Investors in Nvidia cashed in profits last night despite the chip producer's third-quarter results impressively beating forecasts on Wall Street. The stock, which has risen by almost 250 per cent since the start of the year, dipped 4 per cent immediately after the company said its revenue had risen to $18.12 billion in the three-month period, outstripping analysts' predictions of $16.18 billion and representing an increase of 206 per cent from only a year ago. The selling spree was brief, however, and the shares pared early losses. They were down 0.8 per cent, or $3.69, at $495.55 in after-hours trading last night. - The Times
