The shares stood about 3% lower in recent trading, making them among the worst performers in the S&P 500.

Here is a roundup of some key items from Tuesday afternoon’s earnings report, versus forecasts from a FactSet survey of Wall Street analysts:

Net income of $9.24 billion, roughly 26% ahead of consensus.

GAAP earnings of $3.71 per share, or a 22% beat.

Nvidia anticipates revenue of about $20 billion this quarter, give or take 2%, versus Wall Street’s $18 billion forecast.

Nvidia’s stock has surged amid euphoria over artificial intelligence, more than tripling this year and hitting a record close on Monday.

The rise of Nvidia, one of the so-called Magnificent Seven big tech firms, has helped power this year’s gains in the S&P 500.
