NVIDIA today reported revenue for the third quarter ended Oct. 28, 2018, of $3.18 billion, up 21 percent from $2.64 billion a year earlier, and up 2 percent from $3.12 billion in the previous quarter. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $1.97, up 48 percent from $1.33 a year ago and up 12 percent from $1.76 in the previous quarter. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $1.84, up 38 percent from $1.33 a year earlier and down 5 percent from $1.94 in the previous quarter.

"AI is advancing at an incredible pace across the world, driving record revenues for our datacenter platforms," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Our introduction of Turing GPUs is a giant leap for computer graphics and AI, bringing the magic of real-time ray tracing to games and the biggest generational performance improvements we have ever delivered.



"Our near-term results reflect excess channel inventory post the crypto-currency boom, which will be corrected. Our market position and growth opportunities are stronger than ever. During the quarter, we launched new platforms to extend our architecture into new growth markets - RAPIDS for machine learning, RTX Server for film rendering, and the T4 Cloud GPU for hyperscale and cloud."

Capital Return
During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, NVIDIA returned $1.13 billion to shareholders through a combination of $855 million in share repurchases and $273 million in quarterly cash dividends.

In November 2018, the board of directors authorized an additional $7 billion under the company's share repurchase program for a total of $7.94 billion available through the end of December 2022.

NVIDIA announced a 7 percent increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.16 per share from $0.15 per share, to be paid with its next quarterly cash dividend on December 21, 2018, to all shareholders of record on November 30, 2018.

NVIDIA intends to return an additional $3 billion to shareholders by the end of fiscal 2020, which may begin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

NVIDIA's outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 is as follows:
  • Revenue is expected to be $2.70 billion, plus or minus 2 percent.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 62.3 percent and 62.5 percent, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $915 million and $755 million, respectively.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP other income and expense are both expected to be income of approximately $21 million.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates are both expected to be 8 percent, plus or minus 1 percent, excluding any discrete items. GAAP discrete items include excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to stock-based compensation, which are expected to generate variability on a quarter by quarter basis.
Third Quarter Fiscal 2019 Highlights
Since its second quarter earnings release, NVIDIA has achieved progress in these areas:

Company-wide
  • Launched the revolutionary NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture, with new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and new Tensor Cores for AI inferencing.
  • Drew nearly 13,000 attendees to GPU Technology Conferences in Munich, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Washington, following events in San Jose and Taipei. The company expects 30,000 total GTC attendees this year, up more than 30 percent from 2017.
Datacenter
  • Announced that the new TOP500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers shows a 48 percent jump over last year in the number of systems using NVIDIA GPU accelerators, climbing to 127, including the fastest in the world, No. 1 in the U.S., No. 1 in Europe and No. 1 in Japan.
  • Introduced RAPIDS , an open-source GPU-acceleration platform for data science and machine learning, with broad adoption from industry leaders including Dell EMC, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Oracle and SAP.
  • Launched the NVIDIA T4 Cloud GPU and NVIDIA TensorRT Hyperscale Inference Platform to deliver advanced acceleration for voice, video, image and recommendation services in hyperscale datacenters. Within the first two months of its launch, the T4 received the fastest adoption of any server GPU, featuring in 57 separate designs from leading computer makers, and availability on Google Cloud Platform.
  • Launched the NVIDIA RTX Server, opening a new market to GPUs for photo-real rendering in the datacenter.
  • Unveiled the NVIDIA Clara platform, which brings AI to the next generation of medical instruments as a powerful tool for early detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease.

750mm2 GPU at $1200 is quite a bargain. I didn't expect this outcome.

I get the point, but we shouldn't have to pay for the complexity of the physical specifics of a product but rather the practical application, in this case performance.

Golden age for tech companies.

Prices increase by 50%+ and people still buy everything no matter what.

I guess americans have too much money (because majority of money comes from USA)

It actually comes from China... Both the money and the product.
We borrow money that our Great great grandkids will be responsible to pay back so we can buy overpriced graphics cards today..

I think you'll find a lot of Americans are offended by that gross misstatement. I'm not even one and I am. Companies and corporations have the wealth, the individuals generally toil away to just get by.

Don't be so short sighted with silly comments.

not surprised
considering they are charging 85% more for their flagship gpu and people are still buying them...

why people are buying a card that only offers 30% improvement while costing 85% more is way beyond my comprehension

There's an old phrase that comes to mind that fits this situation nicely... A fool and his (or her) money are soon parted.

I'm an American and I refuse to buy these overpriced pieces of garbage.

Some people are willing to pay whatever the price for the latest shiny. A LOT of people, as it turns out. Just like the $1000 FX-50 processors and pentium Ds of yesteryear, or the super expensive geforce 8800 GPUs.

As an american, let me tell you, there are a LOT of Americans that fit that bill. People that work for just above minimum wage, "toiling away just to get by" as you put it, who still own $1000 iphones, or owe more on their car then it was worth new. so many people pay ridiculous prices for basic things, like $1000 phones, $2000 macbooks, $80000 trucks and $50000 cars, all while racking up debt like interest rates dont exist.

Of course, this is not unique to america either. There are plenty of people the world over that outspend what they bring in.

Nah don't lump us all in there man - I'm in America, and I have a ton of $, but I won't buy the 2080 Ti cards. Period. The pricing scheme is offensive to me. I will not buy it. It's about $450 overpriced per unit.

I'm glad to see NVidia's stock tanking hardcore. Had always been a fan up until this latest Turing pricing scheme. Now I hope they struggle. It's a shame AMD / ATI can't get competitive.

Nice - glad to see 'em tanking.

Thing I have a hard time believing is that they're struggling to move their excess Pascal GPUs - I mean Turing sales are going to be lower because of the pricing automatically. I would think anyone with a 900-series card or older, would jump at the opportunity to grab Pascal cards if they're priced well, but maybe that's the issue - are the Pascal cards marked up in price to ridiculous amounts like Turing? If so, then NVidia are just their own worst enemies. Turing is marked up into a price range that not many folks are going venture into even if they can afford it.

Nvidia is funny. The FED monetary policy is expansionary, and Nvidia is swimming in cash, FED monetary policy is constrictionary and they cannot even move stock...
All the while it was my understanding was that research, not fool's gold, was a company's lasting wealth... Nice to see them served well, having teamed with the likes of Goldman Sachs.
