Nvidia Q2 Profits Rise on Gaming, Datacenter Demand

[Deleted member 2197]

Not too "shabby" for a company under supposed "strain".

Gaming chipmaker Nvidia Corp. couldn’t ward off the effects of the seasonal decline in the consumer PC market as sales in its second fiscal quarter of 2015 came in flat sequentially.

Still, Nvidia managed to grow its top line by 13%, to $1.103 billion from $977 million a year ago, and post a 30% jump in net profits, which reached $173 million. Compared with the previous quarter, Nvidia’s net income increased 4%. It also posted a record gross-profit margin of 56.1%, which was driven by strong average selling prices for consumer GPUs and record quarterly Tesla chip sales.

Revenue from Nvidia’s GeForce GPUs for gaming desktops and notebooks grew 10%. The GeForce GPU line includes its recently released GeForce GTX750, GTX750 Ti, and Maxwell-based GPUs.

During a conference call with analysts following the earnings release, management said that Tesla GPUs now power the world’s 15 most energy-efficient supercomputers on the Green500 list. They also said that Tesla products power the fastest computer in the United States and Europe, as well as the world’s fastest enterprise supercomputer.

Gross margins of 56.1%. Not bad at all. And interesting how they are reporting strength in the GeForce unit. You'd think they'd have some pressure there with long in the tooth GPUs (other than GTX750.)

The Gaming PC segment, where higher-end GPUs are used, was a bright spot in the market in Q1. Nvidia and AMD high-end GPUs sales were strong, lifting the ASPs for the discrete GPU market.
