Q: Blackwell Weighing On Margins

Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said Nvidia's adjusted gross margin is expected to be 71% in the current quarter. And it will be in the "low 70s" as Nvidia ramps Blackwell production.

"We expect a significant ramp of Blackwell in the first quarter," she said.

Nvidia's gross margins should return to the mid-70s later in the current fiscal year, she said.

In your professional opinion, how likely is this return to mid 70s margins?
Thanks very much
