Nvidia shares rose 6% in premarket trading after blockbuster earnings strengthened confidence in artificial intelligence.
Nvidia reported second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion for the period ended July 26, up 18% from the previous quarter and 106% year on year. The US technology company expects about $108 billion in revenue next quarter, while CEO Jensen Huang pointed to the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
Asian-Pacific stocks rose at Thursday’s open for a third straight session after Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings. The result lifted technology hardware makers and renewed investor confidence, despite overnight data showing the Federal Reserve’s preferred US inflation gauge remains elevated.
Nvidia reported better-than-expected results and said it expects revenue to grow another 70% in fiscal 2028.
Nvidia shares initially fell after the company released its quarterly results on Wednesday, then surged, giving investors a roller-coaster ride. The move underscored Wall Street’s lofty expectations for its favored AI chip designer.
Nvidia expects to generate $108 billion in revenue within a few months, following a record $96.2 billion quarter. Data center revenue more than doubled year over year to $89 billion, while profits reached $59.7 billion. Consumer business growth was tempered by slower PC sales, higher prices, and component shortages.
Nvidia’s sales outlook beat expectations but failed to satisfy all investors, deepening worries about whether artificial-intelligence spending can maintain its momentum.
Nvidia projected quarterly revenue above Wall Street expectations on Wednesday, but the forecast did little to calm investor concerns about the company’s long-term dominance of the AI chip market.

Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on roughly $20 billion in US goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment. The sharp escalation threatens one of the world’s largest trading relationships and further strains ties between the longtime allies, while a prolonged dispute could increase costs for US businesses and consumers.
The breakdown of US-Canada trade talks has brought a wider tariff conflict, with Canada planning 25% to 50% duties on nearly 900 US goods from 8 September, including toilet-paper and tissue stock. Because US paper products rely heavily on Canadian raw materials, the measures could raise consumer prices. The dispute also covers liquor, dairy, seafood, cars and auto parts.
