For the earnings, Srivastava writes, “NVIDIA delivered a very strong set of results. Guidance is well above as well,” and commends the companies increased transparency around the impacted data center. He comments that the large increase in inventory purchases makes BMO believe that the strength will continue into the second half of this year.
Nvidia’s revenue came in at $5.66 billion, up 13% quarter over quarter. This beat BMO’s estimates which only called for a 9% quarter-over-quarter rise and PF EPS came in at $3.66 versus their $3.30 estimate. Gross margins came in line with expectations. Gaming sales came in at 49% of the companies total revenue but generally came in line with BMO’s $2.75 billion estimates. Srivastava adds, “While the company is unable to quantify the gaming demand from crypto, it reported $155M in revenues from the new CMP product line.”
