元器件交易網(wǎng)訊 11月8日消息，據(jù)外媒Barrons報(bào)道，美國(guó)知名圖形芯片制造商N(yùn)vidia宣布股息上調(diào)13％至8.5美分，這源于其2013年第三季度在整體PC電腦市場(chǎng)預(yù)期萎縮的大背景下，依然取得了不錯(cuò)的盈利預(yù)期。

NVIDIA(英偉達(dá))日前發(fā)布了截至2012年10月28日的2013財(cái)年第三季度財(cái)務(wù)報(bào)告，第三季度收入達(dá)12億美元，比上一季度增長(zhǎng)15.3%，比去年同期增長(zhǎng)12.9%，達(dá)到預(yù)期最大值。

NVIDIA圖形芯片主要應(yīng)用于個(gè)人電腦、移動(dòng)設(shè)備和超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)，此部分純收入為1.187億美元，超出分析師預(yù)期。 每股收益20美分，符合分析師預(yù)期。

此外，NVIDIA將季度股息從7.5美分上調(diào)13％至8.5美分，使得當(dāng)前股票收率增加2％。在隨后的盤后交易中，Nvidia股價(jià)又上漲0.27美元，漲幅1.9％，漲至14.82美元。

NVIDIA首席執(zhí)行官兼聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人黃仁勛在周四尾盤接受Barron記者采訪時(shí)指出，“Nvidia素以圖形芯片終端產(chǎn)品而著稱，智能手機(jī)并不能威脅到游戲應(yīng)用程序、高端汽車應(yīng)用、以及高性能計(jì)算。我們專注于專業(yè)PC行業(yè)，我們高度重視細(xì)分市場(chǎng)。去年第一季度，NVIDIA的Tegra移動(dòng)處理器單元業(yè)務(wù)實(shí)現(xiàn)翻番，并且預(yù)期它將從低谷中恢復(fù)過來，對(duì)此好前景，我們感到很高興。”

至于個(gè)人電腦市場(chǎng)，黃仁勛預(yù)計(jì)，“ 在2013年，整體PC市場(chǎng)將主流下降約10％，Nvidia正努力在下個(gè)季度繼續(xù)于本季度持平。而Nvidia的Tegra移動(dòng)處理器單元業(yè)務(wù)預(yù)期將繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，繼續(xù)保持強(qiáng)勁GPU業(yè)務(wù)。”(元器件交易網(wǎng)龍燕 譯)

The personal computer market may be shrinking, but Nvidia met profitability expectations in its latest quarter and raised its dividend.

The maker of graphics chips used in personal computers, mobile devices and supercomputers reported net income of $118.7 million for its third quarter, better than analysts expected. Revenue of $1.05 billion also topped estimates. Earnings per share of 20 cents were in line with analyst expectations, according to Thomson I/B/E/S data.

As part of its earnings announcement, Nvidia also raised its quarterly dividend 13% from 7.5 cents to 8.5 cents per quarter. The stock’s current yield, before the increase, is 2%.

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) rallied 27 cents, or 1.9%, to $14.82 in after-hours trading after sinking 2.4% earlier in the day.

In an interview with Barrons.com late Thursday, CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang pointed to Nvidia’s specialty end markets for its graphics processing units (GPUs), saying the smartphone is not taking away demand for applications in gaming, high-end automobiles, and high-performance computing.

“We are focused on specialty parts of the PC industry and our segment of the market is highly valued,” Huang said, adding that Nvidia’s Tegra mobile processor unit business doubled since last quarter. “We expected it to recover from the trough and we are excited about that,” he said.

As for the PC market, Huang tells Barrons.com that he expects the overall mainstream PC market to decline about 10% in 2013, and Nvidia is looking for the next quarter to be flat. But he said Nvidia expects “Tegra to continue to grow, and we expect our GPU business to continue to be robust.”
