***NVIDIA breaches $1,000 a share after crushing Q1 expectations on unwavering demand for AI

9:58 AM ET 5/23/24 | Briefing.com

In what has become a common occurrence over the past year, AI powerhouse NVIDIA NVDA +8%) cleared analysts' Q1 (Apr) earnings and sales estimates and projected Q2 (Jul) revs well ahead of consensus. NVDA's performance continues to speak volumes to the health of the AI demand landscape. Prominent tech firms, from Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) to Google (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA), are pouring billions into AI. With NVDA leading the AI race, boasting more powerful and efficient chips than its closest rival, Advanced Micro (AMD), its quarterly results continue to benefit enormously.

However, few signs pointed to abrupt pullbacks in AI spending, and shares of NVDA were already near all-time highs leading into its Q1 report after doubling YTD, driving lofty investor expectations. Meanwhile, concerns were cropping up regarding the possibility customers reigned in their orders for NVDA's current flagship AI platform, Hopper (H100 and its successor H200), after the company announced its upcoming Blackwell platform touting magnitudes more power and efficiency.

Remaining a force to be reckoned with, NVDA not only crushed elevated expectations but also alleviated fears of order delays connected to Blackwell, commenting that everybody remains anxious to get their AI infrastructure online as soon as possible. Further good news came from Mr. Huang's remarks that NVDA should see plenty of Blackwell-related revs this year, an earlier timeline than the market may have expected, as the company previously projected shipping Blackwell around early 2025.

Unwavering demand for AI was reflected in another quarter of exceptional headline numbers. 

NVDA delivered adjusted EPS of $6.12, an over 400% improvement yr/yr, on top-line growth of 262% to $26.04 bln, well ahead of NVDA's $23.52-24.48 bln forecast.

 Data Center revenue growth of 427% yr/yr led the charge in Q1, reflecting customer's hunger for Hopper GPUs even as Blackwell sits on the horizon.

 NVDA's other segments, including Gaming, Professional Visualization, and Automotive, each enjoyed double-digit yr/yr revenue growth. NVDA also announced a ten-for-one stock split, effective June 7 and a $0.01 per share quarterly dividend following the split. Even though a stock split merely makes shares appear less expensive, it can often generate investor enthusiasm; a lower price per share has a psychological effect and a real benefit for options traders. Looking ahead,

 NVDA anticipates another phenomenal quarter, projecting Q2 revenue of $27.44-28.56 bln or roughly 107% yr/yr growth. Non-GAAP gross margins are expected to cool off compared to Q1, landing around 75.5% compared to 78.9% this quarter. However, this is consistent with management's previous comments that favorable component costs would die down.

While nothing seems to be able to slow NVDA down, risks are still present. Tech firms are allocating massive sums toward AI in anticipation of private companies and governments signing on to extract massive productivity enhancements. Jumps in productivity could materialize as expected, but the timeline behind it is unclear, potentially leading to excess supply and orders drying up. Nevertheless, without any slowdown in capital spending on AI, NVDA will likely continue to deliver excellent quarterly performance.

* Micron Technologys Positive Outlook Was Bigger Surprise, Morgan Stanley Says

1:35 PM ET 3/21/24 | MT Newswires

-- Micron Technology (MU) crushed forecasts with its fiscal Q2 results, posting an unexpected profit and above-consensus revenue, but Morgan Stanley said in a note the real surprise was the chipmaker's upbeat outlook for the ongoing quarter.

Morgan Stanley analysts said Thursday that while they believe Micron's financial performance may weaken during H2, the company's share price will likely continue to strengthen, especially over the near term.

Micron Technology benefitted from its pricing for memory and storage products in the most recent quarter, Morgan Stanley said, noting that strength was a big factor in its Q2 earnings.

The analysts also acknowledged being wrong on the stock price. "We recognize that we have been (very) wrong on the stock," they wrote, but also added a caveat they "see better value elsewhere" among chipmakers in the memory sector.

Morgan Stanley increased its price target for Micron to $98 from $78 with an underweight rating.

Micron shares were more than 16% higher in recent trading.
