Question: What does the significant increase in NVIDIA's Working Capital from 2023 to 2024 reveal about its ability to manage short-term obligations and overall financial health?
Answer: NVIDIA's Working Capital increased from $16,510 million in 2023 to $33,714 million in 2024. This significant improvement indicates that the company has enhanced its ability to cover its short-term obligations with its current assets. The higher working capital suggests a stronger liquidity position, reflecting positively on the company's financial health and liquidity management.
