Nvidia announced another very strong quarter after the bell. The company surpassed its own revenue forecast by around $2bn (again!) and printed a sales number of $35.1bn. That’s around $5bn more than last quarter’s number and almost the double of the amount earned during the same period a year ago. The company printed a total profit of an eye-watering $19.3bn – that’s also around $2bn more than pencilled in by analysts. And it made a revenue forecast of $37.5bn for the current quarter. That’s $2bn more than the actual revenue – as it has been the case for the past few quarters – but only slightly above the consensus of $37bn.
