The report highlights a strong 'beat and raise' from Nvidia, fueling the AI narrative, alongside news of Anthropic reaching profitability ahead of schedule. However, software sentiment is dampened by a significant miss from Intuit and weaker guidance from Autotrader.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Nvidia reported a significant beat and raise, delivering $81.6bn in Q1 revenue against street expectations of ~$79bn, which is expected to catalyze other AI and semiconductor businesses.
  • 2.Anthropic is expected to turn profitable in Q2 2026, significantly ahead of its previous 2028 target, with sales doubling quarter-over-quarter to $10.9B.
  • 3.Intuit shares dropped 13% after TurboTax results failed to meet buyside expectations and management refrained from endorsing long-term guidance.
