Nvidia reported a strong demand for chips and solid results of the first trimester on Wednesday, providing relief for anxiety investors who have come to see the world’s leading chip supplier as a bell for the general technology industry.
The company led by Jensen Huang reported 96 cents per share in sales of $ 44.06 billion for the quarter ending in April. Both numbers came higher than Wall Street expectations, with an income from 69% compared to a year earlier. According to data compiled by LSEG.
However, President Trump’s movement to add fresh export controls on Nvidia deliveries to China weighed its guidance. Nvidia expects revenue of about $ 45 billion in the second fiscal quarter – with a loss of $ 8 billion in the expected sales of H20 chips that would have been sent to China.
However, the shares were dropped 4% in the after -time trading after the best profits than expected, which were released after the closing bell.
Restrictions on the sale of Nvidia’s H20 chips in China, the only processors of one who could legally export to the country, pushed Nvidia to discover in April that he was expecting a fee of $ 5.5 billion – temporarily sending markets to a basket.
On Wednesday, Nvidia said the actual tariff of the first quarter due to H20 restrictions was $ 1 billion less than expected because it was able to reuse some materials.
Huang put a positive rotation on the results and described the request for the infrastructure of that of Nvidia as “too strong”.
“The global demand for Nvidia’s infrastructure is too strong,” Huang said in a statement. “The generation of the sign of the conclusion of it has increased tenfold in just one year, and while agents and it becomes the main flow, the demand for computing will accelerate.”
“Countries around the world are recognizing as an essential infrastructure – just like electricity and the Internet – and Nvidia stands at the center of this deep transformation,” Huang added.
Nvidia said it received a $ 4.5 billion fee at the H20 excess inventory in the first quarter. The company said it would have sold $ 2.5 billion in extra chips if not for restrictions.
The Nvidia Data Center business was a bright place for the quarter, with revenues that dumped 73% to $ 39.1 billion.
Nvidia is at the forefront of the current boom of him, with Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Openai and Elon Musk’s Xai between firms that rely on chips to empower the increasingly complex language patterns that support their tools.
Only Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Google are expected to spend a $ 345 billion combined this year, as they pour resources in the race, according to Alpha estimates.
