that's a hundred and twenty—two percent higher than a year ago.but its shares are taking a hit in after—hours trading in new york. the bbc�*s ritika gupta has more. the chip—maker put up a blockbuster quarter in earnings, revenues topped $30 billion, more than double what it reported a year ago and beating the expectations from wall street. 68 cents also came in above expectations. the company authorised another $50 billion in share buy—backs. but after a huge run—up in stocks, expectations were high going into the report, and investors had been looking for an even bigger revenue forecast. the outlook threatens to tamp down nai frenzy that has transformed the company into the world's second most valuable company. as anticipated, they gave an update on the production delays and design flaws on its chip,

causing market volatility several weeks ago. they acknowledged there were issues with production, saying that it was making changes to the number of functioning chips that come out of factories. at the same time, the company expects to bring in several billion dollars of revenue in the fourth quarter from the product. nvidia shares have fallen by around 7% in after—hours trading in new york. industry expert bob o'donnell explained the market reaction and what lies ahead for the company. i think when it comes to this brand and its particular earnings, all rationality has gone out the window. there is no normal metric being used or that can be used for this. there is so much attention from individual investors and from people doing options and futures, and everything you can imagine is being thrown at this. and so hit on scrambles all that is bound to get messy. some people are saying, well, the growth was higher than the forecast, but still not high enough. even though we

forecasted it here, we wanted it to be here. it's like, you know, at a certain point, it gets to be absurd. that's why all rationality has gone out the window. it is still strong growth, but eventually, you do hit the law of big numbers, where growth is going to slow on a percentage basis but the absolute dollars are still enormous. and let's not lose sight of that. we are very much in the very beginnings and early innings of the aim for structure build—up. i mean, this ai impact is a multiyear phenomenon, and the market doesn't know how to do multiyear phenomenons. they like things that happen here and now. and this is going to keep building for a long time. they have positioned themselves quite well here. 0bviously they have positioned themselves quite well here. obviously you run into a lot of big numbers at some point and eventually we will start to see that, but they are continuing to outperform expectations because there is such huge demand, and what is interesting about this is the fact that most of the focus up until now has been on the big cloud guys, amazon,

microsoft, google, you know, the other players around the world, but now what we are also starting to see, and this was made reference to earlier, you've got sovereign governments that want to have their own ai infrastructure all around the. world. you've got enterprises, companies, individual companies wanting to build their own ai. and in fact, i've got some research that i'm just in the process of, of. getting ready to publish that shows that, there's strong interest in companies wanting to have some of these capabilities within their own data centres. so put all that together and the enthusiasm and eagerness is there. and the walls that nvidia has built up thanks to its cuda software. that is the opportunities it's created for itself. um, you know, give it a long runway. telegram boss and founder pavel durov has been placed under formal investigation in france as part of a probe into organised crime on the messaging app. prosecutors say mr durov has not been remanded in custody. he has been placed under judicial supervision, and has to pay a 5.6 million deposit.

with other substances. staying with the aviation industry, australia's national carrier qantas has just released its latest report card.it posted a i6% drop in annual profit, due to rising fuel costs and lower fares. just earlier this week, the airline made headlines for mistakenly selling first—class tickets at a steep discount to hundreds of customers. qantas has since refunded or downgraded passengers affected by the mishap.>brendan sobie from sobie aviation told us the results weren't surprising. we are seeing this across asia—pacific with international market starting to soften. so not a surprise, the domestic market remains very strong. it will get stronger even potentially given the recent collapse of the two competitors, exiting after the year ended. not too surprising, a good outlook and high probability for the next year, it is not going to be as high as what was on the first two

years after covid. as what was on the first two years after (avid.— as what was on the first two years after covid. they have also halted _ years after covid. they have also halted their _ years after covid. they have also halted their sydney - years after covid. they have also halted their sydney to i also halted their sydney to shanghai flights. is that indicative from what we are seeing from the demand from the china market in particular? i5 china market in particular? i3 indicative of chinese —— non—chinese characters are seeing, very intense competition with chinese carriers. chinese carriers are back at full capacity overall in the international market or almost at full capacity and in markets like australia as well as europe and other strict markets they've really been expanding quite a lot. it's just hard for the foreign airlines to compete in that environment, and a lot of them have decided to cut down there are better places to place your these days. a lot of the other long haul markets, well, a bit softer

than they were a year ago, are still very much stronger than china. so it's kind of a no brainer decision to remove capacity from china if you're a foreign airline and not bleed lead on these routes, given the intense competition from the chinese carriers. continuing our series on ageing populations across the world. today we're looking at singapore, where people are both living longer than ever and having fewer children than ever. soon, a shrinking young workforce will have to prop up an ever—expanding group of retirees, who also now live alone in record numbers. faced with a potential social and economic crisis, singapore's government has encouraged its senior citizens to — keep working. 0ur reporter nick marsh went to meet some people who are doing just that. martin goh is well known in this part of town. it's herjob to deliver lunch and dinner to people who struggle to leave their homes. living alone, she signed up to a scheme that uses government money to offer retirees paid odd jobs in their community. i do nothing at home. sweeping, mopping. so when this chance comes by, ijust grab to make my life more fulfilling and more purposeful.

loneliness is starting to be an issue in singapore. by 2026, the country is on track to become a super aged society, with one in 5 people being over 65. naturally, people want to retire at an early age and enjoy their life. but from an economic perspective, this is not sustainable and that is going to become a very heavy burden for the government. working into old age would solve a lot of problems, but for many, it's not exactly the most thrilling prospect. back into work. it depends on i don't like to work any more. no use. who is going to employ you? nobody. they are looking for young guys, young young people, youngsters and all this. singapore's government knows this. and it's paying companies to hire over 60 by offsetting part of their wages. the older they are, the more subsidies a firm receives.

persuading the people here to return to work is one thing, but getting employers to actually hire them. well, that's arguably an even bigger challenge. you can keep throwing public money at the problem, but only for so long. what the government really needs is for the private sector to start thinking very differently about age. before retiring, edna worked at one of singapore's biggest banks for 50 years now. shes back after signing up for a temporary work scheme, it means that when projects or part time vacancies pop up, managers have a ready made pool of experienced workers to draw from. it might help me, i will continue, you know, if they need me or they need my help, i will still continue. madame goh, meanwhile, was working double duty the day we met her, taking attendance at her local exercise class.

she also says that she'll carry on as long as she physically can. in singapore, as in other countries, it's a scenario that workers and employers will find increasingly common. nick marsh, bbc news, singapore. finding happiness and health in old age is important. and that's it for this edition of business today. thanks for watching.
