Nvidia stock jumped after the chipmaker reported its third quarter earnings on Wednesday, beating analysts' estimates on the top and bottom lines and offering a better-than-anticipated outlook.

For the fourth quarter, Nvidia projects revenue of $65 billion plus or minus 2%. Wall Street was expecting revenue of $62 billion.

“Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out,” CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement.

“We’ve entered the virtuous cycle of AI. The AI ecosystem is scaling fast - with more new foundation model makers, more AI startups, across more industries, and in more countries. AI is going everywhere, doing everything, all at once," he added.

Nvidia stock rose more than 5% after the news. Yahoo Finance reports.

🤖 First it was GPUs and electricity, now AI is eating up the memory industry

The AI data center explosion has set off worries about overbuilding, environmental concerns about water usage, and increased energy prices.

And now you can add a steep rise in the cost of important computer components to the list.

Prices for crucial parts, including dynamic random access memory, also referred to simply as memory, are steadily increasing as data center builders scramble to get their hands on them.

The problem comes down to the fact that both consumer computers and data centers use DRAM.

While consumer PCs and other systems use a type of DRAM called double data rate memory, data centers use high-bandwidth memory, often called HBM.

But because they both use DRAM, suppliers are focusing more on building HBM than DRAM, thanks to higher margins on data center parts. And that's starving the broader market. Yahoo Finance reports.


🥨 J&J Snack Foods not managing to recover

J&J Snack Foods reported its annual results yesterday. Over twelve years, revenue has doubled, but operating profit has merely stagnated; adjusted for inflation, it faces a critical erosion of profitability.

The group is dealing with a severe margin compression, hit by inflation on one side and a chronic inability to raise selling prices on the other.

Fortunately, the capital intensity of its business remains well under control.

The other structural weakness has been the poor return on its external growth initiatives.

Between 2013 and 2025, $350m was invested in acquisitions, so far without delivering any value creation. MarketScreener reports.


👖 Gap gains momentum ahead of earnings - is the rally sustainable?

This recent surge in stock price has analysts pondering whether this momentum can be sustained, particularly as the company gears up to report its next earnings today.

Analysts expect EPS of $0.59, down from $0.72 in the same quarter last year, indicating a year-over-year earnings decline.

Revenue is projected to reach $3.9 billion, reflecting a modest 1.97% sales growth.

Overall, forecasts point to slight top-line improvement but softer profitability compared to last year. AskTraders reports.
