On the heels of the strong second quarter fiscal 2025 report, Nvidia approved an additional $50 billion in share buybacks in addition to the $7.5 billion it still has remaining under its share repurchase authorization. Looking out to the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Nvidia expects revenue to be $32.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, while GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.4% and 75%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points.

Foot Locker Burns Through Cash During First Half of Full Year 2024
Aug 28, 2024
-
Image: Foot Locker’s shares have been quite volatile the past couple years.
Foot Locker reaffirmed its full-year 2024 non-GAAP earnings per share outlook of $1.50-$1.70 per share. For full year 2024, it also reiterated its sales guidance of -1% to 1% growth and comparable sales growth in the range of 1%-3%. For the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, cash flow from operations was $126 million, while capital spending was $132 million, resulting in a cash burn. Though Foot Locker has returned to top line growth, we’re not at all interested in shares given its cash-flow performance.
