Analysts expect the company to report earnings of $1.58 per share on revenue of $2.92 billion. This compares to earnings of $1.84 per share on revenue of $3.18 billion.
Nvidia has struggled with lower demand for graphic cards following a slump in the cryptocurrency space. The company has seen weak revenues in its gaming and data center businesses over the past two quarters. However, the demand in gaming chips could have picked up during the third quarter helped by new products and technologies.
The demand for data center components seems to have also gained momentum during the quarter and this is likely to help the topline results. NVIDIA’s investments in artificial intelligence capabilities also bode well as there is increasing growth potential in this space.
