NVIDIA's Earnings Forecast for the First Quarter by Citi

1. As expected, NVIDIA's total sales for the first quarter of April were 24 billion dollars, and data center (DC) sales were 21 billion dollars.

2. Citi estimates total sales to be approximately 26 billion dollars and DC sales to be approximately 23 billion dollars.

3. Citi expects sales for the fiscal year ending July to be 27.5 billion dollars compared to the market forecast of 26.5 billion dollars and the buyer's forecast of about 28 billion dollars.

4. Citi anticipates that sales will increase slightly compared to the previous quarter because sales volume will increase, H100 lead time will be shortened, and gross profit margin will normalize before GB200 sales increase in the first half of '25.
