The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story. Facts only one channel reported are attributed to it.
Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, has reported revenues of nearly $100 billion for the three months to the end of July. The results, which double the figure from the same period last year, were described as "very solid" and point to continued strong demand for the company's artificial intelligence chips.
The company, which is worth more than $5 trillion, has become central to the AI boom. Its chips power the brains of AI systems, and it has also become a major lender to other firms in the sector. Nvidia faces competition from China and from its own rivals, but its latest numbers suggest it remains dominant.
Looking ahead, Nvidia says it expects to make even more, forecasting $108 billion in revenue for the next three months. The company's performance is closely watched by global financial markets, and its fortunes matter to UK savers, with one third of most UK pensions invested in American companies. According to the BBC's business editor, 40% of the entire US stock market is made up of AI-related companies, making Nvidia's results a bellwether for the wider economy.
