Wall Street called for the company to rake in revenue of $2.2 billion during the period. “Nvidia is back on an upward trajectory,” said Jensen Huang, Nvidia founder and CEO, in a statement. “Despite the near-term pause in demand from hyperscale customers, the application of AI continues to accelerate.”

For its second quarter, the company foresees earnings of $2.5 billion to $2.6 billion, in line with analysts’ guidance of $2.54 billion.
