Beating estimates of 24.6 billion on the figures that were expected for this quarter.
NVIDIA
Sales at the data center segment, its largest by revenue growing 127% year over year to 22.6 billion. Margins were metric investors were particularly attentive to. NVIDIA reporting first quarter adjusted gross margins of 78.9 beating estimates of 77%. To compare this competitor, AMD had recorded an adjusted margin of 52% in its fiscal first quarter. NVIDIA expects second quarter adjusted gross margins to be 75.5% plus or -50 basis points.
AMD
And the company says it will split its stock ten for one effective on the 7th of June. It's also raising its quarterly dividend by 150% to $0.01 per share the post-split basis. Take a look at the share price chart up at a record high of 106% so far this year at over 106.87. And that 10.1 stock split will make the stock far more appealing to the smaller investors in video shares up 5.9% in extended trade and following these results, we did see AMD at a bit of weight as well.
This is one of the companies that's really snapping at the heels of NVIDIA, that stock was up 2.4% in extended trading late last night on the energy platform.
