Nvidia Again Beats Forecasts, Shares Jump in After-Hours Trading
The AI chip giant posts third-quarter revenue of 57 billion dollars, above expectations, and raises its outlook to 65 billion dollars for the next quarter.
Nvidia has once again surpassed market expectations, underlining its position at the centre of the global artificial intelligence hardware boom.
The company reported third-quarter revenue of 57 billion dollars, ahead of analysts’ forecasts of around 55.2 billion dollars.
Net profit also exceeded projections.
Earnings came in at 1.30 dollars per share, compared with an expected 1.25 dollars per share.
The strong performance pushed Nvidia’s share price higher in after-hours trading, as investors reacted to another set of better-than-expected results.
The data-centre division, which supplies chips and systems for AI training and inference, remained the company’s growth engine.
Revenue from data centres reached 51.2 billion dollars in the quarter, outpacing estimates of 49.3 billion dollars.
Demand for Nvidia’s latest Blackwell-based products was described internally as exceptional.
Chief executive Jensen Huang said the company had exceeded expectations across its portfolio, noting that “our sales beat forecasts in every area” and describing Blackwell sales in particular as “outstanding”.
His comments reflect the ongoing rush by cloud providers, enterprises and AI developers to secure high-performance graphics processors, which remain in tight supply in many markets.
Looking ahead, Nvidia raised its guidance for the coming quarter.
The company now expects revenue of 65 billion dollars, above earlier market estimates of roughly 62 billion dollars.
That upgraded forecast reinforces the view that AI-related investment—especially in infrastructure and advanced chips—remains intense despite broader concerns about overheating in the sector.
At the same time, Nvidia’s success raises the bar for its own future performance.
Sustaining such rapid growth will require continued technological leadership and careful navigation of regulatory, geopolitical and competitive pressures in the semiconductor industry.
For now, however, the message to investors and rivals is clear: Nvidia’s momentum in AI hardware is not only intact, it is still accelerating.
