NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) reported strong fiscal Q3 results that exceeded Wall Street estimates but provided Q4 guidance that fell short of heightened investor expectations. Shares dropped approximately 3% in premarket trading following the announcement.
For Q3, NVIDIA posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.81 on revenue of $35.1 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $0.75 EPS on $33.09 billion revenue. A key driver was the data center segment, which generated $30.8 billion, marking a 17% sequential increase and a remarkable 112% year-over-year growth, beating forecasts of $28.84 billion.
Looking to Q4, NVIDIA projects revenue of $37.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, slightly above consensus estimates of $37.09 billion. Gross margins are anticipated at 73.0%, signaling robust profitability despite modest guidance.
Analysts expressed mixed views. Bank of America highlighted near-term investor caution due to subdued excitement but reaffirmed confidence in NVIDIA’s long-term growth potential, emphasizing its leadership in transitioning legacy infrastructure to AI-accelerated systems. Piper Sandler echoed optimism, noting that the company remains well-positioned for significant growth starting in April.
In summary, NVIDIA’s solid fundamentals and leadership in AI position it as a long-term winner, though near-term volatility may persist as investors digest its tempered Q4 outlook.
