NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today reported revenue for the third quarter ended October 30, 2016, of $2.00 billion, up 54 percent from $1.30 billion a year earlier, and up 40 percent from $1.43 billion in the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.83, up 89 percent from $0.44 a year ago and up 102 percent from $0.41 in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.94, up 104 percent from $0.46 a year earlier and up 77 percent from $0.53 in the previous quarter.

"We had a breakout quarter - record revenue, record margins and record earnings were driven by strength across all product lines," said Jen-Hsun Huang, founder and chief executive officer, NVIDIA. "Our new Pascal GPUs are fully ramped and enjoying great success in gaming, VR, self-driving cars and datacenter AI computing. "We have invested years of work and billions of dollars to advance deep learning. Our GPU deep learning platform runs every AI framework, and is available in cloud services from Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and Alibaba, and in servers from every OEM. GPU deep learning has sparked a wave of innovations that will usher in the next era of computing," he said.



Capital Return
During the first nine months of fiscal 2017, NVIDIA paid $509 million in share repurchases and $185 million in cash dividends. As a result, the company has returned an aggregate of $694 million to shareholders in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The company intends to return $1.0 billion to shareholders in fiscal 2017.

For fiscal 2018, NVIDIA intends to return $1.25 billion to shareholders through ongoing quarterly cash dividends and share repurchases. The company's board of directors has authorized an additional $2.00 billion under the company's stock repurchase program for a total of $2.96 billion available through the end of December 2020. The company announced a 22 percent increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.14 per share from $0.115 per share, to be paid with its next quarterly cash dividend on December 19, 2016, to all shareholders of record on November 28, 2016.

NVIDIA's outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $2.10 billion, plus or minus two percent.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 59.0 percent and 59.2 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $572 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $500 million.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 are both expected to be 20 percent, plus or minus one percent.

:D or may be, just may be they have a very good pricing calculations. You'd be surprised how many business base their prices on "common sense", "what seems right" and other non-objective factors.

Overpriced compared to what? I have yet to hear of anyone forced to buy a card from Nvidia at gunpoint.

NVIDIA gained more revenue in the gaming segment this quarter than all of AMD’s Computing and Graphics segment earned in their last quarter.

Given the options available, there isn't much choice but to pay up the ransom demand.

Maybe, just maybe, they have to earn money, sure they invested couple of pesos in development. Buying gaming graphic cards is as buying milk and bread, yes?

Wth are you talking about? From RX460 to the GTX 1060, you pay a bit more for each increase in performance. It's the same price/performance ratio whether you buy AMD or Nvidia.
Sure, if AMD didn't screw up and came with something that would scale beyond the RX480, we would see some competition at the high end and prices would be a bit lower (you're not expecting 1080 for $400, are you?), but "ransom"? Seriously?

Overpriced compared to they way prices were at launch for the GTX 900 series, and I haven't said anything about being forced to buy an Nvidia card I've just expressed what I think, is there anything wrong with that?

Also I agree that this is part AMD's fault for not providing a product to compete with the 1080...

I too think the midrange Pascals and certainly the high end Titan X are too high but that's just my opinion and obviously a lot of people don't agree with me as you can see from Nvidia's Q3 financial results. Nvidia's goals are to make money, invest in R&D, expand the business and return a profit to the shareholders and that's what they have done. Successful company is successful yet again. :)

Nothing wrong with that, but you seem to think manufacturers have some obligation to give us more performance and move to more advanced production facilities, while retaining the same price forever. They don't, their only obligation is to make money for their shareholders. Thus, when the competition falters, they'll be quick to cream the market. That's how the game is played and not only in the video card industry ;)

I understand your point but I think that Nvidia did not bring a totally new revolutionizing product with lots of new features to justify the price for the 10 series...that's what I think. If they would've implemented the HBM memory I would see the justification.

But that's the "beauty" of it, in the absence of competition, no justification is needed :D
I do tend to cut them some slack because I don't buy high-end anyway and the mid-range has been well served this round, but at the same time I see why others may be upset.

Going to trot out my favorite thing to state when people complain about new pricing vs. old.

In 2014, the MSRP of the GTX980 at launch was $549. Adjusted for today, that's just a shade under $560 ($559.88 to be exact).

Launch MSRP of the GTX1080 was $599.

Increase of ~$40. Not exactly earth shattering.



I am not going to go into how "NO GTX 1080 WAS EVER AVAILABLE FOR $599 AT LAUNCH!!!!". Truth is you never really can find any card for MSRP at launch as everyone is scrambling for the cards at launch. Currently you can get an MSI Armor 1080 for $599 or less (has an aftermarket dual-fan cooler)

It is sad to see that Nvidia and Intel can do whatever they want with the prices and they don't need to innovate their products in order to get good profits. They are just improving whatever technologies that they have at the moment and that does the job. Capitalism is amazing to get some companies filthy rih because people are so easily fooled :)

I remember that I've paid for my MSI GTX 970 280£ first day it launched and as a comparison the MSI GTX 1070 was 440£ at launch I think...do you see my point mate? :p

You're going to get screwed on pricing anyway as you live in the U.K. Plus import fees vary wildly and nVidia doesn't really have any control over that at all.

In my opinion they do, because part of that is coming to them so... I also think that the low stock thing was also a marketing trick to be able to keep the price tag high :D

It is sad to see that Nvidia and Intel can do whatever they want with the prices and they don't need to innovate their products in order to get good profits.
They are just improving whatever technologies that they have at the moment and that does the job.

Capitalism is amazing to get some companies filthy rih because people are so easily fooled :)

This happend when companies provides competition literally dont show improvements and this provoke see this situations

And when appears amd vega, nvidia dont stay worried because amd gift around 10 months without competition (if vega appears in march as amd said)

For this moment nvidia now sell when them wait sell with big earnings, thanks to pascal inflated prices for lack of competition

This is where you're wrong. They most certainly cannot do whatever they want with prices. All they can do is sell for as much as people are willing to pay.
