人工智能芯片制造商英伟达(Nvidia)在周三公布财报时表示,第二季度没有来自中国的H20芯片销售收入,当季营收略高于华尔街预期。

财报业绩虽然证实了对人工智能基础设施的需求依旧强劲,但仍未能令投资者满意。作为全球市值最高的公司,英伟达股价在周三晚间的盘后交易中下跌了4%,至约175美元。

Info-Tech研究集团(Info-Tech Research Group)顾问研究员斯科特·比克利在财报电话会议前对《财富》表示:“(股价波动)大概只是对一个‘一般般’的数据的初步反应。我们居然将一个季度467亿美元的营收视为‘一般般’,这未免太荒唐了。”

Visible Alpha收集的数据显示,英伟达第二季度营收较去年同期增长了56%,达到467.4亿美元,高于华尔街预期的465.2亿美元。净利润为264亿美元,较上季度的187.8亿美元增长40.8%。摊薄后每股收益为1.08美元,超过第二季度1.02美元的预期。毛利率升至72.4%,较上季度的61%有了大幅提升。

自今年4月以来,英伟达一直面临针对H20芯片对华出口的贸易限制。美国政府自7月起开始向部分获批的中国买家发放许可证,英伟达表示少数中国客户已获得相关许可。但英伟达表示,第二季度财报中并未包含任何来自中国的H20芯片营收。(英伟达指出,第二季度有部分H20芯片库存销往了中国以外的地区,为营收带来1.8亿美元的增量。)

本月早些时候,特朗普政府宣布了相关计划,允许英伟达及其竞争对手超威半导体(AMD)向获批的中国买家出售特定人工智能芯片,而美国政府将从销售收入中抽取15%的分成。但英伟达表示,目前尚未有任何实质性进展。

英伟达首席财务官科莱特·克雷斯(Colette Kress)在财报电话会议上表示:“迄今为止,美国政府尚未公布任何将此类要求制度化的法规。”

英伟达表示,当前季度的财务预期中未计入H20芯片,但如果“地缘政治”问题得到解决,预计价值20亿至50亿美元的H20芯片将有望出口至中国。公司同时再次呼吁美国政府允许其向中国销售更先进的“Blackwell”系列产品。

首席执行官黄仁勋在财报公告中谈及全球数据中心正在采用的下一代人工智能芯片时表示:“Blackwell Ultra的产能正在全速提升,需求极为强劲。人工智能竞赛已经拉开帷幕,而Blackwell正是这场竞赛的核心平台。”

英伟达数据中心业务营收占据公司主营业务的主要部分,同比增长56%,环比增长5%,达到411亿美元。其汽车与机器人业务板块增速最快,同比增长69%。

思博瑞投资管理公司(Allspring Global Investments)在其部分基金中持有英伟达股份。思博瑞高级投资组合经理兼成长型股票投资团队负责人迈克尔·史密斯对《财富》表示:“市场预期已经极高,但英伟达再次超越了预期。随着Blackwell产能爬坡,利润率不断上升;在出口管制措施实施之后,中国依然存在着巨大的未被开发的机遇;而600亿美元的股票回购,则是在创纪录自由现金流背景下的额外利好消息。”(*)

Nvidia recorded no China sales revenue for H20 chips and reported revenue that narrowly beat Wall Street targets in the second quarter, as the AI chipmaker reported financial results on Wednesday.

The results, while confirming that demand for AI infrastructure remains solid, left investors underwhelmed and shares of Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, declined 4% to around the $175 mark in extended trading Wednesday evening.

“[The stock movements are] probably just an initial reaction to a so-so number,” Scott Bickley, an advisory fellow at Info-Tech Research Group, told Fortune before the earnings call. “Which is kind of insane that we’re viewing $46.7 billion in a quarter as ‘so-so,’” he said.

Nvidia’s revenue increased 56% from the same period a year ago to $46.74 billion, exceeding Wall Street’s projection of $46.52 billion, per data compiled by Visible Alpha. Profits came in at $26.4 billion, a 40.8% increase from $18.78 billion last quarter. Nvidia posted diluted earnings per share at $1.08, beating projections of $1.02 for the second quarter. Nvidia’s gross margins grew to 72.4%, up significantly from 61% last quarter.

Nvidia has been navigating trade restrictions on H20 shipments to China since April. The U.S. government began issuing licenses for approved buyers in China in July, and Nvidia said a few of its China-based customers had received such licenses. But no H20 chip revenue to China was included in its second-quarter revenue, Nvidia said (It noted that some H20 chip inventory was sold outside of China in the second quarter, adding a $180 million benefit to the topline).

While the Trump administration announced plans earlier this month to allow Nvidia and AMD, a rival chipmaker, to sell certain AI chips to approved Chinese buyers while giving the U.S. government a 15% cut of the proceeds, Nvidia said nothing concrete has yet come of it.

“To date the USG has not publicized a regulation codifying such requirement,” CFO Colette Kress said on the company’s earnings call.

Nvidia said it was not including H20 in its financial forecast for the current quarter, though it estimated that $2 billion to $5 billion worth of H20 chips could be shipped to China if “geopolitical” issues were resolved. The company also repeated its call for the U.S. government to allow it to sell its more advanced “Blackwell” generation of products to China.

“Production of Blackwell Ultra is ramping at full speed, and demand is extraordinary,” CEO Jensen Huang said of the tech behemoth’s next-generation AI chip, which is used in data centers globally, in the earnings release. “The AI race is on, and Blackwell is the platform at its center.”

Nvidia’s datacenter revenue, which accounts for the bulk of its business, grew 56% year-over-year, and 5% sequentially, to $41.1 billion. The company’s automotive and robotics segment grew the most at 69% year over year.

“Expectations were sky-high, but Nvidia exceeded them again,” Michael Smith, senior portfolio manager and head of the growth equity team at Allspring Global Investments, told Fortune. Allspring owns Nvidia in some of its funds. “Margins are rising as Blackwell ramps; China remains a massive untapped opportunity post–export controls; and a $60 billion buyback is an extra sweetener amid record free cash flow.”
