Read MoreHide Full Article

Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) disaapointed investors with its first-quarter fiscal 2023 results despite beating the estimates on both earnings and revenues. The graphics chipmaker offered a weak sales guidance for the ongoing quarter.

The dismal guidance has pushed Nvidia shares down as much as 10% in after market trading on elevated volume. This has put ETFs having the largest allocation to NVIDIA in focus. These include MicroSectors FANG+ ETN (FNGS - Free Report) , Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ - Free Report) , VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH - Free Report) , TrueShares Technology, AI and Deep Learning ETF (LRNZ - Free Report) and Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (METV - Free Report) .

Nvidia Earnings in Focus

Earnings per share came in at $1.36, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.30 and improving 49% from the year-ago earnings. Revenues jumped 46% year over year to a record $8.29 billion and outpaced the consensus mark of $8.12 billion. Nvidia has enjoyed a strong period of revenue growth during the pandemic as videogame consumption has increased and more individuals and businesses have started using digital services that run on data centers.

Gaming revenues climbed 31% year over year to a record $3.62 billion, while data center sales surged 83% to $3.75 billion. Professional visualization revenues spiked 67% to $622 million (read: Time for Semiconductor ETFs?).

Nvidia provided revenue guidance of $8.10 billion (+/-2%) for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. This is well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.39 billion. The company forecast that sales for video game chips would decline in the current quarter, citing supply-chain disruptions in China, reduced business in Russia and slowing the gaming market.

However, the company has geared up for the largest wave of new products in its history, with new GPU, CPU, DPU and robotics processors ramping in the second half.
