The Reuters after‑hours roundup highlighted earnings beats and guidance updates from seven prominent technology‑focused companies.

NVIDIA (NVDA)

NVIDIA reported second‑quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.22 on revenue of $96.2 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. Management issued upbeat third‑quarter revenue guidance of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, explicitly stating that the outlook assumes zero data‑center compute revenue from China due to ongoing trade restrictions.

Salesforce (CRM)

Salesforce posted Q2 EPS of $5.90, beating consensus by $2.63, on total revenue of $11.3 billion. The company raised its full‑year 2027 EPS target to a range of $16.67‑$16.71, citing strong growth in enterprise cloud subscriptions and the Agentforce AI automation suite as drivers of accelerated margin expansion.

Okta (OKTA)

Okta delivered a Q2 EPS of $1.05 on revenue of $805 million, exceeding forecasts. The identity‑management firm lifted its full‑year sales guidance to a range of $3.216‑$3.226 billion, reflecting expanding enterprise adoption of its Workforce and Customer Identity product suites.

Synopsys (SNPS)

Synopsys reported EPS of $3.91 on revenue of $2.48 billion, beating expectations. Despite the beat, the stock fell 6% as profit‑taking set in after recent gains in the chip‑design software sector.

CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD)

CrowdStrike posted Q2 EPS of $0.31 on revenue of $1.47 billion, beating consensus. The cybersecurity firm raised its full‑year 2027 revenue outlook to a range of $5.99‑$6.01 billion, citing robust platform consolidation, strong gross retention, and recent operational recoveries.

Nutanix (NTNX)

Nutanix announced fiscal Q4 adjusted EPS of $0.60, topping estimates by $0.11, on revenue of $757.1 million. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew 16% year‑over‑year to $2.55 billion. The company’s fiscal Q1 2027 revenue guidance of $755‑$765 million aligned closely with Wall Street’s consensus of $762 million. Full‑year free cash flow totaled $840.7 million, underscoring strong cash generation.

HP Inc. (HPQ)

HP Inc. delivered fiscal Q3 EPS of $0.83 on revenue of $15.7 billion, beating both top‑ and bottom‑line expectations. However, the stock dropped 11% after the company signaled softer Q4 margin expectations, attributing pressure to rising component costs—particularly memory and display panels—affecting gross margins in its Personal Systems and Printing segments.
