Nvidia Sinks After Warning on Revenue, Especially in China

(Bloomberg) -- Nvidia shares drop 13% in early trading after cutting fourth-quarter revenue guidance as Gaming and Datacenter revenues come below company’s expectations. CEO Jensen Huang cited an "extraordinary, unusually turbulent, and disappointing quarter.”

• Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, particularly in China, impacted consumer demand for NVIDIA gaming GPUs
• In addition, sales of certain high-end GPUs using NVIDIA’s Turing architecture were lower than expected
• Sees 4Q rev. $2.2 billion plus or minus 2%, vs. estimate of $2.7 billion
• In Datacenter, revenue also came in short of expectations as number of deals in the company’s forecast did not close in the last month of the quarter as customers shifted to a more cautious approach
• AMD shares also down 5.9% in pre-market trading
