Nvidia's second-quarter performance saw net profit surge by 168% to $16.6 billion, bolstered by unprecedented sales driven by its leading role in AI chip production. Revenue hit a record $30.04 billion, a 122% increase year-on-year, surpassing analysts' projections. The data center segment, a key driver, reported a staggering 154% revenue increase to $26.3 billion. Despite these robust results, Nvidia’s third-quarter forecast fell short of high market expectations. The company anticipates a gross margin of around 75%, slightly below analysts' average forecast of 75.5%, and projects revenue of $32.5 billion, close to expectations. This tempered outlook has led to a 6% drop in Nvidia's stock, reflecting investor disappointment despite strong past performance and ongoing share buybacks. Originally designed for graphics cards, Nvidia’s technology has become crucial for AI development, underpinning its expansion into gaming and automotive sectors.
