Nvidia topped first-quarter earnings expectations but cut its second-quarter outlook, citing an $8 billion blow from tighter U.S. export rules on AI chips to China.
Nvidia beat Wall Street expectations for its fiscal first-quarter earnings but forecast second-quarter revenue below estimates, citing an expected $8 billion sales hit from tightened U.S. restrictions on AI chip exports to China.
Despite the outlook, shares of the world’s most valuable semiconductor firm rose 3% in extended trading. The stock remains mostly flat for the year, a sharp contrast to 2024 when it nearly tripled in value.
Nvidia now faces tougher U.S. trade restrictions that limit what it can sell to China, one of the largest semiconductor markets. The company had previously estimated a $5.5 billion charge from halted H20 chip exports to China, but the actual impact was $1 billion lower in the first quarter due to reused materials. Nvidia lost $2.5 billion in H20 sales during the quarter and expects an $8 billion shortfall in the current quarter.
On an adjusted basis, Nvidia earned 81 cents per share in Q1. Excluding export-related charges, earnings would have been 96 cents—above the 93-cent analyst consensus, according to LSEG data.
For Q2, Nvidia projects revenue of $45 billion, plus or minus 2%, slightly below the $45.9 billion average estimate.

Asian stocks plunged to their lowest level in more than two months on Tuesday as advances by Chinese chipmakers rattled investor confidence in the artificial intelligence boom, despite soaring global semiconductor sales.
