Nvidia Reports Impressive Fiscal Year 2024 Results

Nvidia, the leading player in the AI chip market, has announced its fiscal year 2024 results, showcasing a remarkable performance across various key metrics. The company’s total revenue surged to an outstanding $44.54 billion, representing a substantial 71% increase compared to the previous fiscal year’s $26.97 billion. Furthermore, adjusted earnings per share also experienced significant growth, with a jump from $3.34 to $8.27.

Impressively, Nvidia’s data-center sales skyrocketed to $32.41 billion, a staggering 116% increase when compared to the previous fiscal year’s sales of $15.01 billion. Additionally, the company witnessed a notable uptick in gaming sales, reaching $10.02 billion, marking a solid 10.5% increase from the previous year’s $9.07 billion.

The high demand for Nvidia’s AI equipment has led to supply constraints, which will be further explored in the report expected on Wednesday. Analysts are predicting a recovery in demand for non-AI chips in the coming year, indicating a balanced trend in the industry.

Nvidia’s phenomenal performance is reflected in its stock, which has experienced an impressive year-to-date increase of over 210%. In comparison, the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) gained 39%, the S&P 500 (SPX) rose by 14%, and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) surged by 29% during the same period. Despite a slight dip of 3.8% from its all-time high on July 18, Nvidia remains a strong contender in the market.

While Nvidia dominates the AI chip market, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) holds a distant second position. AMD recently reported a decline in data-center numbers; however, it’s worth noting that their results did not include comparable AI chip sales.

The remarkable achievements of Nvidia’s fiscal year 2024 results demonstrate their industry leadership and continued success in the AI chip market.
