Nvidia stock soars to record high as earnings, forecasts crush expectations.After the chipmaker beat expectations for its fiscal second quarter and provided upbeat guidance for the current quarter, Nvidia shares increased 6% in after-hours trade on Wednesday.

The company performed as follows during the quarter that ended on July 30:

Overview: Nvidia stock

Refinitiv had predicted $12.61 billion in revenue for the third quarter of the current fiscal year; Nvidia predicts roughly $16 billion. According to Nvidia’s forecast, sales will increase 170% from the same quarter last year. From $656 million, or 26 cents per share, a year earlier, net income increased to $6.19 billion, or $2.48 per share.

Strong sales and a positive outlook for Nvidia highlight how essential the company’s graphics processing units (GPUs) have become to the rise of generative AI. Building and running artificial intelligence (AI) applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other services that accept simple text inquiries and respond with conversational answers or visuals require Nvidia’s A100 and H100 AI chips.

The second quarter’s revenue doubled from $6.7 billion a year earlier and rose 88% over the first.

On a conference call with analysts, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that “the world has something along the lines of about a trillion dollars worth of data centers installed, in the cloud, enterprise, and otherwise.” Data centers worth a trillion dollars are in the midst of switching to accelerated computing and generative AI.
