Nvidia's AI Chip Glory Gets Dimmed By US Export Curbs
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) exceeded Q3 expectations with revenue of $18.12 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.02, driven by strong demand for GPUs amid AI hype. However, shares fell due to concerns over US export curbs impacting Q4 revenue. Nvidia's data center revenue, which includes sales to Amazon (AMZN), rose 279%. Nvidia faces competition from AMD, which is catching up in AI chip innovation. Generative AI demand is high, benefiting Nvidia, but US restrictions and competition may pose challenges.
