Nvidia Corp. lost 7.5 percent, the most since August 2013, as the largest maker of chips for computer-graphics cards gave a forecast for second-quarter sales that fell short of analysts’ estimates, hurt by the persistent slump in PC demand.
 
Well that's not good because it paints a bad picture for the entire PC Industry. I hope that Windows 10, DX12, Hololens, and VR tech from various vendors jumpstarts the industry again.
 
Where did you get the 7.5% number? From what I read they simply missed analyst expectations. They are still profitable, with net revenue falling just 2% from a year ago to $134 million. Stock price is also up 12%. Sales were hurt by OEM PC demand, saying nothing about the discrete GPU market in the article.
 
If nVidia slumps, AMD slumps even badly. Does nto bode well for their upcoming series at all. But wait for Window 10 and we'll see both the companies sell a bunch of hardware.
 
If making a $100M+ profit is a "slump" then we should prepare a casket for AMD since it is always losing money each quarter.
 
Profits beat targets and they are up compared to the same quarter last year... just down from last quarter. So from my point of view they are on track for another record breaking year. They are doing better so far this year than they were last year at the same time.

Also... "Viewed from a segment perspective, GPU revenue was $940 million, up 5% year over year. "

it actually is quite a significant slump at 7.5% missing expectations
 
this is a prime example of why market analyst need to quit speculating...
 
Tech stocks are becoming too volatile, 7.5% in a day is quite a lot. Nvidia will pick the share price back up, all companies do, just look at what happened to YOKU recently. The stock market is a sham. :D

How would they be able to make money from stocks without all this speculating?

Joking aside, unless something really miraculous happens to PC market (something even greater than VR possibly), it will continue to shrink as long as Smartphone and tablet markets exist, and they most likely will, as they keep expanding without showing any signs of stoppage.

Unfortunately it is also solely responsible for the Smartphone and Tablet addiction here in Far East Asia, and laws are supporting it (EG it is illegal for teachers to confiscate smartphones in school). We are a very electronically rooted society (All of the big 3, and many more other brands. Acer, BenQ, Transcend, even SJH himself), and I definitely see the decline in PC market here.

If something revolutionary happens in PC market, it may be able to regain market share again, but unfortunately I really don't think VR is enough.
 
Oh no! A less than glowing report on nVidia financials and whats the faithfuls response? "Well AMD is worse." AMD's woes are irrelevant here. It was probably more to do with their cash cow, the GTX 970, getting the wind taken out of it's sales when everyone found out they'd been BS'd and lied to.
 
NVIDIA improves compared to last quarter last year and it's called a "slump"?

The 970 is small potatoes volume in comparison to units sold in their OEM and entry-level products, when looking at the bigger picture.

Except that NVIDIA announces earnings after AMD does, so ...

NVIDIA seems to recover after each of their earnings reports, and in this same call they announced an increased dividend. The problem is that their estimate is lower than the analyst expectations; they were even downgraded.

Comparing AMD with NVDA is absurd; one company turns a profit, one doesn't.

The slump in question is in stock price, not in earnings or profit. One company pays a dividend, one doesn't.

Hi guys I'm here for the daily reposting of Nvidia/AMD marketshare figures. Did I miss it? Last time I was late and somebody had eaten all the cookies.
See you tomorrow.

Unless you are claiming that AMD suddenly is expanding marketshare, I fail to see your point? ^^

unfortunately doesn't show same thing. Steam shows what is in use hence why you see GPUs 5 yrs old or more on the list. Peddie shows market sales and shipments which doesn't correlate to consumers that may buy on 3 yr schedules. Each have different impacts and show different market points.
