## NVIDIA Reports Record Revenue, Stock Price Volatile After Hours

The market focused on NVIDIA (NVDA) as it announced its earnings after hours.

The company reported record fourth-quarter revenue of $68.127 billion, a 73% year-on-year increase, exceeding market expectations; adjusted earnings per share were $1.62, also beating expectations. Additionally, revenue from the data center business grew 75% year-on-year to $62.3 billion, but about half of the sales came from its largest hyperscale customers, raising concerns about concentrated demand and cyclical trading.
