When Nvidia released its fiscal 2024 Q3 results a year ago, the stock fell thanks to concerns about the company’s business in China on account of restrictions by the U.S. government on exports to the country. The market overlooked the company’s better-than-expected results and impressive guidance at that time.

However, the next two quarterly reports gave Nvidia stock a nice boost as the company continued its string of healthy growth in revenue and earnings thanks to the solid demand for its AI graphics processing units (GPUs). However, when Nvidia released its previous quarterly results in August this year, investors seemingly took issue with the relatively slower pace of growth that the company reported.

It is worth noting that Nvidia’s revenue growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was a deceleration over the growth that it delivered in the previous three quarters. Of course, the company did more than double its revenue on a year-over-year basis, and its earnings also surged impressively, but Wall Street had gotten used to much stronger growth in its top and bottom lines by that time.
