Nvidia has once again demonstrated its dominance in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. The tech giant's recent earnings call, held on Wednesday, August 28, revealed a second-quarter revenue of $30 billion, surpassing initial estimates by a remarkable $2 billion. This impressive performance has sent ripples of optimism throughout the AI industry, potentially setting the stage for a bullish market response as trading resumes on Thursday, August 29.
The earnings call is eagerly anticipated by investors and analysts alike, as it has significant impact for the AI industry and wider tech sector. CFO Colette Kress announced that the company's revenue figures exceeded projections by approximately 7%, continuing Nvidia's streak of record-breaking quarters.
Adding to the excitement, Nvidia projected even higher revenues for the upcoming third quarter, estimating between $32.4 billion. This optimistic forecast further bolstered investor confidence, with the next earnings call scheduled for November 20.
Kress attributed the company's remarkable growth to several factors, including robust GPU sales, mounting anticipation for the forthcoming Blackwell chips, and strong performance in data services both domestically and internationally. Notably, Kress highlighted significant gains in the Chinese market as a key contributor to the company's success.
The CFO also provided insights into the highly anticipated "Blackwell" platform, assuring stakeholders that the new hardware and software suite is on track for release amid strong demand. Production is slated to commence in the fourth quarter and continue into 2026, with revenues expected to climb. Kress emphasized that demand currently outstrips supply, a trend projected to persist into the following year.
Despite the earnings beat, NVDA is down 2.1% on Wednesday’s trading session. Following the earnings release, the stock fell 6.89% in after hours trading, and is currently valued at $116.95. Crypto AI tokens have followed suit, with NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) and Bittensor (TAO) trading down 3.54%, 5.55% and 3% respectively.
