AI chipmaker Nvidia exceeds first-quarter earnings projections
May 28 (UPI) -- Nvidia officials reported first-quarter earnings that exceeded projections with $44.1 billion in revenue, which is 69% higher than a year ago. The earnings are 12% higher than the last quarter of 2024 and produced GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 60.5% and 61%, respectively, Nvidia said Wednesday evening in a news release. GAAP is a setting of accounting rules used by publicly traded companies. The gross margins account for a $4.5 billion charge for exporting its H2O chip to China and would have been 71.3% for non-GAAP goods, Nvidia reported. Earnings were 76 cents for GAAP and 81 cents for non-GAAP diluted shares. The Trump administration on April 9 notified Nvidia that it is requiring the chipmaker to obtain an export license for its H2O chip that is designed specifically for use in China's market. The chip is a specially designed version of Nvidia's popular Hopper AI chips and is intended to comply with U.S. trade restrictions. Nvidia at center of 'profound transformation' Wednesday's earnings report reflects strong demand for Nvidia products, founder and Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said. "Our breakthrough Blackwell NVL72 AI supercomputer -- a 'thinking machine' designed for reasoning -- is now in full-scale production," Huang said. He described global demand for Nvidia's AI infrastructure as "incredibly strong." "AI inference token generation has surged tenfold in just one year," Huang explained. "As AI agents become more mainstream, the demand for AI computing will accelerate." He said nations around the world recognize AI is an essential part of their critical infrastructure, and "Nvidia stands at the center of this profound transformation." Analysts anticipated earnings The artificial intelligence firm was expected to show increased earnings from a year ago, when it posted adjusted earnings of 61 cents per share on $26.04 billion in sales during the quarter that ended on April 27, Investor's Business Daily reported. Analysts queried by FactSet anticipated Nvidia would report adjusted earnings of 73 cents per share and $43.34 billion in sales during the first quarter this year. Others suggested the AI chipmaker would report 93 cents in adjusted earnings per share on $43.31 billion in sales, CNBC reported. Analysts anticipate Nvidia will post improved numbers during the second quarter with projected adjusted earnings of 99 cents per share and nearly $46 billion in sales. The Nvidia earnings report also comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve's recent announcement that it is maintaining the Fed's lending rate of 4.25% to 4.5%. The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee met earlier in the month and agreed that President Donald Trump's tariffs policy and other inflationary pressures could trigger a rise in inflation. Meanwhile, the Dow closed down more than 200 points at the end of trading on Wednesday.

Nikolas Plytas just did what no foil surfer ever has after 800 attempts
Nikolas Plytas Lands World's First Double Backflip on Hydrofoil/ Instagram Greek water sports phenom Nikolas Plytas has pulled off a groundbreaking feat, landing the world's first-ever double backflip on a hydrofoil board. The achievement, captured on video and shared on Instagram, marks a milestone in aerial foilboarding and comes after over 800 grueling attempts. A trick six months in the making Plytas, a professional athlete known for his work across waterskiing, snowboarding, and foil surfing, devoted half a year solely to this single goal. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) 'Hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and also the world's first double backflip in foilboarding,' Plytas wrote on Instagram. 'Over the past six months, I gave everything to this trick. Every time I was on the water, my only focus was landing it.' Despite the inherent danger and complexity of the trick, flipping twice while riding a foil-equipped surfboard, Plytas remained determined to push the limits of what's possible on water. Who is Nikolas Plytas? Born July 30, 1995, in Athens, Greece, Nikolas Plytas has long been a standout figure in extreme sports. He began his career in 2006 and competes across multiple disciplines including: Waterskiing Foil surfing Wing foiling Snowboard slopestyle From early on, Plytas displayed a taste for ambitious stunts. At 19, he famously performed tricks over the rusted remains of a shipwreck at Elefsina. He's also set a national record in the Men's Tricks category, scoring 8,780 points during the first Hatzis Open at his home base, Hatzis Waterski Paradise School, run by his coach George Hatzis, at Aliartos Lake. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [부산 한정] 빠진 치아 1개도 10개도 33만원에 임플란트 해드려요! 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo He divides his time training between Lake Caiaphas in Zacharo and Aliartos Lake, and even experiments with creative crossover projects. In 2021, Plytas combined snowboarding and water skiing in a hybrid video titled H2O, where he transitioned between snow and water using a jet ski and portable winch. Not his 'First' This isn't the first time Plytas has claimed a world-first trick on a foilboard. In 2024, he landed what he called the first-ever backside rodeo 540, a complex aerial spin. While the maneuver drew widespread praise, it also sparked debate. Legendary surfer Kelly Slater weighed in on the terminology of the trick: 'I'm sure I'll get tarred and feathered for this comment but… I get that skaters call rotation based on direction of rotation, but in surfing, everything done facing the wall is and always will be considered frontside,' Slater commented. 'The first rodeo (clowns) were done going (and called) backside rotating opposite to this. If skating is a precursor for direction of spin, then should this just be called a backside McTwist and not a rodeo? Seems the medium you're riding matters when distinguishing and thus the confusion we surfers suffer. Super sick though no matter what.' Whether or not the label sticks, Plytas's groundbreaking tricks are redefining boundaries in the evolving world of hydrofoil surfing. Hydrofoils have often been criticized within traditional surfing circles for their dangers, likened to 'an underwater guillotine' by some purists. But Plytas is among a growing group of elite athletes who are embracing the foil, not just for small wave efficiency or open ocean rides, but as a platform for elite aerial performance. His double backflip isn't just a personal triumph. It represents a bold step forward for the sport itself. From crashing over 800 times to rewriting the rulebook on aerial hydrofoiling, Nikolas Plytas's relentless pursuit of innovation continues to make waves, literally and figuratively, across the global water sports scene.
