Nvidia Puts 4Q Rev Higher Than Co, Street Views >NVDA
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Dow Jones)--Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) estimates fiscal fourth- quarter revenue above prior guidance and Wall Street expectations on brisk sales of its graphics processing unit products.
In a press release Tuesday, the computer-graphics chip maker put fourth- quarter revenue at $560 million to $570 million, above its prior projection of $ 516 million and the analyst mean estimate of $518.3 million, as tallied by Thomson First Call.
A year earlier, the company generated fourth-quarter revenue of $472.1 million.
Nvidia also boosted its guidance for fourth-quarter gross margin to 33.5% to 34.5% from a prior estimate of 33.3%, helped by a shift in the product mix to GeForce 6 graphics processing units and nForce 4 media and communications processors.
During the fourth quarter, the company said the success of its newly launched GeForce 6200 GPU drove share gains and revenue growth in the GeForce 6 GPU end of the business, offsetting an anticipated sequential revenue decline of $70 million from Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Xbox products for seasonal reasons. Nvidia supplied the graphics processor for the original Xbox system and announced in December that it was jointly developing the graphics chip for Sony Corp.'s next PlayStation videogame system.
Other units benefited from growing adoption of the nForce 4 media and communications processors and the ramp-up of the GoForce wireless processor.
The company will release earnings on Feb. 17 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
A company spokeswoman couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Shares in Nvidia changed hands in after-market trading at $24.78, up 6.1% from its close on Nasdaq. Shares closed on Nasdaq Tuesday at $23.35, up 43 cents, or 1.9%.
