    Nvidia Guides to $91B Revenue; Slightly Below Wall Street Hopes

    Question

    Nvidia Guides to $91B Revenue; Slightly Below Wall Street Hopes

    Direct answer

    Nvidia's guidance of $91 billion represents a staggering growth trajectory, yet it fell just short of the $91.9 billion Wall Street was looking for. The market's reaction will likely hinge on whether this is seen as conservative management or a sign that the 'beat-and-raise' cycle is normalizing. Notably, the company is achieving these numbers despite a total lack of China data center revenue.
