NVIDIA ($NVDA (+1,51%) ) EARNINGS:
The chip maker beat expectations for sales and profit in its latest quarterly earnings report, released after the closing bell. But its shares sold off in after-hours trading, a sign that it didn't live up to the lofty expectations of investors who have piled into Nvidia stock this year on a wave of AI hype.
- Revenue came in at $35.1 billion, up from $18.12 billion in the year-ago quarter.
- Analysts were expecting $33.17 billion in sales, according to FactSet.
- Net income was $19.31 billion, compared with $9.24 billion a year ago. Analysts were expecting $17.45 billion.
