NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the third quarter ended October 29, 2023, of $18.12 billion, up 206% from a year ago and up 34% from the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $3.71, up more than 12x from a year ago and up 50% from the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $4.02, up nearly 6x from a year ago and up 49% from the previous quarter.

"Our strong growth reflects the broad industry platform transition from general-purpose to accelerated computing and generative AI," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Large language model startups, consumer internet companies and global cloud service providers were the first movers, and the next waves are starting to build. Nations and regional CSPs are investing in AI clouds to serve local demand, enterprise software companies are adding AI copilots and assistants to their platforms, and enterprises are creating custom AI to automate the world's largest industries.



"NVIDIA GPUs, CPUs, networking, AI foundry services and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software are all growth engines in full throttle. The era of generative AI is taking off," he said.

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on December 28, 2023, to all shareholders of record on December 6, 2023.

Outlook
NVIDIA's outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $20.00 billion, plus or minus 2%.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.5% and 75.5%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $3.17 billion and $2.20 billion, respectively.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are expected to be an income of approximately $200 million, excluding gains and losses from non-affiliated investments.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are expected to be 15.0%, plus or minus 1%, excluding any discrete items.
Highlights
NVIDIA achieved progress since its previous earnings announcement in these areas:

Or schenanigans like with cryptomining creative accounting. Investors might be worried if all of the growth shows up just in one sector - Data center fuelled by AI hardware sales, so you channel some of that through other sectors, showing healthy, diversified growth not threatened by a potential shift in market to other hardware providers. Court said that it's OK to do that.

Or the home generative AI took off, as Nvidia predicted?

Or China started to build AI servers from commercial RTX gaming graphics cards?

The last thing I would expect is a sudden interest from gamers, right before release of generational refresh (Super cards). Also, the market conditions certainly haven't imoroved, here in EU it's definetly goomy forecast of worsening recession.

Possibility the sanctions on the 4090 helped. I saw quite a few articles about them being snapped up in huge volume before they were banned from sale in China. It would help explain why the last quarter saw a rise?

Yeah last month i saw all 4090 stocks in my country and also in Japan disappeared, probably being sold in China for 3x the price.

In other words, AI/datacenter accounts for 80% of Nvidia's revenue these days. Now, let's talk about the benefits of AI in gaming. ;)

They're still available here in EU en masse, but they have gone up in price, some more than 200 EUR.

Gaming sector is up 15% from the previous quarter and up 81% from a year ago.

Doesn't matter how.

So people that don't want to spend that money aren't really relevant.

Not all of it is going to gaming though, just like the last few years when Crypto spiked, & that China ban(?) is possibly another tipping point.

Once they have to cut China's allocation their sales will drop hard, unless of course they continue smuggling it through back channels!

The NVIDIA haters are out in force as usual. Why is it so difficult for y'all to accept that a wildly successful and profitable company is wildly successful and profitable because it has product that the market wants to buy? Why do you have to invent ludicrous allegations of illegal behaviour?

Wow, now Intel will play catch up.
Its not possible for Intel to catch up because they are not even competing in the same league as Nvidia. Only AMD has a chance to make a play now for the data center and that looks iffy at best.

I’m surprised more here don’t recognize the implications of Nvidia making $18 billion!!! $20 billion next quarter!!! The most Intel ever made was just over $20 billion in a quarter and that was only because of the pandemic.

Wow, 2.85 bil in gaming revenue, 15% increase from last quarter sure sound like lots of people are buying RTX
Lol wut? I wouldn’t be surprised if Nvidia cancels it’s gaming division and concentrates solely on data center. Gaming for Nvidia is a distraction that continues solely because it started the company on its path. Data center is where it all ends.

Quite nonsense, shouldn't AMD close down RTG too when it barely generate any income vs CPU/Data Center?
Ever heard of a diversified portfolio in business?

Gaming and professional graphics will move into data center as internet connection latency and bandwidth improves. Fabbing and assembling discrete graphics cards will become a waste of resources when all computing can become distributed and client devices become dumb terminals.

In that vast sea of big data, gaming will be one of many services offered albeit a very minor one in comparison.

Monitors will become VR/AR glasses. Input devices will just be your hands. A simple handheld device in your pocket will make the connection.

You can read the writing on the wall as easily as I can.

Stadia was dead within a year, we are probably looking at different walls

So was Google glass. It doesn’t change the future.

Btw, over 75% of your revenue and growing in data center doesn’t make you diversified or even show you plan to diversify. It's the same way that Apple is just a phone and fart app company and nothing more.

Well this should click in some heads, but it will not do so.........the procurement departments will still buy what the little letter told them to do so on the last paid vacation.

This is alarming, and no one on the buyer side is concerned that they are trapped in with no choice to land in a self-fulfilling prophecy.
