Market Concerns - Nvidia's stock fell over 5% in after-hours trading following the earnings report, attributed to the data center business's underperformance and conservative Q3 guidance [4]. - The lack of a strategy to address sales challenges in the Chinese market raised concerns among investors, particularly regarding the H20 chip, which saw a $4 billion reduction in sales due to U.S. government restrictions [4][5]. Future Outlook - Nvidia's Q3 revenue forecast does not include any income from AI chip sales in China, indicating a conservative approach due to ongoing regulatory issues [5]. - The CFO mentioned that if regulatory issues are resolved, Q3 H20 chip revenue could reach $2-5 billion, but analysts expressed skepticism about this optimistic outlook [6].
