Nvidia Shares Surge After Q2 Revenue Hits $96.2 Billion
Nvidia shares rose 8.74% in after-hours trading following a second-quarter earnings beat and a deal with AWS for 2 million additional GPUs. The company reported revenue of $96.2 billion, doubling its previous performance and surpassing analyst forecasts. While the company provided a surprise revenue forecast for 2028, rising costs are creating a margin squeeze.

Nvidia Shares Rise Over 4% Following Earnings Beat
Nvidia shares gained more than 4% after the company released a second-quarter earnings report that surpassed analyst forecasts. The results follow a period of high volatility where options traders anticipated a $280 billion price swing. While some analysts predicted a fifth consecutive quarterly decline following reports, the current market reaction is positive. The company entered the report with a $91 billion revenue target and expectations surrounding the Blackwell ramp, while investors used the print as a barometer for the broader AI trade and potential bubble risks.
Why it matters
Nvidia is heavily dependent on hyperscalers for its growth, making its earnings a primary indicator for AI infrastructure investment. The company's Rubin debut and AI financing scrutiny have added pressure to its valuation. Recent trends showed bulls being punished in the run-up to these results despite strong historical earnings.
What is confirmed
- Nvidia earnings surpassed analyst forecasts.
- Nvidia shares gained over 4% after the earnings report.
Still unconfirmed
- IREN stock fell 6% as traders de-risked before the Nvidia report.
