NVIDIA just reported the company's Q1 2024 earnings results, and it appears to be good news for shareholders. The chip giant reported non-GAAP EPS of $1.09/share above consensus expectations of $0.92/share. Revenue of $7.2 billion also came in above estimates. NVIDIA also provided a very rosy Q2 2024 outlook, with the company now expecting $11 billion in sales. That's way above analyst Q2 2024 revenue expectations of $7.2 billion. Shares of NVIDIA are up 15% on the news.

Here are some highlights from the NVIDA Q1 2024 earnings release:

• Quarterly revenue of $7.19 billion, up 19% from previous quarter
• Record Data Center revenue of $4.28 billion
  • First-quarter Data Center revenue was a record $4.28 billion, up 14% from a year ago and up 18% from the previous quarter.
• Second quarter fiscal 2024 revenue outlook of $11.00 billion
• First-quarter Gaming revenue was $2.24 billion, down 38% from a year ago and up 22% from the previous quarter.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang added some additional commentary:

“The computer industry is going through two simultaneous transitions — accelerated computing and generative AI,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.

“A trillion dollars of installed global data center infrastructure will transition from general purpose to accelerated computing as companies race to apply generative AI into every product, service and business process.

“Our entire data center family of products — H100, Grace CPU, Grace Hopper Superchip, NVLink, Quantum 400 InfiniBand and BlueField-3 DPU — is in production. We are significantly increasing our supply to meet surging demand for them,” he said.

NVIDIA’s outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 is as follows:

• Revenue is expected to be $11.00 billion, plus or minus 2%.
• GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 68.6% and 70.0%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
