Nvidia, the number one in US stock turnover, closed down 3.22% and traded $33.481 billion on Friday.
Nvidia reported on Wednesday that revenue for the third fiscal quarter was 35.082 billion US dollars, up 94% year on year, up 17% month on month; net profit was 19.309 billion US dollars, up 109% year on year, up 16% month on month; adjusted net profit without US GAAP was 20.01 billion US dollars, up 100% year on year and 18% month on month.
The company's CFO says the demand for Blackwell AI chips is astonishing and has sent 0.013 million samples to partners.
Goldman Sachs analysts predict that Nvidia's free cash flow (that is, cash flow from the company's operations after deducting capital expenses) will exceed $200 billion over the next two years. According to the current rate of dividends and share repurchases, two years of dividends and share repurchases will consume approximately $60 billion, which means that Nvidia's cash flow will increase by approximately $140 billion in net terms. Adding this figure to existing capital, Hwang In-hoon will have about 175 billion dollars in working capital in 2027, surpassing Apple, the current king of cash.
The second-place Tesla closed 3.80% higher at $30.978 billion. There was news on Friday that Tesla is preparing for the Cybertruck electric pickup truck to land in the Chinese market. According to reports, Tesla is using two different engineering solutions to improve Cybertruck to meet the entry requirements of the Chinese market. This is because “the Chinese market has stricter regulations on pedestrian collision protection,” but currently the specific engineering plan is unknown.
At present, some domestic imported Cybertruck cyberpickup trucks have been successfully licensed. The Tesla Cybertruck Cybertruck also began touring many parts of the country at the beginning of this year, but Musk once claimed that it would be very difficult for the car to legally hit the road in China.
According to another report, Tesla failed to persuade a US judge to dismiss a consumer lawsuit alleging that Tesla failed to warn buyers about an alleged defect that could cause the car to automatically brake without an actual risk of collision.
On Friday, Chicago US District Judge Georgia Alexakis (Georgia Alexakis) ruled the case was well-founded, but said the proposed class-action lawsuit may continue because Tesla is hiding “phantom brakes” safety flaws from potential buyers. Alexis dismissed other parts of the lawsuit, including the driver's claim that the insurance premiums for cars sold by the Intersra Insurance division were too high due to the company's alleged collision monitoring flaws. Tesla has asked the judge to dismiss the entire lawsuit.
Third-place MicroStrategy closed 6.19% higher at $23.599 billion. The stock has accumulated gains of more than 20% this week. Bitcoin neared the $0.1 million mark on Friday. Driven by this, Bitcoin concept stocks generally rose higher.

5th place Apple closed 0.59% higher at $8.504 billion. Apple and Google may face competitive investigations due to their dominance in the UK mobile web browser and app market. The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) released a report on Friday that included the provisional decisions of an independent investigation team tasked with conducting an in-depth investigation into the mobile browser market.

Shares continued to rise in recent trading days after the company hired BDO USA as a new auditor and submitted plans to resume NASDAQ listing compliance. The company's August 10-K financial disclosure report was delayed due to the resignation of former auditor Ernst & Young due to concerns about transparency and governance.
Ultramicrocomputer has now submitted a compliance plan to NASDAQ to complete and submit its annual report as of June 30, 2024 and subsequent quarterly reports on time. If the plan is accepted by NASDAQ, the deadline for submitting documents can be extended to February, otherwise the company can appeal.
