Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) reported blockbuster third-quarter fiscal 2024 results, demonstrating robust growth and setting new records for revenues and earnings. It topped both earnings and revenue estimates and offered a bullish revenue outlook for the current quarter on booming artificial intelligence (AI) demand for its high-powered chips.

Despite the blowout results, Nvidia shares dipped 1% in after-market trading on concerns about trade restrictions. Investors could tap the robust results with the help of ETFs having the largest allocation to NVIDIA. These include GraniteShares 1.5x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL - Free Report), VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH - Free Report), AXS Esoterica NextG Economy ETF (WUGI - Free Report), Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ - Free Report) and Pacer Data and Digital Revolution ETF (TRFK - Free Report).


Nvidia Earnings in Focus

Earnings per share came in at $4.02, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.36 and up more than threefold from the year-ago quarter. Revenues jumped 206% year over year to a record $18.12 billion and edged past the consensus mark of $16.19 billion.

The growth was powered by the company's Data Center segment, which alone contributed $14.5 billion to revenues, up 279% year over year. Gaming revenues rose 15% year over year to $2.86 billion.

Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, attributed the strong growth to the industry's transition from general-purpose to accelerated computing and generative AI. He emphasized the role of NVIDIA's GPUs, CPUs, networking, AI foundry services and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software as key drivers of growth.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the graphics chipmaker expects revenues of around $20 billion, plus or minus 2%. This is much higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $17.85 billion. The world’s largest chipmaker continues to benefit from the explosive demand for its cutting-edge chips used in AI applications, which are used to power ChatGPT and many similar services, and is boosting supply to meet surging demand. Nvidia's chips are used in applications ranging from robotics and the metaverse to medical imaging and video analytics.

However, new restrictions on chip exports to China implemented by the Biden Administration would weigh on results. The chip designer expects a steep drop in fourth-quarter sales in China — a key revenue generator — in the wake of new U.S. rules.

Investors should note that Nvidia has risen about 240% so far this year, widely outperforming the S&P 500’s rise of 18%.
