Nvidia Reports Better-Than-Expected Earnings

The shares of Nvidia have been rallying since the company reported its third-quarter fiscal earnings earlier today. The company’s earnings surpassed analysts’ estimates, and the stock is up by more than 8% at press time.

The revenue in the third quarter was $7.1 billion, surpassing the $6.82 billion estimated by Wall Street analysts. Furthermore, the earnings per share were $1.17, which is above the $1.11 expected by analysts.

Nvidia’s earnings per share were up by more than 60% year-over-year, while the revenue is up by more than 50% from the same period last year. Following the recent stock rally, Nvidia’s market cap surpassed the $800 billion mark earlier today.

Nvidia Could Be the Next Trillion-Dollar Company

Nvidia’s market cap rose past the $800 billion mark after the company reported its third-quarter earnings. According to CNBC’s Jim Kramer, Nvidia could be set to be the next trillion-dollar club. The chip manufacturer could join giants such as Tesla, Apple, Amazon and Microsoft in this category.

The chip manufacturer is one of the best-performing companies in the tech sector. Since the start of the year, NVDA has added more than 140% to its value. At press time, NVDA is trading at $315 per share.

If the stock continues with its recent performance, it could rally past the $350 level before the end of the year. This could see its market cap close in on the $1 trillion mark over the coming weeks and months.
