Recent Earnings Release
Last month, Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $57.0 billion, up 62% year over year, beating Street consensus of $54.88 billion. The company reported earnings per share of $1.30, beating a Street estimate of $1.25.
Nvidia is guiding fourth-quarter revenue to be in the range of $63.70 billion to $66.30 billion. The analyst estimate is currently $61.48 billion.
Also, Nvidia said demand for its newest AI chips continues to accelerate, potentially driving total revenue for its Blackwell and Rubin platforms past the previously announced $500 billion target through 2026.
Analyst View
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives described the quarter as a "Massive beat and raise," noting that Nvidia lifted its January revenue outlook by $3 billion. He said the company’s commentary made it clear the AI boom is still in its "early innings," calling the report a “Major validation moment from the Godfather of AI, Jensen and Nvidia."
According to Ross Gerber of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, if Nvidia's earnings touch $6.50 per share in fiscal year 2027, which marks a 42% increase from its forecasted $4.57 per share this fiscal year, the stock could hit $292 per share at 45 times earnings.
Additionally, economist Mohamed El-Erian noted that the company's quarterly earnings release "has arguably evolved from a corporate update to a full-blown ‘macro event,’" which he said illustrates the rapid growth of AI's systemic importance for markets, companies, and the economy.
