Why Nvidia Shares Are Falling During Thursday's After-Hours Session

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA shares fell as much as 2.26% to $128.20 during Thursday's after-hours session after peer chipmaker AMD lowered its third-quarter sales guidance below analyst estimates.

What Happened?

AMD sees preliminary third quarter revenue of approximately $5.6 billion, lower than prior outlook of $6.7 billion plus or minus $200 million, primarily due to weaker Client segment revenue.

"The PC market weakened significantly in the quarter," said AMD Chair and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. "While our product portfolio remains very strong, macroeconomic conditions drove lower than expected PC demand and a significant inventory correction across the PC supply chain."

"As we navigate the current market conditions, we are pleased with the performance of our Data Center, Embedded, and Gaming segments and the strength of our diversified business model and balance sheet. We remain focused on delivering our leadership product roadmap and look forward to launching our next-generation 5nm data center and graphics products later this quarter," Su Stated.
