Nvidia's results beat estimates, but Wall Street wants more cash return

Chipmaker Nvidia posted better-than-expected results for the January quarter on Wednesday and forecast current-quarter revenue above market estimates, betting on Big Tech's unabated spending on its artificial-intelligence processors. On the post-earnings conference call, UBS ‌analyst Tim Arcuri asked executives whether Nvidia was looking to give back to shareholders some of the $100 billion cash it was likely to generate this year, because "no matter how good the results have been, the stock hasn't really ​gone up much." In response, Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said the company wanted to keep investing in the AI ecosystem.
