Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) reported solid first-quarter fiscal 2021 results after market close yesterday, wherein it outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate on earnings and revenues. However, the company offered a weak guidance for the ongoing quarter.
Earnings per share came in at $1.80, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.69 and improving from year-ago earnings of 88 cents. Revenues grew 39% year over year to $3.108 billion and outpaced the consensus mark of $3 billion. The strong results were driven by a surge in data center business, mainly due to massive demand for its chips used in the data centers that power the shift to working remotely because of the new coronavirus outbreak.
In fact, data center sales topped $1 billion for the first time ever in the quarter, representing an 80% increase from the year-ago quarter. Also, gaming revenues rose 27% year over year (read: Video Gaming ETFs Set to Gain on Strong Activision Results).
Nvidia provided revenue guidance for the fiscal second quarter of $3.65 billion (+/-2%). This is below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.37 billion.
As a result, shares of NVIDIA rose 0.4% in after-hours trading on elevated volume. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a VGM Score of B. It falls within a favorable Zacks industry (placed at the top 18% of 250+ industries).
