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.
