Nvidia’s Quarterly Forecast Disappoints Some Investors Despite Strong Growth

Nvidia’s Quarterly Forecast Disappoints Some Investors Despite Strong Growth

Nvidia’s latest quarterly forecast fell short of the high expectations set by investors, who have been fueling a significant rally in its stock price, betting heavily on the future of generative artificial intelligence (AI). The chipmaker’s shares dropped by 6% in after-hours trading, pulling down other chipmakers’ stocks as well. Although Nvidia reported impressive growth and profits, the results were considered mixed by some market analysts.

Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, summed up the situation: “The size of the beat this time was much smaller than we’ve been seeing.” He noted that while Nvidia did raise its future guidance, it wasn’t by the same margin as in previous quarters. “This is a great company that is still growing revenue at 122%, but it appears the bar was just set a tad too high this earnings season,” Detrick added.

While the company’s revenue and gross margin forecasts for the current quarter were in line with analysts’ expectations, they didn’t live up to its recent history of outperforming Wall Street targets. This overshadowed a strong performance in the second quarter, which included a $50 billion share buyback.

For the past three consecutive quarters, Nvidia achieved revenue growth exceeding 200%. However, as each quarter’s success prompts Wall Street to raise expectations even higher, the company faces increasing pressure to continue its streak of surpassing estimates.

Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, emphasized the ongoing strong demand for the company’s high-performance graphics processors, which are central to generative AI technologies like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “You have more on more on more,” he told analysts, describing the growing demand during a conference call.

Huang also confirmed that the production of Nvidia’s next-generation Blackwell chips has been delayed until the fourth quarter, but downplayed the potential impact, noting that customers are eagerly buying the current-generation Hopper chips. Nvidia is already shipping samples of Blackwell chips to its partners and expects these chips to generate several billion dollars in revenue by the fourth quarter.

The news caused shares of other chipmakers, such as Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom, to drop nearly 4%, while Asian chipmakers like SK Hynix and Samsung also saw declines of 4.5% and 2.8%, respectively, in Thursday morning trading in Asia.

Investor Jitters Over Generative AI Payoffs

A lot is riding on Nvidia’s outlook, as its stock has surged more than 150% this year, adding $1.82 trillion to its market value and lifting the S&P 500 to new highs. However, if the after-hours losses continue, Nvidia could lose $175 billion in market value.

The forecast has raised fresh concerns about slower returns from investments in generative AI. Some investors worry this could prompt tech giants to reconsider the billions of dollars they are spending on data centers. Such concerns have already impacted the AI market rally in recent weeks.

Nvidia’s biggest customers—Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms—are expected to spend more than $200 billion on capital expenditures in 2024, primarily on building AI infrastructure. Shares of these companies dipped slightly in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

Jacob Bourne, an analyst at eMarketer, noted, “It’s a reflection of growing investor jitters about the long-term viability of the generative AI market, with the entire market seemingly hinging on Nvidia’s performance.”

Regulatory Scrutiny Adds to Nvidia’s Challenges

Nvidia is also under regulatory scrutiny regarding its business practices. In its recent quarterly filing, the company disclosed that it had received requests for information from regulators in the U.S. and South Korea about its sales of GPUs, efforts to allocate supply, foundation models, and investments and partnerships with companies developing foundation models. Previously, inquiries were only noted from the EU, UK, and China.

Last month, Reuters reported that France’s antitrust regulator was preparing to charge Nvidia with alleged anticompetitive practices. Additionally, a media report suggested that U.S. regulators were investigating whether Nvidia was bundling its networking equipment with its highly sought-after AI chips.

Financial Performance Remains Strong

Despite these challenges, Nvidia’s financial performance remains robust. The company expects an adjusted gross margin of 75%, plus or minus 50 basis points, for the third quarter, aligning closely with analysts’ forecasts of 75.5%. In the second quarter, Nvidia reported a gross margin of 75.7%, slightly above the average estimate of 75.8%. Its margins continue to outshine those of competitors like AMD, which reported an adjusted margin of 53% for its fiscal second quarter.

For the third quarter, Nvidia forecasts revenue of $32.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, compared to the analysts’ average estimate of $31.77 billion. The company’s second-quarter revenue reached $30.04 billion, surpassing estimates of $28.70 billion. Excluding certain items, Nvidia earned 68 cents per share in the second quarter, beating the forecasted 64 cents.

Notably, sales in Nvidia’s data center segment grew 154% to $26.3 billion in the second quarter, exceeding estimates of $25.15 billion, and increasing 16% from the first quarter. Nvidia also generates revenue by selling chips to gaming and automotive companies.

Telegram Faces Potential Ban in India Amidst Extortion and Gambling Probe

Telegram Faces Potential Ban in India Amidst Extortion and Gambling Probe

Telegram, the popular messaging app with over 5 million users in India, is under scrutiny as the Indian government investigates its role in alleged criminal activities, including extortion and gambling. Both the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology have launched a joint probe into the app’s peer-to-peer communications, raising concerns about its future in the country.

An official, speaking to Moneycontrol, revealed that the investigation is specifically focused on Telegram’s potential involvement in these illegal activities. As of now, Telegram has not issued any public statement regarding the ongoing probe.

This development in India follows recent actions in France, where Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, was arrested in Paris. French authorities have been investigating the app’s moderation policies, or lack thereof, which they believe may enable criminal activities to go undetected.

In response to these global concerns, a PTI report indicated that India’s IT Ministry has requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to review any pending complaints against Telegram and determine what actions, if any, should be taken. However, the IT Ministry has clarified that it is not directly involved in the investigation, as its focus is primarily on cybersecurity, not criminal activities.

The key question now is whether there are similar issues in India as those identified in France and what steps the government might take in response. The outcome of the ongoing investigation will be crucial in determining Telegram’s future in India.

SEBI Bars Anil Ambani and 24 Entities from Securities Market for Fund Diversion

Leave a comment

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has imposed a five-year ban on industrialist Anil Ambani and 24 other entities, including former key officials of Reliance Home Finance Ltd (RHFL), from participating in the securities market. This action follows the discovery of fund diversion from the company.

In addition to the market ban, SEBI has levied a penalty of Rs 25 crore on Ambani. The regulator has also prohibited him from serving as a director or Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) in any listed company or any intermediary registered with SEBI for the next five years. The total penalties imposed on Ambani and the other 24 entities amount to over Rs 625 crore.

Following the SEBI order, shares of Anil Ambani’s group companies experienced significant declines on the stock exchanges. Reliance Power dropped by 5%, Reliance Infrastructure by 10.4%, and RHFL by 4.90%.

SEBI’s investigation revealed that substantial funds were misappropriated under the leadership of Anil Ambani and other key figures at RHFL. The investigation concluded that these entities were involved in a fraudulent scheme that violated securities laws and undermined investor trust.

The SEBI order, signed by Whole Time Member Ananth Narayan G, stated, “Investigation in the matter has concluded that the Noticees were involved in perpetrating a fraudulent scheme by disbursing general purpose working capital (GPC) loans resulting in erosion of the company’s finances due to such loans eventually being declared NPA.”

According to SEBI, the findings confirmed the existence of a fraudulent scheme orchestrated by Noticee No. 2 (Anil Ambani) and carried out by the KMPs of RHFL. The scheme involved diverting funds from the publicly listed company by structuring them as loans to uncreditworthy borrowers, who were later found to be associated with Ambani.

SEBI’s detailed order outlined the roles of each entity involved in the fund diversion. The investigation revealed that the KMPs of RHFL structured loans to unworthy conduits and onward borrowers closely linked to the promoters, raising serious concerns about the misuse of company funds.

The fraudulent loans, disbursed as general-purpose working capital loans, led to a significant erosion of RHFL’s finances. SEBI noted, “Most of the GPCL borrowers’ accounts turned into NPAs and as a consequence of the same, RHFL defaulted in its payment obligations towards its lenders which has culminated in its Resolution under RBI Framework. As a result, the company’s public shareholders have been left high and dry.”

The order also pointed out that KMPs of the company, identified as Noticees 3 to 5, played active roles in executing the fraudulent scheme. While Anil Ambani was not a director at RHFL, he used his position as Chairperson of the ADA group and his significant indirect shareholding in RHFL’s holding company to orchestrate the fraud, negatively impacting RHFL’s stakeholders and undermining confidence in the governance of regulated financial sector entities.

SEBI further disclosed that as of September 30, 2021, the entire outstanding GPCL lending of INR 6931.31 crore had been classified as NPA. RHFL reported that these loans were secured against tangible and intangible assets. However, SEBI’s investigation revealed that these loans were secured against negligible current assets of borrowers who were connected to the promoter group.

Bharti Enterprises Acquires 24.5% Stake in BT for £3.2 Billion

Leave a comment

Summary:

  • Bharti buys 9.99% stake in BT.
  • No plans to fully acquire BT.
  • Altice sells to reduce debt.
  • BT shares rise 6%.
  • Drahi spent £4.2B on BT stake.

 

Bharti Enterprises Acquires 24.5% Stake in BT for £3.2 Billion

Bharti Enterprises announced plans to acquire a 24.5% stake in British telecommunications giant BT Group, valued at £3.2 billion ($4 billion). This strategic move involves buying out Patrick Drahi, BT’s largest shareholder, as his Altice group accelerates asset sales to mitigate its $60 billion debt.

 

Sunil Bharti Mittal, the billionaire founder of Bharti, positions his conglomerate as a pivotal strategic shareholder in BT. Under the leadership of new CEO Allison Kirkby, BT aims to rejuvenate its share value by targeting increased profits following years of stringent cost reductions.

Operating under the Bharti Airtel brand across 17 countries in South Asia and Africa, Bharti clarified on Monday that it has no intentions of pursuing a full acquisition of BT. The company expressed strong support for BT’s executive team and its ambitious transformation agenda, particularly its efforts to expand the UK’s fiber network.

Patrick Drahi, a Franco-Israeli billionaire renowned for debt-driven acquisitions in the telecom and cable sectors, initially invested approximately £4.2 billion for his 24.5% stake in BT between 2021 and 2023, based on Reuters’ estimates.

Market Reaction and Strategic Implications

Following the announcement, BT’s shares surged 6% to 139 pence in early trading. This development also serves as an early indicator of the new Labour government’s stance on foreign investments in critical sectors.

Bharti confirmed the acquisition of a 9.99% stake and awaits national security clearance from the government before finalizing the remaining 14.51%. “BT, in my view, has a promising future ahead and should pursue its strategy even more assertively,” Mittal remarked to reporters.

He emphasized that the investment, estimated at £3.2 billion based on current share prices, is a long-term commitment rather than a short-term market play. Mittal also revealed that Bharti had been monitoring BT for some time and engaged with its management in recent months.

While BT’s shares have climbed 24% over the past six months, reflecting progress in its fiber infrastructure rollout, they have declined 72% since 2015. Other notable shareholders include Deutsche Telekom with a 12% stake and Mexican magnate Carlos Slim, who acquired a 3.2% stake in June. Kirkby, BT’s CEO since February, hailed Bharti’s investment as a “great vote of confidence” in the company’s strategy.

Analysts at Deutsche Bank noted that the new shareholder alleviates concerns stemming from Drahi’s potential asset sales and highlighted opportunities for further collaboration between BT and Bharti.

Governance and Future Outlook

In 2021, Drahi’s investment in BT’s critical infrastructure raised alarms, prompting government assurances of intervention if necessary. Bharti underscored its confidence in the UK’s stable business and policy environment, alluding to the nation’s political stability under the new government.

Reflecting on historical ties, Bharti pointed out BT’s previous 21% stake in Bharti Airtel from 1997 to 2001. Regarding governance, Mittal stated that Bharti has not sought a board seat but mentioned having some “ideas” for management.

Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s Richest Man, Continues Salary Sacrifice for Fourth Year: A Strategic Move for Shared Prosperity

Leave a comment

Mukesh Ambani Foregoes Salary Amid COVID-19 Legacy

 

 

Mukesh Ambani, the richest individual in Asia and Chairman of Reliance Industries, has extended his decision to forgo his salary for the fourth consecutive year. This choice, first made in response to the financial challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, continues to reflect Ambani’s commitment to societal impact and shared prosperity, as he declines all forms of compensation, including salary, benefits, and allowances.

Strategic Salary Sacrifice: Aligning with Broader Goals

Social Responsibility and Business Alignment

Ambani’s decision to skip his salary aligns with Reliance Industries’ broader objectives, both business and social. By foregoing his pay, Ambani emphasizes the company’s commitment to shareholder capitalism, prioritizing the well-being of customers, employees, and the community. This move also highlights Ambani’s role as a leader focused on creating shared value across the board.

Beyond Public Relations

While some may view Ambani’s decision as a PR strategy to boost Reliance Industries’ image as a socially responsible corporation, it serves a deeper purpose. The decision reinforces a culture of shared purpose within the organization, motivating employees and uniting them under a common goal.

A Legacy of Salary Sacrifice

Four Consecutive Years Without Compensation

Ambani first chose to forgo his salary in the fiscal year 2020–21, during a period marked by the economic impact of the pandemic. He has maintained this practice over the following years—2021–22, 2022–23, and the current fiscal year 2023–24—demonstrating his sustained commitment to these principles.

Historical Precedents in Executive Pay

Before the pandemic, Ambani had already set a precedent by capping his salary at Rs 15 crore (approximately $2 million) for the fiscal year 2008–2009. This personal example of responsible executive pay contrasted sharply with the often criticized excessive CEO salaries in the corporate world.

Mukesh Ambani’s Global Wealth and Influence

Ranking Among the World’s Wealthiest

With a net worth estimated at $109 billion, Mukesh Ambani ranks 11th among the world’s wealthiest individuals, following global titans like Warren Buffett and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Wealth Coupled with Philanthropy

Despite his immense wealth, Ambani’s choice to forgo his salary underscores his dedication to broader societal goals. It’s a gesture that aligns with his larger vision for Reliance Industries’ role in India’s economic and social progress.

Reliance Industries’ Future Outlook

Optimism and Growth Prospects

In the annual report, Ambani expressed optimism about Reliance Industries’ future. He emphasized the company’s ongoing efforts to identify new opportunities that contribute to India’s growth, thereby expanding Reliance’s diverse business portfolio.

Strengthened Financial Position

Recent significant capital expenditures have bolstered Reliance Industries’ balance sheet, positioning the company for continued growth. This financial stability aligns with Ambani’s vision of supporting India’s economic development through strategic investments.

Impact on the Indian Economy

Substantial Tax Contributions

For the fiscal year 2023–2024, Reliance Industries reported a substantial contribution to the Indian government, paying Rs 186,440 crore in taxes and duties. This payment covers 3.86% of the government’s budgeted expenditure target of Rs 48.21 lakh crore for 2024–25, exceeding planned spending on agriculture, which is Rs 1.52 lakh crore.

Significance in the National Budget

Reliance Industries’ tax contributions highlight its role as a critical player in India’s economy. The company’s financial inputs help fund essential public services and infrastructure, reinforcing its commitment to the nation’s development.

Conclusion

Mukesh Ambani’s decision to forgo his salary for a fourth year is more than a financial move—it’s a powerful symbol of his leadership philosophy and commitment to shared prosperity. This action strengthens Reliance Industries’ dedication to societal impact and underscores Ambani’s role as a leader committed to both business success and community well-being.
