Today, Nvidia (NVDA, Financial) released its quarterly financial report, which led to considerable movement in AI-related stocks. Nvidia's stock price is trading at $120.95, representing a 3.71% decline. This follows the company's announcement of its fiscal 2025 second-quarter results showing impressive growth metrics that surpassed analysts' predictions.
The company reported a revenue of $30 billion, reflecting a 122% year-over-year increase and a 15% sequential rise. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) hit $0.68, which marks a 152% growth year over year and an 11% sequential climb, outperforming analysts' expectations of $28.7 billion in revenue and an EPS of $0.64.
Other AI-related stocks also moved in response to Nvidia's strong performance. Arm Holdings (ARM) saw a 6.7% rise, Microsoft (MSFT) rallied by 2.3%, and Broadcom (AVGO) climbed 2.1%.
Nvidia's forecast for the upcoming third quarter predicts revenue of $32.5 billion, marking an 80% year-over-year increase. However, this reflects a slowdown compared to the stellar triple-digit growth witnessed over the past five quarters. The company also reported a gross margin of 75.1%, down from 78.4% last quarter, primarily due to inventory provisions for its Blackwell processors and product mix.
Despite these minor concerns, Nvidia continues to show strong adoption of AI technology, positively influencing other companies in the AI sector.
