Nvidia, the world’s most valuable chipmaker, gave an upbeat revenue forecast for the current period, even as a slowdown in China weighed on results. Sales will be about $45 billion in the second fiscal quarter, which runs through July, the company said on Wednesday. That included the loss of roughly $8 billion in revenue from China because of export controls. The forecast was in line with analysts’ estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Nvidia shares rose about 4% in extended trading following the announcement. The outlook shows that Nvidia is ramping up production of Blackwell, its latest semiconductor design. The chipmaker — now the world’s largest by revenue — dominates the market for AI accelerators, the components that help develop and run artificial intelligence models. And an ever-broader lineup of hardware and software is letting Nvidia sell more products to customers.For instant reaction and analysis, hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with: Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Tech Industry Analyst Mandeep Sing Joe Kaiser, Managing Director at Mercato Partners See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
