NVIDIA today reported revenue for the second quarter ended July 31, 2016, of $1.43 billion, up 24 percent from $1.15 billion a year earlier, and up 9 percent from $1.30 billion in the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $0.40, compared with $0.05 a year ago and up 21 percent from $0.33 in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.53, up 56 percent from $0.34 a year earlier and up 15 percent from $0.46 in the previous quarter.

"Strong demand for our new Pascal-generation GPUs and surging interest in deep learning drove record results," said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and chief executive officer, NVIDIA. "Our strategy to focus on creating the future where graphics, computer vision and artificial intelligence converge is fueling growth across our specialized platforms -- Gaming, Pro Visualization, Datacenter and Automotive."



"We are more excited than ever about the impact of deep learning and AI, which will touch every industry and market. We have made significant investments over the past five years to evolve our entire GPU computing stack for deep learning. Now, we are well positioned to partner with researchers and developers all over the world to democratize this powerful technology and invent its future," he said.

Capital Return
During the first half of fiscal 2017, NVIDIA paid $509 million in share repurchases and $124 million in cash dividends.

NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.115 per share on September 16, 2016, to all shareholders of record on August 25, 2016.

NVIDIA's outlook for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $1.68 billion, plus or minus two percent.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 57.8 percent and 58.0 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $530 million. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $465 million.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 are both expected to be 21 percent, plus or minus one percent.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $35 million to $45 million.
econd Quarter Fiscal 2017 Highlights

During the second quarter, NVIDIA achieved progress in each of its four major platforms:

Gaming:
  • Introduced the first four members of its Pascal family of gaming GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070, which have set records for speed and power efficiency; GTX 1060, which delivers immersive VR at strong value; and TITAN X, the most powerful consumer GPU ever built.
  • Released its first game, NVIDIA VR Funhouse, which uses enhanced graphics, interactive audio and simulated physics to bring a new level of immersion to VR.
  • Released NVIDIA Ansel, an in-game 360° capture tool, which enables gamers to take and share screenshots of their favorite in-game moments.
Professional Visualization:
  • Unveiled Quadro P6000 to power the most advanced workstations, enabling designers to manipulate complex designs up to twice as fast as before.
  • Introduced in partnership with SMI an innovative rendering technique that uses eye tracking to enable developers to create more immersive VR environments.
  • Refreshed NVIDIA DesignWorks and NVIDIA VRWorks with new SDKs and updates that bring developers enhanced capabilities for interactive ray tracing, 360° video stitching and streaming and physically based materials.
Datacenter:
  • Opened the path to virtualizing all enterprise applications with Tesla M10, providing the industry's highest user density.
  • Introduced Tesla P100 GPU accelerator for PCI Express-based servers, delivering substantial performance and value compared with CPU-based systems.
  • Unveiled its Inception Program which provides access to NVIDIA technology and expertise to support the growth of startups driving breakthroughs in deep learning and data science.
Automotive:
  • Initiated collaborative research in advanced self-driving technology with New York University's pioneering deep learning team.

I guess that means no Pascal price drops anytime soon. :/

Just buy one, i wont regret it.

I surely didn't with my upgrade from a 680 to 1070.
 
Yup, if you can afford it just buy one, I have no regrets either buying a GTX1070 :D
 
Another record quarter, nVidia are on a roll.
 
Well, with results like that no wonder they continue to price their cards so high. :ohwell:

Roll on better competition from AMD.
 
Shouldn't the title be 2016 instead of 2017? :|

There's no mistake about it. Nvidia is a well managed profitable business with happy shareholders.
 
I guess you're right. If their 2nd quarter ended July 31 then their 4th quarter would end Jan 31 2017.

Usually when I'm referring to a fiscal year I say fiscal year 2016-2017 when it's not based on the calendar year Jan-Dec of a year. That's the way financial statement releases are usually done too.
 
Looks like a good investment option. Buying some nvidia shares now :D :D

That is the dumbest thing I discovered today. :roll:

Why would they? NV increased prices close to 2-fold across every single tier of GPUs compared to Fermi and prior generations. As consumers, we just experienced a $349 Tier GTX570 move up to a $649 GTX980Ti level and now that card turned into a magical $1200 Titan XP. $200-250 GTX460/560/560Ti level became $450-700 1070/1080. Every astute student of the GPU industry knows it but most gamers are ignorant to the facts and refuse to admit it. NV's marketing geniuses need another raise/bonus for the mind-blowing work they have done in the last 4 years fooling the masses. Even Kepler, historically the inflection point for NV's new marketing BS now looks like a "good value" generation. Back then a $299 GTX660Ti easily outperformed the GTX580 (Maxwell Titan X), but now NV charges $400-450 for a GTX1070 that is only about as fast vs. the Titan X as the 660Ti was relative to the GTX580.

Looks like a good investment option. Buying some nvidia shares now :D :D

Cannot wait for a cut-down $799 GTX1080Ti - still an amazing deal compared to the $650-700 mid-range 1080. The GTX1060 3GB GIMP should sell like hot cakes to noobs! Fingers crossed NV shares go up to $70 so that we can all get free GTX1080Tis on the house.;)

Why? I used to be an independent contractor and my Fiscal Year started in July. It made sense tax-wise, work-wise (didn't have much work in June/July) and I started the company in August.
A Fiscal Year is a construction, which is also why some companies push expenses to the next Fiscal Year...it can give them gains in share value, tax deductions or simply better PR.

Was. Bought a year ago you would have tripled your money. Same for AMD... interesting, eh? You won't be tripling your money on either in the next year though. IMO there is a fair amount of irrational exuberance in the price of both stocks.

My thoughts too. Investing in stocks is a gamble. It's like a Las Vegas Casino. Better to put you're hard earned cash into a decent Mutual Fund.
 
pascal year report.
