Nvidia's stock price surged by over 5% after the company released its quarterly results. The market reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with many analysts and investors praising the tech giant for exceeding expectations in several key areas.

The company reported a record revenue of $96.2 billion, more than doubling from last year's figures. This surpassed Wall Street's estimates of $91.9 billion, while adjusted earnings reached $2.22 per share, beating the expected $2.08 per share.

Nvidia's data-center revenue saw an impressive 117% increase to $89 billion, significantly exceeding analyst forecasts of around $85.08 billion.
