Nvidia said it expected about $11 billion, plus or minus 2%, in the current quarter, far surpassing Refinitiv expectations of $1.06 per share on $7.15 billion in sales.

Nvidia stock is up 109% so far in 2023, mostly driven by optimism stemming from the company’s leading position in the market for AI chips. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company was seeing “surging demand” for its data center products.

Nvidia’s datacenter group reported $4.28 billion in sales, versus expectations of $3.9 billion, a 14% annual increase. Nvidia said that the company’s performance was driven by demand for the company’s GPU chips from cloud companies as well and large consumer internet companies, which use Nvidia chips to train and deploy generative AI applications like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Nvidia’s strong performance in data center shows that AI chips are becoming increasingly important for cloud providers and other companies that run large amounts of servers.

However, Nvidia’s gaming division, which includes the company’s graphics cards for PC sales, reported $2.24 billion in sales, versus expectations of $1.98 billion, although overall revenue for the category was down 38% on an annual basis. Nvidia blamed a slower macroeconomic environment as well the ramp of the company’s latest GPUs for gaming for the decline.

Nvidia’s automotive division, including chips and software to develop self-driving cars grew 114% on a year-over-year basis, but remains small at under $300 million in sales for the quarter.

Net income for the quarter was $2.04 billion, versus $1.62 billion from the same period last year. However, Nvidia’s overall sales fell 13% on a year-over-year basis.
