Nvidia posts $96.2B Q2 revenue; profits double
Question
Nvidia posts $96.2B Q2 revenue; profits double
Direct answer
Nvidia reported a $96.2 billion revenue quarter, a 106% year-over-year increase, with $29.2 billion in adjusted net income and $2.22 adjusted EPS. The company added nearly $50 billion of revenue in the period and the stock's reported valuation compressed to under 27x earnings. These figures are explicit demand metrics for AI compute. Market transmission runs through NVDA equity moves, delta- and gamma-hedging in listed options, and headline-driven rebalancing in semiconductor ETFs and futures. Practical implications: monitor NVDA after-hours print and the first two hours of the cash session for gap, watch 30-day and 7-day IV repricing and 0DTE / 1D option flow that can cascade into SMH and related names. — bullish pressure on SMH.
