NVIDIA reported a record $30.0 billion in revenue for the second quarter ended July 28, 2024, marking a 15% increase from the previous quarter and a substantial 122% rise year-over-year. The surge was primarily driven by the Data Center business, which generated $26.3 billion, up 16% from Q1 and up 154% from the same period last year. The company’s GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.67, up 12% sequentially, while non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.68, representing an 11% increase.
NVIDIA continues to expand its product offerings and market reach across several key sectors. The company highlighted advancements in AI and networking technologies, including the introduction of new processors, the adoption of its Spectrum-X Ethernet platform, and further integration of its AI services across industries. Additionally, NVIDIA’s ongoing share repurchase program, bolstered by a recent $50.0 billion authorization, reflects its strong financial position and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
