NVIDIA annuncia i risultati finanziari per il terzo trimestre fiscale 2023
“We are quickly adapting to the macro environment, correcting inventory levels and paving the way for new products,” disse Jensen Huang, fondatore e CEO di NVIDIA. “The ramp of our new platforms – Ada Lovelace RTX graphics, Hopper AI computing, BlueField and Quantum networking, Orin for autonomous vehicles and robotics, and Omniverse-is off to a great start and forms the foundation of our next phase of growth.
“NVIDIA’s pioneering work in accelerated computing is more vital than ever. Limited by physics, general purpose computing has slowed to a crawl, just as AI demands more computing. Accelerated computing lets companies achieve orders-of-magnitude increases in productivity while saving money and the environment,” ha detto. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, NVIDIA returned to shareholders $3.75 billion in share repurchases and cash dividends, bringing the return in the first three quarters to $9.29 miliardi. As of October 30, 2022, the company had $8.28 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization through December 2023.
NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share on December 22, 2022, to all shareholders of record on December 1, 2022.
