The come off hulk at the center of the artificial intelligence boom again beat expectations. But it didn’t overcome investor jitters.

Andrew here. Nvidia’s windfall from the A.I. Boom keeps growing — but is it enough to keep lifting the sector? We go behind the numbers.
And here’s a new wrinkle for prediction markets: Kalshi just brought its first enforcement actions over insider trading, which is most likely just the beginning. But that raises all sorts of questions about what constitutes inside trading on these platforms and whether anyone has the equivalent of a fiduciary duty. More below.
Nvidia, the North Star of the artificial intelligence boom, delivered another knockout quarter. Yet shares in the chipmaker are up only modestly in premarket trading on Thursday, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index looks set to open lower.
What gives? In previous quarters, a big beat by Nvidia lifted the entire A.I. Ecosystem. But investors appear to be acknowledging that the industry’s central player alone can no longer allay growing concerns about the sector.
Nvidia did its best to revive markets’ animal spirits. The company said that its most recent quarterly profit nearly doubled year-on-year, to $43 billion; revenue climbed 73 percent, to $68.1 billion. It has benefited from huge demand by tech giants, including Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI, for the chipmaker’s top-end A.I. Processors.
