Nvidia reported a 56% increase in second-quarter revenue Wednesday and a 59% rise in net income compared to a year ago. However, sales in its main data center division came in slightly below Wall Street estimates and the stock fell in after-hours trading.
Nvidia and other companies benefiting from the boom in artificial intelligence have been a major reason the S&P 500 has set a number of records this year.
