On tap
It’s the most anticipated earnings announcement of the season. Nvidia (NVDA) will report its latest quarterly results today, marking the last “Magnificent 7” member to reveal its numbers. Keep in mind that it might be a complicated report to digest. A number of recent developments have impacted the most dominant player in the AI industry, which has led the pack with sheer computing power and efficiency.
Sifting through the noise: Nvidia will likely continue its double-beat streak, which it has maintained for the last seven quarters, but investors will be more tuned in to gross margins and levels of growth. Shareholders also want more clarity surrounding China, which should make for lots of discussion during the post-earnings call with CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia had previously warned of a $5.5B writeoff due to export controls on its H20 chips and related hardware, so stay tuned on what that means for guidance going forward.
While a new China-compliant or repurposed chip might be in the making, new markets are also opening. President Trump’s visit to the Middle East secured Nvidia a place in the Stargate Project for the UAE, while the company will also be selling its GPUs to Saudi Arabia. As a result, capital expenditures will be even more important than usual, so keep an eye on whether those forecasts will fall in line with annual guidance.
