Nvidia briefly surpasses $2 trillion in market capitalization during intraday trading Friday, driven by overwhelming enthusiasm over its latest earnings report. Although the stock pulls back slightly to close the day up less than 1% at $788.17 per share, the momentary milestone highlights the incredible momentum the chipmaker gains after a 16% surge the previous day.
The company posts $22.10 billion in revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter, marking a 265% increase from the previous year and easily beating analyst expectations. Net income soars by a staggering 769% to reach $12.29 billion, fueled by the tech sector's insatiable demand for the pricey graphics processors required to power large AI models.
Looking ahead, Nvidia projects $24.0 billion in sales for the current quarter, once again exceeding Wall Street forecasts. CEO Jensen Huang states that the conditions remain excellent for continued growth, reinforcing the company's dominant position at the center of the global artificial intelligence boom.
