Nvidia reported record quarterly earnings on Wednesday, with revenue surging 262% year-over-year to $26 billion. The company's shares fell 3% in after-hours trading as investors questioned whether it can sustain its growth pace amid rising competition.
Record Revenue
Nvidia reported revenue of $26 billion for the fiscal first quarter, beating analyst estimates of $24.5 billion. Net income more than quintupled to $14.9 billion. The data center segment, which accounts for over 80% of sales, grew 427% year-over-year to $22.6 billion.
Investor Skepticism
Despite the strong results, Nvidia shares fell 3% in after-hours trading to $875. Analysts at Goldman Sachs cited concerns about slowing growth as competitors like AMD and Intel ramp up AI chip production. The company's guidance for the current quarter of $28 billion in revenue was in line with expectations but failed to spark enthusiasm.
Revenue Forecast for Q3
Nvidia forecasted fiscal third-quarter revenue of approximately $54 billion, covering the period through October. The guidance indicates a deceleration in growth following a two-year surge in AI spending.
What's Next
Nvidia's next earnings report is due in August, where it will face comparisons against even tougher year-over-year numbers. It remains unclear whether the company can maintain its dominant market share as competition intensifies and customers develop in-house alternatives.
