NVIDIA annuncia i risultati finanziari per il terzo trimestre fiscale 2022
“The third quarter was outstanding, with record revenue,” disse Jensen Huang, fondatore e CEO di NVIDIA. “Demand for NVIDIA AI is surging, driven by hyperscale and cloud scale-out, and broadening adoption by more than 25,000 companies. NVIDIA RTX has reinvented computer graphics with ray tracing and AI, and is the ideal upgrade for the large, growing market of gamers and creators, as well as designers and professionals building home workstations.
“Our GTC event series showcases the expanding universe of NVIDIA accelerated computing. Last week’s event was our most successful yet, highlighting diverse applications, including supply-chain logistics, sicurezza informatica, natural language processing, quantum computing research, robotica, self-driving cars, climate science and digital biology.
“Omniverse was a major theme at GTC. We showed what is possible when we can jump into virtual worlds. Omniverse will be used from collaborative design, customer service avatars and video conferencing, to digital twins of factories, processing plants, even entire cities. Omniverse brings together NVIDIA’s expertise in AI, simulazione, graphics and computing infrastructure. This is the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come,” ha detto.
NVIDIA paid quarterly cash dividends of $100 million in the third quarter. It will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on December 23, 2021, to all shareholders of record on December 2, 2021.
NVIDIA’s outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 is as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be $7.40 miliardi, più o meno 2 percent.
- GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 65.3 Continuando ad aprire la strada alla tecnologia UFS 67.0 percent, rispettivamente, più o meno 50 basis points.
- GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $2.02 billion and $1.43 miliardi, rispettivamente.
- GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are both expected to be an expense of approximately $60 milioni di euro, excluding gains and losses from non-affiliated investments.
- GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 11 percent, più o meno 1 percent, excluding any discrete items such as excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation.
