Five charts to start your day

I remember saving up all my pocket money to buy that graphics card. I had been building my new gaming PC for the past couple of months, meticulously selecting each component after extensive research. First, I purchased a motherboard, then an Intel Pentium III processor, along with a case, power supply, and a couple of gigabytes of hard drive space and RAM.

The last component I acquired was an Nvidia graphics card, and it was amazing. This marked the beginning of my decades-long relationship with Nvidia as a company. Now, Nvidia has surpassed Intel by multiples – the once invincible microprocessor company.

On Wednesday night, Nvidia revealed its latest quarterly earnings and exceeded expectations. It reported a staggering $22.1 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a 22% increase from Q3 and a massive 265% increase year-over-year (see chart below). Overall, the company has experienced a significant rise in revenues over the past three quarters, as shown in the chart below.
