What's Going On With Nvidia Stock Thursday?

Nvidia Corp NVDA stock is trading higher Thursday after key partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd TSM set the momentum up with its third-quarter earnings beat and upbeat outlook.

TSMC reported a third-quarter revenue decline of 14.6% year-on-year to $17.28 billion, beating the consensus of $17.07 billion. EPS of $1.29 beat the consensus of $1.17.

Advanced technologies, defined as 7-nm and more advanced technologies, accounted for 59% of total wafer revenue. 

The Taiwan contract chipmaker expects Q4 revenue of $18.8 billion - $19.6 billion vs. the consensus of $18.65 billion. 

CEO C. C. Wei acknowledged early signs of demand stabilization in the PC and smartphone markets during the conference call. 

He expects healthy growth in 2024. TSMC looks to spend $32 billion on growing and upgrading capacity in 2023, beating the analyst consensus of $30.5 billion.

Nvidia stock price also seems to reflect its expanded partnership with critical Apple Inc AAPL partner, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd HNHPF, operating as Foxconn to develop a new class of data centers, including the development of AI-powered electric vehicle and robotics platforms.

Meanwhile, Nvidia analysts reserved a mixed outlook over the U.S. fresh embargo on advanced artificial intelligence technology.
