Falling Stock, Nvidia Braces for Critical Earnings Report

Nvidia Stock Declines as Critical Earnings Report Looms

Magnificent Seven stock Nvidia fell on Monday as Wall Street prepared for what one analyst called the “most significant tech income in years.” The Nvidia stock price today is currently $126.46, down -2.25% over the last day.

NVIDIA Corporation offers networking, graphics, and computing solutions both domestically in the US and internationally, including in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and other countries. Its Graphics segment provides Quadro/NVIDIA RTX GPUs for enterprise workstation graphics, virtual GPU (vGPU) software for cloud-based visual and virtual computing, automotive platforms for infotainment systems, and Omniverse software for creating and managing metaverse and 3D internet applications.

Additionally, NVIDIA offers the GeForce NOW game streaming platform, related infrastructure, and GeForce GPUs for gaming and PCs.

The Compute & Networking segment includes NVIDIA DRIVE, an automated driving platform, along with Jetson Robotics, automotive development agreements, and other platforms. This segment also covers NVIDIA AI Enterprise, DGX Cloud software and services, as well as data center computing. Additionally, it offers end-to-end networking platforms, including Quantum for InfiniBand and Spectrum for Ethernet.

The All Other segment encompasses expenses that don’t directly relate to Nvidia’s main product segments. This includes costs associated with stock-based compensation, corporate infrastructure and support, acquisition-related activities, legal settlements, and other one-time charges. These expenses, while not tied to specific product lines, are crucial for maintaining Nvidia’s overall operations and corporate structure.

Nvidia Stock Forecast

The Magnificent Seven stock, Nvidia trades inside the Bollinger Bands (BB) in terms of price movement, with the lower band at $76.68 and the upper band at $143.55. Given Nvidia’s recent breakout from the lower band, $100 may be a crucial level of support.

On the plus side, Nvidia might retest its earlier highs around $150 if it breaks above the resistance level of $120, validating the bullish scenario.

It’s important to remember that the massive semiconductor company has been trying to stabilise itself after going through a lot of volatility at the beginning of August. Investors predict that NVDA will see more upside before the earnings report, especially given the expectation that the tech company will meet targets.

Analysts are projecting a strong performance in line with this. The company’s earnings Per Share (EPS) should increase 138% from the previous year to $0.64. Estimates for Nvidia revenue, which would represent a 113% increase over the same quarter last year at $28.71 billion, are also expected to be impressive.

Above all, the focus will be on Nvidia’s ability to show how its artificial intelligence (AI) processor customers are making money. According to some analysts, NVDA is expected to reach $150 if the chipmaker reports positive earnings.

With a high Nvidia stock forecast of $200.00 and a low forecast of $100.00, the average price target is $149.89. The change from the previous price of $126.46 to the average price target is 18.53%.

The sentiment around Nvidia stock is cautiously optimistic. Investors expect further upside before the earnings report, driven by Nvidia’s AI processors and strong growth projections. While recent volatility is acknowledged, the stock’s potential to break key resistance levels suggests a bullish outlook.
