Today’s biggest winners and losers in the stock market.
On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) soared in late trading after the chipmaker at the heart of the artificial intelligence boom gave a bullish sales outlook for 2028, easing concerns that an AI spending surge is losing momentum. “We expect to grow revenue by approximately 70% in fiscal 2028,” Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said during a post-earnings conference call. Analysts have projected a rise of about 45% for that year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Moreover, Nvidia would be growing even faster if it had access to more supplies, she said. “Incredibly, we are seeing demand acceleration even at our scale,” she said. “Customers’ forecasts point to our growth doubling next year.”
- Shares of Crowdstrike (CRWD) rose Wednesday on a strong financial report that saw it forecast revenue figures for the full year that exceeded analysts’ estimates, evidence that the cybersecurity industry continues to see demand driven by threats from artificial intelligence. Revenue for the third quarter will be as high as $1.53 billion, the Austin-based security software firm said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts, on average, estimated $1.52 billion, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company forecast annual revenue of $5.99 billion to $6.01 billion, ahead of estimates of $5.94 billion.
- Shares of Salesforce (CRM) soared in extended trading, after the software company gave an outlook for strong revenue expansion and deepened its partnership with Anthropic PBC, reassuring investors that it can compete successfully in the AI era. Sales will be about $11.5 billion in the fiscal third quarter, which ends in October, Salesforce said Wednesday in a statement. That’s just ahead of analysts’ average estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Current remaining performance obligations — a measure of future sales — will increase about 14%, also ahead of the average estimate of 13% growth.
