Nvidia Beats, but I’m Still Looking Elsewhere
Hello, Reader. Although I know it sounds hard to believe, there was a time when Nvidia Corp. ( NVDA ) wasn’t one of the hottest stocks on Wall Street. When the company went public on January 22, 1999, it opened at $12 and then traded as low as $0.03 in May 1999. In the 24 years since its IPO, though, Nvidia has grown remarkably in popularity and its stock price along with it. In fact, CNBC’s Jim Cramer even named his dog “Nvidia” back in 2017. The hype surrounding Nvidia has turned into such a frenzy that even its second-quarter earnings report was considered a must-watch event. A group of investors in New York organized an earnings “watch party” for Wednesday evening. Somehow, Nvidia’s earnings had turned into Wall Street’s Super Bowl, or its version of the Oscars. So, how did Nvidia do? The chip company’s second-quarter revenue soared 122% year-over-year to a record $30.0 billion, which topped estimates of $25.64 billion. Data center revenue also set a new record, jumping 154% year-over-year to $26.3 billion.
