO Francois Locoh-Donou.

For full-year 2025, the company raised its revenue growth forecast to be between 6.5% and 7.5% up from its previous outlook of 6% to 7% growth.

Excluding items, it forecast earnings per share between $3.41 and $3.53, compared to analysts’ estimate of $3.54 each.

The company reported second-quarter systems revenue of $179 million up 27% from the same period a year ago.

Hilton Worldwide (HLT.N), opens new tab cut its forecast for 2025 room revenue growth on Tuesday, becoming the first U.S.-based hotel operator to temper its outlook as consumer spending on travel takes a hit from a global trade war.

American consumers are growing cautious about discretionary spending such as travel, after President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and the resulting trade war sparked fears of an economic recession.

U.S. consumer sentiment shrank for the fourth month in a row in April, while inflation expectations were at their highest since 1981.

“Travelers are largely in a wait-and-see mode as the rapidly changing macro environment continues to unfold,” CEO Chris Nassetta said on the earnings call.

The McLean, Virginia-based company now expects full-year revenue per available room (RevPAR), a key metric in the hospitality industry, to be flat to up 2%, compared to 2% to 3% previously.

“For now, we believe the lower-end of the FY guidance range is the more likely outcome than the higher-end of guidance,” Truist Securities analyst Patrick Scholes said.

Earlier this month, legacy US carriers Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), opens new tab, Southwest (LUV.N), opens new tab, and American (AAL.O), opens new tab pulled their financial forecast for 2025. Delta added that travel demand has "largely stalled" due to the economic uncertainty fueled by tariffs.

It expects full-year net income to be in the range of $1.71 billion and $1.75 billion, compared to $1.83 billion to $1.86 billion previously.

The Waldorf Astoria-parent posted first-quarter adjusted profit of $1.72 per share, beating Wall Street estimates of $1.61 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG.

It was helped by a 7.7% rise in room revenue in the Americas, a region which covers popular tourist destinations in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean but excludes the U.S..

The company’s total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31 came in at $2.70 billion, up 4.7% from a year earlier.

Mobileye Global (MBLY.O), opens new tab forecast surprise second-quarter revenue growth on Thursday and said the company would not face a direct impact from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, sending its shares up as much as 8%.

Executives of the maker of technology for autonomous-car systems cited the “simplicity” of its supply chain where the company’s customers are the importers of its driver-assistance chips.

As a result, Israel-based Mobileye should not directly incur any material costs from the duties, they said on a post-earnings conference call.

The executives, however, cautioned that Mobileye would be hit if there is a slowdown in global vehicle production and a shift in consumer spending.

“While there is no direct impact, we, of course, will be exposed to any negative impact to vehicle production volume, driven by supply impacts related to tariff costs on vehicles and components imported to the U.S.,” finance chief Moran Shemesh said on the call.

The company expects second-quarter revenue to grow 7% from the previous year, while analysts expect it to fall around 2%, according to data compiled by LSEG. It also reaffirmed its annual revenue forecast.

The forecast helped allay investor worries that the global trade war brought on by the sweeping duties and the resulting macroeconomic volatility would make a major dent in Mobileye’s ability to sell its technology.

“Reaffirming guidance, especially in the face of a worsening macro picture, sends a clear message: ‘We’ve planned for the worst, and we’re not panicking’,” said Jeremy Goldman, senior director of briefings at Emarketer.

He added that Mobileye’s indirect exposure to tariff “pain” gives it a measure of insulation.

The company reported first-quarter revenue of $438 million, compared with estimates of $435.2 million.

Mobileye has been seeing an increase in demand for its systems as customers work through their excess inventory of auto chips they had stockpiled during the pandemic to avoid a crunch.

Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, has delivered its earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, exceeding market expectations on both revenue and profit. Its revenue for the quarter amounted to $90.2 billion, beating analysts’ consensus estimate of $89.2 billion. Net income surged to $34.5 billion, amounting to diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.81 and beating the estimated $2.01.

Advertising remains the backbone of Alphabet’s revenue model – generating a total of $66.9 billion in revenue for the quarter ended March 31. Its Search advertising business generated $50.7 billion, up from $46.2 billion in the same quarter last year and marking an annual growth of 9.8%. Meanwhile, revenue from YouTube advertising amounted to $8.93 billion. Alphabet’s operating income for the quarter amounted to $30.6 billion. while operating margin rose to 34%.

“We’re pleased with our strong Q1 results, which reflect healthy growth and momentum across the business. Underpinning this growth is our unique full stack approach to AI. This quarter was super exciting as we rolled out Gemini 2.5, our most intelligent AI model, which is achieving breakthroughs in performance and is an extraordinary foundation for our future innovation. Search saw continued strong growth, boosted by the engagement we’re seeing with features like AI Overviews, which now has 1.5 billion users per month. Driven by YouTube and Google One, we surpassed 270 million paid subscriptions. And Cloud grew rapidly with significant demand for our solutions,” Sundar Pichai, Alphabet CEO, commented on the matter.

Alphabet had, in the quarter, made a $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity firm Wiz (the largest in its history) and now, its Google Cloud division recorded revenue of $12.26 billion, marking a 28% increase year-on-year, although marginally below expectations of $12.27 billion. Notably, the cloud segment’s operating margin improved significantly to 17.8%, up from 9.4% a year earlier. Revenue from Google Services rose by 10% on an annual basis to amount to $77.3 billion, while operating income from its Cloud and Services divisions amounted to $2.1 billion and $32.68 billion respectively.

Alphabet’s board has also authorized a $70 billion stock repurchase program, alongside a 5% increase in its quarterly cash dividend. The company’s financial performance for the quarter also comes with an $8 billion unrealized gain from its investment in a private company, reportedly Elon Musk’s SpaceX. To add to this, its Other Bets division – which contains Waymo, its autonomous car driving unit (which offers over 250,000 fully autonomous paid rides on a weekly basis in several US states) – generated $450 million in revenue, marking an annual decrease.

The earnings release comes at a time of heightened concern about global trade disruptions and regulatory pressure on Big Tech. President Donald Trump’s recent decision to revoke the de minimis tariff exemption, which allowed imports under $800 to enter the US duty-free, is expected to impact ad spending by retailers from Asia. Google executives acknowledged this change would create “a slight headwind” this year, particularly from companies such as Temu and Shein that have historically relied on low-cost imports and aggressive digital advertising.

Google’s AI Overviews in Search now have “1.5 billion users per month,” CEO Sundar Pichai said in a statement as part of Alphabet’s Q1 2025 earnings.

Google started to widely roll out AI Overviews last May. Despite some awkward suggestions found shortly after their launch, the company has continued to expand upon the tool with updates, showing AI Overviews for more types of queries, and even officially adding ads as it aims to compete with other AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT Search and Perplexity.

AI Overviews are just one of many AI tools the company is working on; in Q1, it rolled out features like the Gemini 2.5 Pro experimental AI model, a feature that lets you make AI podcasts from Gemini’s Deep Research tool, and the Gemini-powered ability for Google Maps to scan screenshots to help you plan trips.

Google also announced in March that it would be officially dumping Assistant for Gemini on mobile “over the coming months,” and on today’s earnings call, Pichai said that “tablets, cars, and devices that connect to your phones such as headphones and watches,” would be moved over to Gemini later this year.

On the hardware front in Q1, Google announced the Pixel 9A, though it didn’t launch the phone until April 10th due to a “component quality issue.”

During Q1, Google earned $90.2 billion in revenue, a 12 percent increase year-over-year. In its earnings release, Pichai also highlighted that the company passed 270 million subscriptions, a figure that’s “driven by YouTube and Google One.”

One thing looming over Google right now, however, is the possibility that it will be broken up due to major losses in antitrust cases brought against the company by the US Department of Justice. The remedies trial following the ruling that Google is a monopoly in search is happening now, while Google lost its ad tech monopoly case in a ruling announced last week.

Netflix said in its first quarter earnings report on Thursday that revenue reached $10.5 billion in the months since it raised prices. That’s a 13 percent increase over the same time last year.

The streaming service’s net income also grew to $2.9 billion, and the company says it expects more growth in the coming months when it sees “the full quarter benefit from recent price changes and continued growth in membership and advertising revenue.”

Netflix raised the prices across most of its plans in January, with its premium plan hitting $24.99 per month. It also increased the price of its Extra Member option — its solution to password sharing — to $8.99 per month. Though Netflix already rolled out the increase in the US, UK, and Argentina, the streamer now plans to do the same in France.

This is the first quarter that Netflix didn’t reveal how many subscribers it gained or lost. It decided to only report “major subscriber milestones” last year, as other streams of revenue continue to grow, like advertising, continue to grow. Netflix last reported having 300 million global subscribers in January.

During an earnings call on Thursday, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said the company expects to “roughly double” advertising revenue in 2025. The company launched its own advertising technology platform earlier this month.

There are some changes coming to Netflix, too, as Peters confirmed that its homepage redesign for its TV app will roll out “later this year.” He also hinted at adding an “interactive” search feature using “generative technologies,” which sounds a lot like the AI feature Bloomberg reported on last week.

Netflix has cemented itself as the top streaming option with its library of hit original content and has become a necessity for fans of WWE’s Monday Night Raw. Since airing the live boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul last year, Netflix has taken even bigger strides in live content with the debut of a late-night talk show with comedian John Mulaney and a planned rematch between boxers Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor in July.

The ChatGPT-maker expects to earn $12.7 billion in revenue this year, Bloomberg reported, which would be a massive jump from the $3.7 billion in annual revenue it raked in last year (The New York Times previously reported that OpenAI expected to earn $11.6 billion this year). It also expects to bring in $29.4 billion in revenue next year. This new revenue projection comes just months after the startup launched a $200 a month tier.

OpenAI reportedly has internally projected that its revenue will more than triple in 2025, reaching $12.7 billion, up from $3.7 billion in 2024. According to a report by Bloomberg, this anticipated growth is attributed to the expanding adoption of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence products and services, including various subscription offerings for both consumers and businesses.

Notably, the Sam Altman-lead company had informed in February 2025 that it had surpassed 2 million paying business users, doubling its enterprise customer base since September 2024.

However, despite this expanding customer base and projected revenue growth, the Microsoft-backed AI trendsetter does not expect to become cash-flow positive until 2029. This is primarily because the development and deployment of advanced AI systems involve huge costs, including investments in specialized hardware, data centers, etc. These expenses currently outpace the company’s revenue, leading to ongoing financial losses.

Additionally, Microsoft is no longer OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider, allowing OpenAI to explore other options like Oracle. In fact, recently OpenAI entered into a five-year, $11.9 billion agreement with CoreWeave. Under this partnership, the ChatGPT maker will have access to CoreWeave’s advanced cloud computing infrastructure, which is essential for training and deploying large-scale AI models.

Microsoft reported Q2 2025 financial performance today with earnings per share of $3.23 on revenue of $69.6 billion, exceeding analyst estimates.

In announcing the results, CEO Satya Nadella highlighted “the massive opportunity ahead” for customers using AI and stated that the company’s AI business has an annual run rate of $13 billion, up 175 percent year-over-year.

Microsoft CFO Amy Hood noted total Microsoft Cloud revenue of $40.9 billion, up 21%. Business highlights announced by the company include:

Last quarter, Microsoft reported Q1 2025 reported EPS of $3.30 on revenue of $65.6 billion, exceeding analyst estimates.

A year ago in Q2 2024 Microsoft reported EPS of $2.93 on revenue of $62.0 billion, also exceeding analyst estimates. At that time, Dynamics 365 revenue growth was 26% and Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue growth was 20%.
