NVIDIA reported strong financial results for the third quarter, surpassing revenue and earnings expectations. The chipmaker's revenue forecast for the fourth quarter is set at $37.5 billion, slightly above the Wall Street estimate of $37.1 billion. However, this figure fell short of traders' expectations, which were at least $39 billion. NVIDIA's data center segment is on track to achieve a historic milestone, with projected trailing 12-month revenue crossing $100 billion for the first time next quarter. This represents a significant growth trajectory, with the annual run rate for the data center business tripling from one year ago and increasing sixfold over the past two years. The company's third-quarter profit doubled, positioning it among the top growth companies in the S&P 500, driven by surging demand for AI-driven chips.
