Nvidia didn't like Wall Street's estimates. So it tried to reset them.
Nvidia (NVDA) provided a long-term outlook, projecting 70% revenue growth for fiscal year 2028, exceeding analyst forecasts of 45%. The company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.22 on revenue of $96.2B, beating estimates. Nvidia's Data Center revenue was $89B, and Edge Computing revenue was $7.2B. The company expects Q3 revenue between $105.8B and $110.1B, above Wall Street's $105.1B estimate.
