Good evening. All AI-z are on Nvidia today👀, as the world’s most-valuable company reported Q2 results after the bell.

Some highlights:

• Revenue—buoyed by the company's latest-generation Blackwell chip—increased 56% year-over-year to reach $46.7 billion, slightly above analysts’ estimates of $46.5 billion.
• Similarly, earnings weren’t GPU-normous but came in solid at $1.05/share, above consensus projections of $1.01/share.

The company also updated its outlook, forecasting ~$54 billion of revenue in Q3 (vs. analysts estimates of ~$53.1 billion). This doesn’t factor in any sales in China, though Nvidia expects to receive licenses from the US gov’t to export its H20 chip to the region.

In need of extra heat or liquid cooling? Nvidia's market cap stood at ~$4.4 trillion this week, ~$700 billion ahead of Microsoft, the next most valuable company. This gives Nvidia an 8.1% weighting in the S&P 500, providing its stock with the power to swing the market.

On that note…Nvidia shares were down slightly in after-hours trading.
