Nvidia beat Wall Street expectations in its quarterly earnings report on Wednesday, marking another in a string of financial wins for the computer hardware giant. It reported 44.1bn in revenue in the quarter ending in April, up 69% from the previous year. The company exceeded investors' predictions of 43.3bn in revenue. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 0.81, under investor expectations of an adjusted earnings per share of 88 cents. The company also reported 39.1bn in data center revenue, up 73% from the year prior.

Salesforce, the world's largest provider of cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) services, uses its AI platform Einstein to analyze trends and provide data-driven predictions. UiPath's robotic process automation (RPA) platform automates repetitive office tasks -- such as managing inventories, processing invoices, onboarding customers, and entering large amounts of data -- to reduce an organization's dependence on human employees. But over the past 12 months, Salesforce's stock declined 14% as UiPath's stock plunged 53%. Let's see why both stocks lost their luster, and if either one is a good turnaround play for 2023 and beyond. Salesforce expects its revenue to rise 17% in fiscal 2023, cooling from its 25% growth in fiscal 2022, as its adjusted EPS rises 3%. Its growth is decelerating as the macro headwinds force many companies to rein in their spending on big software deals.

Investors and analysts are starting to push beyond the hype about artificial intelligence and ask more questions about AI software companies' near-term growth prospects. Professional service and software providers including Palantir Technologies Inc., C3.ai Inc. and Veritone Inc. market themselves as AI companies with high growth potential, offering services to enhance enterprise analytical capabilities in sectors like cybersecurity and telecommunications. But amid a tech market downturn, these companies are struggling to convince Wall Street they can withstand the pressures of a weakened macroeconomic environment. "We believe chunky data analytics projects are more likely to be put on hold in a weaker growth environment," Goldman Sachs analysts said in a Nov. 8 note following Palantir's third-quarter 2022 earnings call. All three stocks have been hard-hit amid the broader sell-off in tech stocks in 2022, with Palantir and C3.ai both down about 59% year-to-date as of Nov. 23.

You know, I would start when I'm just starting with the digital transformation, if you think back to 2015, you know the world was talking about like every manufacturing company, you know, every non tech company was starting to understand that this was going to happen and we were either going to be conversant and proficient or we were going to be left in the dust and that's we felt that way about IOT, about aI machine learning and you know these things kind of came out so fast and became much more central to the mission, you know, and the sustainability of the company. So we kind of tackle digital as one big series of sub topics if you will, and Created a center of excellence with about 50 200 people at different times down in Atlanta and we had a segment for IOT and one for machine learning and data and analytics and that kind of grew over over the years and now we have hundreds of people working in these different areas, incorporating them into business models, but it's it's been a very progressive methodical effort over the last five or six years um and talk about some of you know what you have been tackling with, you know the ai that you were using machine learning, like what were some of the parts of the business that you were directing that towards? Well we we came upon 2017 and then 18 and 19 and we had some really significant headwinds from a business point of view that we're exogenous in nature, but we had tariffs, we had foreign exchange dollar strengthening and some early signs of inflation and those three things added up to a billion dollars Of margin impact, you know, in that in that time frame and we were going up against like 300 and 400 million a year of this, of this kind of headwind. And we were thinking well we've done all the traditional things from a value creation and the cost take out that we would normally have done over the years. And we got the idea that let's harness the energy of this digital transformation center and directed at all the value pools of the company and we said let's go find a billion dollars, you know, maybe like 100 250 a year to offset some of these things.

Investors in NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) had a rough 2018. Last year, the stock fell a highly unpleasant 31% (including dividends). Still, over the past three years, the stock is up a whopping 450%. At roughly $150 per share at the time of this writing, NVIDIA now trades at a reasonable P/E ratio of 20, a discount to the market and the Nasdaq Composite index overall. The problem? NVIDIA's forward P/E is also 20, meaning the market doesn't believe the company will grow its earnings at all in the coming year.

High winds are one of the most common causes of flight delays and cancellations at airports, but new technology is now to put an end to the problem. Air traffic controllers at three of Britain's busiest airports are to adopt a new system that can automatically adjust the landing rate of aircraft depending on the wind conditions. Traditional landing procedures mean aircraft must be separated by a set distance when on approach to a runway. A new system that separates landing aircraft (pictured) by time rather than distance is to be introduced to Gatwick and Manchester Airports after a successful trial over the past year at Heathrow. Time-based separation replaces the old system of keeping large aircraft five nautical miles apart when they come into land.
