Nvidia reported second-quarter revenue of $96.22 billion, significantly exceeding Wall Street's forecasts, as demand for its high-end artificial intelligence chips remained strong. The results signal continued substantial investment in AI infrastructure.
The company announced on Wednesday a net income of $59.69 billion, or $2.46 per share, for the May-July period. This marks a substantial increase from the $26.42 billion, or $1.08 per share, reported in the same quarter last year.
