The chip maker booked $ 46.7 billion in Q2 sales, above estimates of $ 46.05 billion, with a net income rise 59% to $ 26.4 billion, or $ 1.05 per share, topping consensus of $ 1.01. NVIDIA has also projected the turnover of the third quarter of around $ 54 billion, plus 2%, before the prediction of $ 53.1 billion of analysts.
Nevertheless, the share reaction Market Onrust underlined. Futures coupled with the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.6% because the guidelines and data center performance of Nvidia doubt doubts about whether the AI tree has added $ 2 trillion to its market value since April $ 2 trillion.
The growth of data centers is missing goals
The growth of Nvidia remains anchored in its data center activities, built around his graphic processors and the systems that they connect to scale. The division generated $ 41.1 billion in turnover, an increase of 56% compared to a year earlier, but simply shy of the expected $ 41.3 billion analysts.
Although the profit was considerable, the Miss emphasized that even Nvidia’s most important AI-Driving segment could reach the limits of demand in the short term. For a share that has risen on expectations of uninterrupted expansion of data center, the shortage was sufficient to rattle and weigh investors in long -term trade.
Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore noted earlier this week that the income from Datacenter will remain the most important engine of the Nvidia company in the coming year, Forbes reported.
China increases the prospects
The forecast of the AI Giant has also excluded the turnover to China, where the export restrictions of the US and the urge of Beijing for home -grown chips have left Nvidia in the dark. The company has yet to send its H20 processors to Chinese buyers, after booking a Writedown of $ 4.5 billion tied to the product.
Financial Chief Colette Kress said analysts that the company could send $ 2 billion to $ 5 billion in H20 chips this quarter if the geopolitical environment allows it. In the meantime, Nvidia has released $ 180 million H20 inventory to a non-China customer during the Q2.
The uncertainty contrasted sharply with a rally in the shares of Chinese rivals on Thursday. Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp rose no less than 9.3%, while Cambrricon technologies climbed 8.2%and the Star 50 index of growths with 5%lifted.
Great growth, slower pace
Despite the placement of his ninth consecutive quarter of revenue growth above 50%, the profit of 56% of Nvidia was the slowest during that run on an annual basis. That delay, in addition to a second Miss in the expectations of Datacenter, was sufficient to shake confidence in a share that has already risen 35% this year after almost tripled in 2024.
The Gaming division of NVIDIA added $ 4.3 billion turnover, an increase of 49% compared to a year earlier, while the turnover of robotics grew by 69% to $ 586 million. The company’s board approved another $ 60 billion in stock buying, after the purchase of $ 9.7 billion in the last quarter.
Nevertheless, investors ask if Nvidia can continue to satisfy the towering expectations of the market. As Kress reminded analysts, the company still sees $ 3 trillion up to $ 4 trillion in global AI infrastructure expenditure towards the end of the decade. For now, however, record -breaking songs were not enough to prevent a sale.
