    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.

    → Nvidia's outsized Q2 print will reprice NVDA equity and short-dated options via heavy after-hours flows, shifting NVDA implied volatility and influencing semiconductor index futures (SOX/NQ) into the open.
