Company's Earnings Forecast and Revenue Growth

Net income rose to $59.7 billion from $26.4 billion last year, and the company projected $108 billion in revenue for the current quarter – again beating analyst expectations of around $104.2 billion.

The company’s billionaire CEO, Jensen Huang, suggested that the 70% projection was conservative and largely due to supply chain constraints.

“Even though our demand is much greater than 70%, our supply allows us to confidently deliver 70%,” he said. “We are going to continue to work with our supply chain to increase on that.”

Other top chip companies also saw a boost, with Intel’s stock rising 3.55% to $91.27, Broadcom climbing 1.8% to $362.12, while AMD’s shares rose 1.6% to $488.72 in the premarket.

Nvidia’s stock price soared in premarket trading early on Thursday, reversing a more than week-long slump, and triggered an upswing in other chip stocks after the company's forecast of a 70% ​jump in revenue next fiscal year appeared to tamp down on market anxiety about a potential slowdown in demand for AI compute.

In premarket trading early on Thursday, Nvidia’s stock price rose to $224.83 per share, up more than 7.2% from Wednesday’s close.

The post-earnings boost wiped out a slump that began last week amid anxiety over its earnings and criticism of its apparent “circular financing” deal with top AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Optimism about continued AI-fueled growth boosted other top chip companies as well, with Intel’s stock rising 3.55% to $91.27, Broadcom climbing 1.8% to $362.12, while AMD’s shares rose 1.6% to $488.72 in the premarket.
