Tech and crypto stocks rose in after-hours trading on Wednesday after chip maker Nvidia’s third-quarter earnings beat expectations on the top and bottom line, allaying fears of an AI bubble.
Nvidia <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-third-quarter-fiscal-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">reported</a> record revenue of $57 billion for its third quarter ended Oct. 26, up 62% from a year ago and beating Wall Street <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/2793323/nvidia-nvda-q3-earnings-taking-a-look-at-key-metrics-versus-estimates?art_rec=quote-stock_overview-earnings_news-ID01-txt-2793323" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">projections</a> of $54.7 billion.
The company reported a profit of $31.9 billion, a 65% increase from last year and surpassing analyst expectations. It also gave a higher-than-expected guidance of $65 billion in revenue for its fourth quarter, suggesting the appetite for <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/articles/defi-and-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">artificial intelligence</a> isn’t yet slowing down.
Concerns of an AI bubble had seen <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/cryptocurrency-vs-stocks-key-differences-explained" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tech shares</a> slide over the past weeks, which saw crypto also dump as investors sold off risky assets, and the broader market was awaiting Nvidia’s earnings as a health check on the AI-heavy tech sector.
