Nvidia (NVDA) posted better-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2027 results in Wednesday’s after-hours US trading, but the numbers failed to sway some high-expectation investors, sending its shares down 3% in extended trading. CFO Colette Kress followed up with bullish comments during an analyst call, projecting the company’s fiscal 2028 revenue would grow roughly 70%, versus analysts’ prior consensus estimate of 44%. Kress noted: “Incredibly, even at our current scale, demand is accelerating. Customer forecasts show growth will double next year. However, as I mentioned earlier, due to supply constraints, we expect growth of around 70%.” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang added that the company has never provided earnings guidance a year in advance, and actual demand growth has surpassed 70%. While demand growth is approaching 100%, the 70% figure is based on the firm’s current supply capacity. Without supply limits, Nvidia’s fiscal 2028 outlook would be “much higher”. Nvidia’s shares later rose as much as 5% in after-hours trading.

Fed Governor Lisa Cook has again denied unsubstantiated mortgage fraud allegations repeatedly raised by former President Donald Trump, who is considering reviving efforts to oust her—a move that would likely spark another fierce legal battle over the Federal Reserve’s independence. In a letter to the White House on Wednesday, Cook’s lawyers called the allegations “baseless and untrue,” stating: “Governor Cook has never committed mortgage fraud or any intentional misconduct, and there is no legal basis for her removal from the Federal Reserve Board.” (Jin10)

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang commented in the company’s quarterly report that artificial intelligence (AI) has reached an inflection point. AI is now delivering truly useful work, with the tokens it generates driving productivity and profits. Today, computing power equals revenue, and demand is accelerating. This time last year, AI infrastructure development was primarily driven by a single AI lab. Today, we are in a golden age for new AI labs and startups. Multiple leading AI labs are scaling up simultaneously, the open model ecosystem is thriving, and physical AI is also moving toward practical application. The U.S. and the global market are both maintaining strong momentum. AI infrastructure development is advancing at full speed. Vera Rubin, which has now entered full production, was built precisely for this moment.
