Nvidia beats expectations, but its shares fall 3.5%
WHAT HAPPENED
Nvidia exceeded forecasts: it earned $2.22 per share and sold $96.2 billion, 106% more than a year ago. It also anticipated up to $110.1 billion in sales for the next quarter, but its stock fell 3.5%.
WHY IT MATTERS
The market was already expecting excellent results. Now investors doubt that Nvidia can grow at this pace forever, especially since tech companies are resorting to debt to build artificial intelligence data centers.
AND FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO
Even if you do not have Nvidia directly, it may be in funds that track the markets or retirement savings. Therefore, a sharp drop in this company can move the tech sector and affect the value of those funds.
