Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, gave a strong revenue forecast for the current period, helping counter concern that a global surge in AI spending is poised to fizzle. Sales will be about $65 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, which runs through January, the chipmaker said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts had estimated $62 billion on average, with some predictions ranging as high as $75 billion. The outlook signals that demand remains strong for Nvidia’s artificial intelligence accelerators, the pricey and powerful chips used to develop AI models. Nvidia has faced growing fears that the runaway spending on such equipment isn’t sustainable. Nvidia shares gained about 4% in late trading after the report was released. They had been up 39% this year through the close.For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with: Jay Goldberg, Senior Analyst, Semiconductors & Electronics with Seaport Research Partners Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Ed Ludlow Bloomberg News Big Tech Team Leader Sarah Frier See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu -Drew Reading, Bloomberg Intelligence U.S Homebuilding Analyst, recaps Lowe's earnings. Lowe’s Cos. reported profit that topped expectations on a pickup in online sales and growth in demand from professional contractors. Adjusted earnings per share were $3.06 in the third quarter, the company said in a statement Wednesday, compared with the $3.00 estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. -Mary Ross Gilbert, Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Equity Analyst, Covering Retail,discusses TJX earnings. TJX Cos. posted sales last quarter above estimates and raised its outlook, signaling that US shoppers are turning to cheaper options as the economy shows signs of stress. The discounter, which runs chains including TJ Maxx and Marshalls, said revenue hit $15.1 billion. Analysts on average expected about $14.9 billion. Its comparable sales topped estimates, too. -Liz Hart, President of Leasing for North America at Newmark, discusses the state of commercial real estate. Despite economic uncertainty amid low consumer sentiment, retail remains strong. U.S. retail availability is 5.3%, above the all-time low of 5.0%, and 120-bps under the long-term average availability rate of 6.5%. This is largely due to a very limited development pipeline, dating back to the GFC. Since 2010, retail has delivered less than 1.0% new supply each year, enabling retail to manage obstacles such as a rising rate of e-commerce sales, the Pandemic, and the current low state of consumer sentiment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
