Nvidia shows record profit and revenue off strong gaming sales

[Curufinwe_wins]

Spoiler

Semantics aside, NVIDIA had a record quarter.  Gross revenue was an impressive $2.173 billion US.  This is up slightly more than $700 million from the previous Q4.  NVIDIA has shown amazing growth during this time attributed to several factors.  Net income (GAAP) is at $655 million.  This again is a tremendous amount of profit for a company that came in just over $2 billion in revenue.  We can compare this to AMD’s results two weeks ago that hit $1.11 billion in revenue and a loss of $51 million for the quarter.  Consider that AMD provides CPUs, chipsets, and GPUs to the market and is the #2 x86 manufacturer in the world.

The yearly results were just as impressive.  FY 2017 featured record revenue and net income.  Revenue was $6.91 billion as compare to FY 2016 at $5 billion.  Net income for the year was $1.666 billion with comparison to $614 million for FY 2016.  The growth for the entire year is astounding, and certainly the company had not seen an expansion like this since the early 2000s.

The core strength of the company continues to be gaming.  Gaming GPUs and products provided $1.348 billion in revenue by themselves.

Basically Nvidia is rolling in dough...

 

It made almost more money than AMD had revenue it's last quarter, and gaming GPU revenue has doubled year to date.

 

Great news for investors as Nvidias push into the automotive industry also looks to be paying off.

It might be a good time to invest into AMD with Ryzen set to realse shortly.

Well, congratulations Nvidia. But you wont get anywhere with 20 hours of gameplay for 25€ and a 1060 (a waste of resources and not gonna yeld a sufficient enough aglomerate of consumers xD)!

[CostcoSamples]

Wow that is seriously impressive.  I'm always happy to hear reports that the industry is thriving!  Next it's AMD's turn!  *fingers crossed*

[VagabondWraith]

Well, I just contributed $1200 today.

[leadeater]

Hmm so it's a trend, or time travel . Their Q1FY17 prediction is rather interesting.

[Guest Kloaked]

Their stocks have been fluctuating a lot from what I noticed over the last few months.

 

 

....not that I own any or anything.

[Bcat00]

Im happy their stock is rising because i bought some a while back, but i'm really sad i didn't buy more when i had the chance?

I actually did invest 60 bucks. But i was in dire money straights for the month and took the same amount of money back out (stock prices didn't go down). A week later the price doubled and tripled and I could have made 200 bucks off my stocks... that was a very bad month for me.

I did $700 last week, 1080 is beast.

why do you waste your time posting and arguing over Fiscal year data? This is stuff that hasnt happened. For all we know, a meteor can hit Nvidias HQ next week and thus none of this holds true.

 

VEGA can become a huge hit, and thus, none of these numbers holds true.

 

TSMC can be hit by chinese military intervention with Taiwan.

 

dont

waste

Should have done that back when it was still $2 USD 2 years ago.

[dizmo]

Pretty cool but not surprising. Really wish I'd jumped on AMD stocks but I didn't think of it.

With their very strong showing in categories other than gaming, it won't be long before they're an absolute powerhouse.

Good luck AMD.

Uhmmm. You know earnings reports are for things that have already happened, right?

This is current data, not future projections.

A companies fiscal year does not have to start in January. It starts whenever the company wants, as long as it's a 12 month period. Naturally it caries on from when they set it.

This includes data from Q2, Q3 and Q4 2017, that can only be trend prediction. There is both past and future data being shown.

@dizmo

Never mind, damn you Nvidia

 

Quote

NVIDIA’s is unique with their fiscal vs. calendar year as compared to how AMD and Intel report. 

 

So when NVIDIA announces Q4 2017, it is actually reflecting the Q4 period in 2016.  Clear as mud?

Well they are the true innovators, who else is going to perfectly embody our D.N.A. and Corporate Culture, the engineers? Pff.

At this point, I'm not sure who's being sarcastic.

 

Damn you marketing people are good.
