Nvidia sales up 265%, but China sales slow
Nvidia reported its fourth quarter results that beat expectations for profit and revenue, with the company predicting better results for the following quarter. The tech giant achieved such strong revenues thanks to its artificial intelligence business.

These chips are an integral part of its product portfolio, which now account for the majority of the company's revenue. Revenue from these chips grew an impressive 409% to $18.4 billion. Meanwhile, the gaming business, which previously dominated the company's sales, achieved "only" 56% year-on-year growth to $2.87 billion.
While $NVDAshares rose after the results, they also saw a minor decline. The reason for the decline was a significant slowdown in sales in China, which caused the stock to drop by about 2%. Still, all of the company's key data center areas delivered very solid sales, which beat analyst expectations , and the stock is up despite the slight decline. Thegaming business remains important to the company, with sales reaching 2.9 billion dalars, which also beat analyst expectations.
