Nvidia surges on another blowout earnings driven by #AI buildout demand, but all-time highs have markets cautious on the rest of the ecosystem.
Nvidia crushed its fiscal Q2 earnings yesterday on strong #AI demand.
FQ2 revenue topped $26B ($2B above its own guidance) and sees FQ3 topping $28B.
Data Centers, where #AI is reported, was up 5x from last year.
It’s no surprise that Nvidia popped +9% today.
However, outside of servers, the rest of the #AI ecosystem pulled back.
So why wasn’t the read thru more positive broadly? It’s likely for a number of reasons.
One, markets are at all-time highs giving investors pause on how much further the rally can go.
Two, summer is just around the corner when markets are slower.
And three, it’s likely a “sell the news” reaction.
There was a lot of anticipation for another Nvidia’s beat. We saw the market initially rise early before a steady stream of selling to close.
We wouldn’t be surprised with more near-term pullback with the #AI hype likely still a little ahead of itself right now. However, we’re still see #AI as a significant driver for the market longer-term.
