Moments ago nvidia reported blowout Q3 earnings with revenue tripling as AI chip boom continues
However, it warns of "significant" China slowdown, guidance matches whisper range; stock is down 1% after-hours... The blowout earnings were certainly good news... but the warning about declining China sales and the guidance which only tagged the top end of the whisper guidance, that was not quite as exciting, and as a result, the stock initially dumped as much as $30 after hours, before recovering most of its losses, but has since resumed drifting 1% lower, setting up the stock for its first post-earnings drop since the advent of ChatGPT almost exactly one year ago.

Apple Earnings:
While the numbers were mixed, with revenue of almost $82 billion coming above expectations thanks to strong service revenue offsetting iPhone print and a miss on Products, Macs and wearables, what the market did not like (again) is that this was another quarter without revenue growth and the 4rd consecutive quarter of annual revenue declines: the first time for AAPL since 2001. Here are some key number from FY Q1 2024 Apple: • Revenue -1% Y/Y to $89.5B (in-line). Services +16% Y/Y to $22.3B. Products -5% Y/Y to $67.2B. • Operating margin 30% (+3pp Y/Y). • EPS $1.46 ($0.07 beat). • Returned $93B to shareholders in FY23 ($78B in buybacks and $15B in dividends).

Amazon reports better-than-expected results, as revenue jumps 13%
Amazon said fourth-quarter sales will be between $160 billion and $167 billion. Analysts were expecting revenue of $166.6 billion, according to LSEG. At the mid-point of its guidance range, revenue of $163.5 billion would represent growth of 9.6% from $149.2 billion a year earlier. Revenue climbed 13% in the third quarter, a sign that the business is seeing some acceleration after a difficult 2022 that was marred by soaring inflation and rising interest rates. Amazon has been in cost-cutting mode for the past year as it became clear that it expanded too quickly during the pandemic. The company has laid off 27,000 employees since last fall, and it’s axed some of its more unprofitable bets.
