NVIDIA Reports Strong Q2 Results but Stock Dips on Data-Center Miss

August 27, 2025 - In after-hours trading following market close on Wednesday, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) released its fiscal second-quarter earnings, posting robust top-line and bottom-line figures yet seeing its shares slip on a slight shortfall in data-center revenue.

NVIDIA reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.05, beating Wall Street’s $1.01 estimate, on revenue of $46.7 billion, marginally above the consensus of $46.2 billion. The company’s data-center segment generated $41.1 billion, a 56 percent year-over-year increase but just under analysts’ $41.29 billion forecast.

To return capital to investors, NVIDIA expanded its stock-repurchase program by $60 billion, underscoring confidence in its growth trajectory even as the data-center miss tempered sentiment. Management provided third-quarter revenue guidance of $54 billion, plus or minus 2 percent, exceeding the $53.4 billion analysts had predicted.

Following the earnings release, NVIDIA’s stock fell approximately 3 percent in extended trading, reflecting investor focus on the narrowly missed data-center target despite the company’s overall beat.

The results come as NVIDIA continues to be viewed as a barometer for the AI-driven tech rally, with its data-center chips powering leading cloud providers and enterprise AI deployments. Investors will look to the upcoming earnings call for further insights into chip demand, supply-chain dynamics, and the impact of export restrictions on future revenue.
