Opinion: A crypto-influenced boom amid a chip shortage? Sounds familiar, but Nvidia

Opinion: A crypto-influenced boom amid a chip shortage? Sounds familiar, but Nvidia
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


A semiconductor shortage. Intense interest in cryptocurrency. Record annual revenue and profit.

All of that sounds familiar for Nvidia Corp.
NVDA,
+2.52%,
which boomed to records in 2018 amid chip shortages and demand from miners of cryptocurrency, before falling back to earth with a thud in 2019. With a stellar 2020 that beat 2018’s record performance, thanks to some of the same dynamics, it is fair to wonder if Nvidia is again going to end a period of intense demand with a glut of oversupply.

Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress tried to put those fears to rest Wednesday.

“The market feels very different than it did before,” Kress said in an interview with MarketWatch after the chip designer revealed more than $5 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time.

Kress said that Nvidia is better prepared for a potential surge in demand from crypto miners, as it is now offering a specific graphics card designed just for crypto-mining. Last week, it introduced a specialized card and chipset for crypto-miners, and unveiled features for its upcoming RTX 3060 card designed for videogamers that would slow down the system if the cards were used for mining digital currency.

“The industry is developing,” Kress said, referring to the cryptocurrency market, adding that more industries are starting to accept it. She also noted that in Nvidia’s case, the company has an “installed base of existing mining machines that likely just restarted up or were put into the overall market to do mining.”

She forecast that sales for its cryptocurrency-mining processor, or CMP, will be around $50 million in the current quarter. CMP is designed to mine for ethereum
ETHUSD,
+1.06%,
a much lower-cost digital currency than bitcoin
BTCUSD,
+3.19%.

There are more concerns beyond crypto demand, however. Nvidia has struggled to supply enough product amid an ongoing shortage of semiconductors that led President Joe Biden to sign an executive order earlier in the day, directing a review across federal agencies to address the vulnerabilities in the supply chains.

The shortages, combined with a memory of the crypto overhang that marred the financial results of both Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
AMD,
+2.60%
two years ago, had investors a bit concerned, and Nvidia’s shares fell more than 2% in after-hours trading.

Executives stressed that they are doing all they can to supply customers while avoiding the oversupply glut at the heart of 2019’s issues. When asked about the company’s surging data-center business, which saw revenue soar 97% in the quarter, Kress said that Nvidia’s data-center customers should be in touch with the company about their needs and planning, and there should not be an issue getting…
