Nvidia Corp. executives predicted record revenue well beyond anything the company has experienced Wednesday, pushing shares toward all-time highs, as margins improve with AI-driven data-center sales.<\/p>\n

Nvidia
\n NVDA,
\n -0.49%<\/bg-quote>
\n guided for second-quarter revenue of $11 billion, plus or minus 2%; the chip maker has never before reported quarterly revenue higher than $8.29 billion, which it hit in the fiscal first quarter a year ago. Analysts on average were expecting $7.17 billion, according to FactSet, a gain from the $6.7 billion in sales Nvidia put up in the fiscal second quarter last year.<\/p>\n

\n

On the conference call with analysts, Huang said the simple way to think about it is that the world has \u201ca trillion dollars of data center installed and it used to be 100% CPU,\u201d or central processing units, as opposed to Nvidia\u2019s graphics processors that data centers and AI models have embraced in recent years. And while the world\u2019s data-center budget is strapped, at the same time larger and larger AI models require more and more computing power, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe easiest way to think about that is over the next four or five, 10 years, most of that trillion dollars, and compensating adjusting for all the growth in data center still, it will be largely generative AI,\u201d Huang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened is, when generative AI came along, it triggered a killer app for this computing platform that\u2019s been in preparation for some time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The company forecast adjusted gross margins of 70% for the second quarter, after reporting 66.8% for the first quarter, not only as higher data-center margins counter the deficit in gaming, but as Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said on the call: \u201d We believe the channel inventory correction is behind us.\u201d <\/p>\n

Shares soared more than 25% in after-hours trading, following a 0.5% decline in the regular session to $305.38. Nvidia\u2019s record closing price is $333.76 and the all-time intraday high is $346.47, according to FactSet data. After-hours \u201cprices\u201d topped both of those marks, reaching more than 14% beyond all-time highs for the regular session, as shares registered as high as $395, according to FactSet. The last time Nvidia shares rallied as much in a single session was Nov. 11, 2016, when shares surged 29.8% after the company reported that profit more than doubled. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, shares of rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

\n +0.14%<\/bg-quote>
\n rallied 6% after hours.<\/p>\n

Nvidia did not provide full-year guidance, but Chief Executive Jensen Huang has been effusive in his predictions that increased focus on AI from Big Tech partners such as Microsoft Corp.
\n MSFT,
\n -0.45%<\/bg-quote>
\n and Alphabet Inc.

\n will lead to revenue gains in the near future. Speaking to the media at Nvidia\u2019s developers conference in March, he said that generative AI has only accounted for a \u201ctiny, tiny, tiny\u201d single-digit percentage of revenue over the past 12 months, but predicted that in the next year, revenue from generative AI will grow to be \u201cquite large \u2014 exactly how large, it\u2019s hard to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nvidia reported fiscal first-quarter earnings of $2.04 billion, or 82 cents a share, on sales of $7.19 billion, a decline from $8.29 billion a year ago but well ahead of expectations. After adjusting for stock compensation and other effects, the chip maker reported earnings of $1.09 a share, a decline from $1.36 a share a year ago. Analysts on average were expecting adjusted earnings of 92 cents a share on sales of $6.53 billion, according to FactSet. <\/p>\n

Gaming sales for the first quarter fell 38% to $2.24 billion, while data-center sales at Nvidia rose 14% to a record $4.28 billion, \u201cled by growing demand for generative AI and large language models using GPUs based on our Nvidia Hopper and Ampere architectures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revenue growth reflects strong demand from large consumer internet companies and cloud service providers,\u201d the company said in a statement. \u201cEnterprise demand for GPU platforms was strong, although general purpose networking solutions declined both sequentially and from a year ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Analysts had expected gaming sales of $1.97 billion \u2014 nearly half of last year\u2019s $3.62 billion \u2014 and data-center sales of $3.9 billion, a 4% increase from a year ago. Auto chip sales soared 114% to $296 million from a year ago. <\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s profit and sales have declined in recent quarters as the company deals with oversupply in the market, a result of pandemic-era shortages flipping to a glut after demand for personal computers and gaming gear waned. Analysts expect that trend to end with this report, however, as demand for gear that can power artificial intelligence kicks into higher gear amid a bevy of promises from tech companies about the power of generative AI.<\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s stock has soared toward all-time highs amid the hype for generative AI, which was launched after the successful debut of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT service. Shares have more than doubled so far this year, growing 109% as the S&P 500 index
\n SPX,
\n -0.73%<\/bg-quote>
\n has increased 8%.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
