Gaming and Artificial Intelligence Take Center Stage for NVIDIA

Graphics processor maker NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) recently reported its second-quarter fiscal 2019 results, with some fantastic outcomes. The company's total sales were up 40% from the year-ago quarter to $3.12 billion, which outpaced analysts' consensus estimate of $3.10 billion. NVIDIA's earnings of $1.76 per share also surpassed Wall Street's expectations of $1.66 per share and were up 91% year over year. Management has done a fantastic job of growing the company's top line, and the second quarter was no exception -- sales from the company's data center, gaming, professional visualization, and automotive segments all set records. To understand NVIDIA's growth and what investors can expect in the months ahead, we have to look beyond the numbers, though.
