Nvidia delivered a sales forecast that left some investors underwhelmed, adding to concerns about the momentum of AI spending. Revenue in the current period will be $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Though analysts had estimated $105.2 billion on average, some projections exceeded $110 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Gross margin, the percentage of sales remaining after deducting the cost of production, will be roughly 74%.
