Nvidia’s Modest Forecast Raises Questions About Expectations
Even if some investors have made Nvidia the most valuable company in the world, the company still fell short of meeting their high expectations for fourth-quarter revenue, which it predicted on Wednesday, which was marginally higher than predictions.

The company's manufacturing partner TSMC has limited capacity for innovative production procedures, which has been a bottleneck for its chip supply.
Earnings per share for the third quarter came in at 81 cents, which was lower than the 75 cents predicted by analysts.
