Nvidia's stock fell by over 1% following the company's announcement of significantly better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter. Despite reporting a revenue of $30 billion and adjusting earnings per share of $0.68, which surpassed analyst expectations, the stock declined, likely due to immediate market reactions. Nvidia's revenue from its data center business was particularly strong, contributing $26.3 billion, which is a 154% increase year-over-year. The company is optimistic about future revenue driven by its upcoming Blackwell chip, with production starting soon. Nvidia also announced a substantial increase in its share buyback program, raising it by $50 billion. Overall, the company remains a leader in the AI chip market with strong ties to major tech firms.
