Foxconn's earnings release comes just a week after Microsoft announced that it expects to spend $80 billion on AI data center infrastructure in its FY 2025. This was huge news for investors, as it confirms that Silicon Valley's AI arms race is not winding down any time soon.

Investors were not impressed by Nvidia's quarterly performance and outlook even though it handily beat Wall Street's expectations thanks to the booming demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) chips.

Nvidia (NVDA) has solidified its position as a leader in the technology industry, especially within the semiconductor space. No other semiconductor company has experienced growth as explosive as Nvidia’s.

Nvidia ( NVDA 0.21%) is one of the most widely followed stocks today, and it's easy to see why. Its lead in the artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator market supercharged its revenue growth and made it the largest semiconductor stock, as measured by market cap, next to Apple.
