Nvidia's Q3 revenue forecast was not good enough for Wall Street's raging bulls. Analysts quizzed CEO Jensen Huang on where the payback is going to come from huge AI spending.
Nvidia (NVDA) again smashed Wall Street expectations and provided a rosy outlook. Meanwhile, the delay in the company's highly-anticipated Blackwell chip seems to be a minor hiccup.
Nvidia, undoubtedly the most highly-awaited company for the Q2 earnings season, has finally delivered its results. Here's a quick summary.
Nvidia delivered triple-digit growth, beating estimates on both the top and bottom lines, thanks to continuing strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI). The company's outlook was also higher than expected, but given the stock's epic run, it may not be enough.
I reiterate a “Strong Buy” rating for Nvidia Corporation with a one-year target price of $160 per share due to robust growth in data center and networking. Nvidia's data center revenue grew 154% YoY, driven by strong demand for H200, Blackwell, InfiniBand, and Ethernet for AI workloads. Nvidia's gaming segment shows stable growth with a 16.7% YoY increase, supported by high-performance RTX 40 Series GPUs and GeForce NOW platform.
Nvidia Corporation's Q2 FY2025 report showed a double-beat with $30.04B in revenue and $0.68 EPS, but the narrower beat failed to prevent a post-earnings stock dip amid worrisome gross margin contraction. Despite strong growth in Data Center and other segments, Nvidia's medium-to-long-term demand and margins remain questionable due to industry cyclicality and competition. Nvidia's valuation remains high, and the stock is overvalued at $118 per share, with a 5-year expected CAGR of ~7%, below my investment hurdle rate.
Nvidia reported better-than-expected results on Wednesday and issued optimistic revenue guidance, but the gross margin showed slight slippage. The stock, up almost nine-fold since the end of 2022, slid in extended trading.
The most important stock on the planet, NVIDIA (NVDA), just reported Q2 earnings after the closing bell today.
Although the revenue and EPS for Nvidia (NVDA) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended July 2024, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
After Nvidia shares tumbled, CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday reminded investors that it's important to own stocks in a variety of sectors, even ones that may not presently see huge gains. Owning a diverse group of stocks helps investors stay in the market when one stock or sector takes a turn, he said.
Nvidia (NVDA) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.68 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.64 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.27 per share a year ago.
