us and the third largest company on wall street and expectations of the company for the third quarter earnings have been sky—high and here is the benchmark and they would report earnings in around $20.4 billion in revenue. but nvidia did better than that, earnings came in at around $5 per share and revenue $22.1 billion. in the company said revenue during this quarter would meet expectations. the company is riding high on the enthusiasm of artificial intelligence nvidia chips are used to power the ai models that are all the rage in the tech industry right now and that is why quarterly results give so much attention and looking to the performance for clues about how the ai boom is progressing in to hear nvidia paul's positive executor saying accelerated computing in generative have hit the demand

across companies, industries and nations. for a closer look at nvidia 5 report card and what it means for the broader chip industry, we rejoined by technology analyst bob o'donnell from technalysis research joins us>. analyst bob o'donnell from technalysis research joins us. was starting to see mainstream usage of ai like microsoft office 365, it is copilot google integrating that into its workspace product and we have all these services starting to use that and you have a lovely start up companies were spending money getting access to equipment and large companies like meta for use get to drive all kinds of different algorithms within the tools and services that they offer and another thing we are seeing is the tipping point of across industries, it is being used in automotive design and used in automotive design and used in automotive design and used in telecommunications industries for planning network and being used in mainstream companies to figure out and get insight into data that they

have not been able to get before. i think the point is that this is now really starting to hit the kinds of companies across the board and not to express that he make specialised tech companies and that's important for the industry. some of nvidia's largest customers are in china. how do you see its chinese business evolving, as us china tensions persist? growing tremendously worldwide her head in china and a lot of that was two to the restrictions that the us is put on that in their developing products just on that in their developing productsjust for the on that in their developing products just for the chinese market to address those concerns and there is hope that we'll see some growth come back there but it is something we have to watch in on the automotive side, they're doing automotive side, they're doing a tonne of business in china and i was not impacted at all. the us central bank is in no rush to cut interest rates, according to latest the minutes from the federal reserve�*s january meeting. most officials are wary

about the risk of cutting rates too quickly and want to see more evidence that inflation is tracking towards their 2 percent target. they did however agree that rates were currently at their peak, but remain uncertain on the timing of the first rate cut. the decision comes after a safety analysis by the company with security experts and government officials. flights with one stopover will start first while nonstop service will begin later. sticking to the aviation industry, where there has been a lot of focus on planemaker boeing and its future. the company has just announced the exit of ed clark, who led its troubled 737 max programme. boeing said the changes were aimed at improving its quality and safety. it is still regaining the trust of customers, after a piece of one of its jets blew off during a passenger flight injanuary. the bbc�*s monica miller attended asia's largest airshow in singapore this week, where boeing is exibiting. she sent us this report.

an 18 year veteran of the company has been dismissed and has been in charge of the 737 max programme since 2021 is the fifth person to be in a position in this announcement comesjust one week position in this announcement comes just one week before the head of boeing is expected to meet regulators and the federal aviation ministries a tour around washington state plant to look at its quality control and this comes after many of its major clients and many of its major clients and many of its airlines have complained about the boeing quality control issues and one thing they have done since the airline incident is they want to be transparent and they want to be transparent and they want to make sure that they are the requires or exceeded and i have to say, it has a lower profile than as in previous years. airspace majors are, captivating audience and the airshow. the roads largest commercial plane maker made a

splash as they took a spin around the expo using aviation fuel. and one was boeing, no jets were on display and after recent mid—flight incident, a panel detached from the airline boeing 737 max nine and an investigation for the us regulator found four critical bolts are missing meant to hold the door plug in place and now, the door plug in place and now, the future of the family of the 737 max fleet is in question. this is not the first time boeing has faced safety crisis. in 2018 and 2019 there were two crashes of the 737 they claim the lives of 346 people. they did not know _ the lives of 346 people. they did not know what _ the lives of 346 people. they did not know what they - the lives of 346 people. they did not know what they were flying — did not know what they were flying but they notice this time _ flying but they notice this time and as an airflow rate company— time and as an airflow rate company that is not something you want. _ company that is not something you want, they want to be thinking _ you want, they want to be thinking about niceties and the flight _ thinking about niceties and the
