$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ announced Wednesday after the close with fourth-quarter results that beat expectations. The outperformance came as its Data Center business held up and Gaming revenue rebounded.
Nvidia's Key Q4 Metrics: Santa Clara, California-based Nvidia reported fourth-quarter non-GAAP earnings per share of 88 cents compared to the consensus estimate of 81 cents. This marked a decline from the year ago's $1.32 but better than the third quarter's 58 cents.
Revenue came in at $6.05 billion, slightly ahead of the Street estimate of $6.01 billion. The top line, however, fell 21% from the $7.64 billion Nvidia reported a year ago. Nvidia's third-quarter revenue was $5.93 billion.
The company guided to revenue of $6 billion plus or minus 2%.
Rosenblatt semiconductor analyst Hans Mosesmann expected Nvidia to deliver on fourth-quarter expectations on a "gradual return to sell-in match-up top sell-through in Gaming and early ramp/momentum of the new Hopper GPU/Compute cycle."
For the fiscal year, the company reported non-GAAP EPS of $3.34, down 25% year-over-year, and revenue of $26.97 billion. Analysts, on average, modeled EPS and revenue of $3.27 and $26.92 billion, respectively.
GAAP and Non-GAAP gross margins fell year-over-year, reflecting lower Gaming margins and a higher contribution from Automotive, partially offset by a higher contribution from Data Center. These improved sequentially due to lower inventory charges.
Nvidia's Sum-Of-The Parts: Segment-wise, Data Center revenue totaled $3.62 billion, down about 5.7% sequentially but up 10.8% year-over-year. It accounted for roughly 59.8% of the total revenue. The year-over-year growth reflected strength in U.S. cloud service providers. Reduced China sales led to the sequential decline.
Gaming revenue climbed 16% sequentially but was down a steep 46.5% year-over-year. It accounted for $1.8 billion or about 30% of the total revenue.
"Gaming is recovering from the post-pandemic downturn, with gamers enthusiastically embracing the new Ada architecture GPUs with AI neural rendering," said CEO Jensen Huang.
The rest of the segments, namely Professional Visualization, Autos and OEM & Other, contributed $226 million, $294 million and $84 million, respectively, to total revenue.
Automotive revenue came in at a record, reflecting growth in sales of self-driving solutions, computing solutions for electric vehicle makers and strength in sales of AI cockpit solutions.
Nvidia's Forward Outlook: Nvidia guided to first-quarter revenue of $6.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, and non-GAAP gross margins of 66.5%. Analysts, on average, target EPS of 86 cents, down from a year ago's $1.36, and revenue of $6.34 billion, a 23.5%. year-over-year decline.
"We are set to help customers take advantage of breakthroughs in generative AI and large language models. Our new AI supercomputer, with H100 and its Transformer Engine and Quantum-2 networking fabric, is in full production," Huang said.
In after-hours trading, Nvidia stock traded up 8.5% at $225.19, according to Benzinga Pro data. The average analysts' price target for Nvidia stock, compiled by TipRanks, is $234.14, suggesting about 13% upside potential.
$英偉達 (NVDA.US)$ 收盤後週三宣布,第四季度業績超出預期。業績突出,因為其數據中心業務持續不斷增長,博彩收入反彈。
英偉達的關鍵 Q4 指標: 總部位於加利福尼亞州聖克拉拉的 Nvidia 報告了第四季度的非 GAAP 每股盈利為 88 美分,而共識估計為 81 美分。這標誌著一年前的 1.32 美元下降,但優於第三季度的 58 美分。
收入為 60.5 億元,略高於街道的 60.1 億元估計。然而,最高水平從 Nvidia 一年前報導的 764 億美元下降了 21%。英達的第三季度收入為 5.93 億美元。
該公司的收入為 60 億美元加上或減去 2%。
罗森布拉特半导体分析师 汉斯·摩西曼 預計 Nvidia 將實現第四季度的預期,「逐步回歸與遊戲中的銷售額最高銷售率以及新的 Hoppper GPU /計算週期的早期升高/勢頭」。
該公司報告的非公認會計準則每股盈餘為 3.34 美元,較去年同期下降 25%,營收為 2697 億美元。平均而言,分析師以每股盈餘為模擬,營收分別為 3.27 億美元和 26.92 億美元。
GAAP 和非 GAAP 毛利率同比下降,反映出遊戲利潤下降和汽車業的貢獻較高,部分被數據中心的貢獻所抵銷。由於較低的庫存費用,這些因素循序改善。
英偉達的部分總和: 從細分方面看,數據中心收入總計 36.5 億美元,較前一季下降約 5.7%,但同比增長 10.8%。它約佔總收入的 59.8%。同比增長反映了美國雲端服務供應商的實力。中國銷售減少導致連續下降。
