Nvidia Stock Soars as AI Chip Leader Beats Quarterly Goals and Raises Outlook

 Nvidia (NVDA), the forefront leader in artificial intelligence technology, exceeded Wall Street's expectations for its fiscal first quarter and provided optimistic guidance for the current period. Additionally, it revealed a 10-for-1 stock split, causing Nvidia's stock to surge in after-hours trading.

Rewritten:


Nvidia, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, reported adjusted earnings of $6.12 per share on revenue of $26 billion for the quarter ending April 28th. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had anticipated earnings of $5.60 per share on revenue of $24.59 billion. Compared to the previous year, Nvidia's earnings surged by 461%, while sales skyrocketed by 262%.


These results mark Nvidia's fourth consecutive quarter of triple-digit growth in both sales and earnings.


For the current quarter, Nvidia anticipates generating $28 billion in sales, surpassing the consensus estimate of $26.62 billion. In the same quarter last year, Nvidia recorded sales of $13.51 billion.


Following the report, Nvidia's stock surged by 5.9% in after-hours trading to $1,005.89, potentially reaching a record high. During Wednesday's regular session, the stock closed at $949.50, a slight 0.5% dip but still within the buying range.


CEO Jensen Huang remarked in a news release, "The next industrial revolution has begun — companies and countries are partnering with Nvidia to shift trillion-dollar traditional data centers to accelerated computing and build a new type of data center — AI factories — to produce a new commodity: artificial intelligence."
