Nvidia's Market Cap Falls After Record Quarter
Nvidia's stock was up by around 1.4% during morning trading on Friday at around $121 per share, leaving the firm with a roughly $2.9 trillion market cap, despite delivering another record quarter with revenue of $39.3 billion for its fiscal fourth quarter — a 78% increase from the previous year, and above the consensus of $38.1 billion. However, unimpressed investors were left wanting more after the company's shares fell in early trading on Thursday. The chipmaker's track record of beating expectations may be working against it as the market seeks more substantial growth.
