Nvidia posted second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion, more than doubling year-over-year, and issued guidance for roughly 70 percent revenue growth in fiscal 2028. The company also guided next-quarter revenue at $108 billion plus or minus 2 percent while its stock rose more than 7 percent. Analysts had projected lower growth rates for the longer-term outlook.
Nvidia's results show concentrated gains for AI infrastructure firms while raising questions about labor displacement, energy demands, and unequal distribution of profits.
