Nvidia Beats Estimates, Stock Crashes—Finance Logic 101

Despite this, their guidance was about as enthusiastic as a caffeine-deprived cat, especially with data center revenue coming in just under expectations. Investors responded by nudging the stock down 3% in after-hours trading, as if saying 'Thanks, but no thanks.' It's the classic corporate sad saxophone: beat the estimates, but act hesitant enough to wobble your market value—because who needs consistency when you have volatility? Investors must be enjoying that rollercoaster ride in the realm of semiconductor melodrama.
