Remarkable Quarterly Earnings
Since NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) started making strides towards the right direction, its shares shot up to more than $223. And its third-quarter 2020 earnings report also had a role to play in boosting its price.
During the quarter, the company posted revenue of $3.01 billion, which was down 5% year-over-year but up by approximately 17% quarter-over-quarter. The $3.01 billion revenue topped the consensus estimate of $2.91 billion and the company’s forecast of $2.96 billion. The returns were also promising as the earnings per share $1.78, representing a 3% year-over-year decline, but surpassing the $1.57 estimate.
