Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) Wednesday reported lower revenues and earnings for the third quarter of 2023. The bottom line also fell short of expectations.
The Santa Clara-headquartered graphics chipmaker said its adjusted net income declined to $0.58 per share in the October quarter from $1.17 per share a year earlier. Market watchers had predicted a smaller fall. Net income, including special items, was $680 million or $0.27 per share in the latest quarter, compared to $2.46 billion or $0.97 per share in the third quarter of 2022.
The earnings drop reflects a 17% year-over-year decline in revenues to $5.93 billion. The top line, however, exceeded estimates.
