Nvidia Earnings Beat Expectations Again, But Why Did the Stock Fall?

NVIDIA delivered another strong quarterly performance, reporting $68.13 billion in revenue versus $66.21 billion expected, with adjusted earnings of $1.62 per share exceeding estimates. Data centre revenue surged 75% year-over-year to $62.3 billion, underscoring continued strength in AI-driven infrastructure demand. The company also guided for $78 billion in next-quarter revenue, well above consensus forecasts. Despite the headline beat, NVDA shares reversed after rising more than 3% in after-hours trading. The pullback occurred during the earnings call, where investor attention shifted from past results to forward risks. Key concerns centred on China exposure. Management confirmed that recent data centre guidance excludes China revenue, and regulatory approvals for advanced chips remain unresolved. For some investors, this introduces uncertainty around long-term growth potential in a historically important semiconductor market. In addition, expectations heading into earnings were already elevated, with the stock up in the sessions prior to the report. When valuations price in near-perfection, even strong results can trigger profit-taking rather than breakout momentum.
