Nvidia has reported impressive quarterly earnings that have surpassed the expectations of financial analysts. The tech company’s semiconductors have experienced a surge in demand, primarily due to their application in artificial intelligence technologies.
For the recent quarter, Nvidia revealed that its revenue nearly doubled compared to the same time last year. Additionally, the organization foresees continued growth in revenue for the current quarter, which concludes in January. Stakeholders will be eager to see if the appetite for Nvidia’s forthcoming AI chip, known as Blackwell, will sustain its explosive growth.
The company’s aim to solidify itself as a leading entity in the AI sector has led to striking financial indicators. Here are some noteworthy figures:
$3.579 trillion
As of the latest market close, Nvidia’s total market capitalization has reached this unprecedented value, making it the highest in the S&P 500. Earlier this week, Nvidia reclaimed its position ahead of Apple, which holds a market value of $3.461 trillion. Microsoft also surpasses the $3 trillion mark, sitting at $3.089 trillion. A year prior, Nvidia’s market capitalization hovered around $1.243 trillion.
195%
This percentage reflects the increase in Nvidia’s stock price throughout the year as of the market close. An investment of $100,000 in Nvidia made two years ago would be valued at over $950,000 today. Following the release of its earnings, shares experienced a slight decline of approximately 1% in after-hours trading.
25%
This statistic represents the portion of the S&P 500’s yearly gain that can be attributed solely to Nvidia, as of the end of October. In a significant move, Nvidia replaced Intel in the Dow Jones Industrial Average earlier this month.
$30.8 billion
Nvidia’s revenue generated from its data center division for the quarter ending October 31 has risen by 112% from the previous year. Overall, the company’s revenue increased by 94% year-over-year to reach $35.1 billion. In contrast, the collective revenue growth for all S&P 500 companies is projected to be around 5.5% for the latest quarter, according to research from FactSet.
$37.5 billion
This figure represents Nvidia’s forecast for its total revenue for the fourth quarter, with an allowance for a 2% margin of error. This projection suggests a range between $36.8 billion and $38.3 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s anticipated figure of $37.1 billion. In the corresponding fourth quarter of the previous year, Nvidia generated $22.1 billion in revenue.
$126.5 billion
Analysts predict that Nvidia’s revenue for the fiscal year concluding in January 2025 will reach this amount, more than doubling its revenue for fiscal 2024 and quadrupling what it received the previous year.
54.6 billion
This number illustrates how many Thanksgiving meals one could acquire based on Nvidia’s $3.579 trillion market value, considering the estimated cost of a 15-item meal is $65.51 according to the retail intelligence firm Datasembly.
