NVIDIA Warns H2 Margin Squeeze on Rising Memory, Optical Costs
NVDA sits 29% above its 52-week low of $164.27.
Summary
NVIDIA warns that rising memory and optical component costs will compress second-half gross margins, shifting focus from sales volume to procurement expenses. This follows a strong Q2 FY27 with revenue doubling to $96.2B and Data Center up 117%, but the margin warning introduces a new headwind. The company is also in discussions to anchor Anthropic's IPO, which could tie NVIDIA's demand to Anthropic's market debut. Additionally, NVIDIA chips have been selected for SpaceX orbital computing, with initial satellites targeted for 2027. The margin squeeze is the key near-term concern for traders, as it directly impacts profitability expectations.
At the time of this announcement, NVDA was trading at $212.04 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $5.1T. The 52-week trading range was $164.27 to $236.54. This news item was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 7 out of 10. Source: Wiseek News.
