Market Value Focuses on NVIDIA's Financial Report After Wednesday's U.S. Stock Market Close

Investors are focusing on NVIDIA's financial report after Wednesday's U.S. stock market close. NVIDIA has become a key indicator in the technology and AI sectors, measuring the health of the AI industry. Morgan Stanley stated that for NVIDIA, alleviating concerns about the delay in Blackwell is more important than raising revenue expectations. NVIDIA's stock price has risen by approximately 160% since the beginning of this year and by a staggering 1000% since the bear market low in October 2022. Options market prices suggest that NVIDIA's stock price may experience a nearly 10% fluctuation the day after the financial report is released.

The market currently expects NVIDIA's second-quarter revenue to increase by about 112% year-on-year, reaching $28.68 billion; earnings per share are expected to be $0.60, a 141.49% increase. However, due to increased production costs resulting from demand growth, its adjusted gross margin is expected to decrease by over 3 percentage points, from 78.8% in the previous quarter to 75.8%.

In the second quarter, NVIDIA's most important data center business is expected to generate $24 billion in revenue, a 142% increase from $10.3 billion in the same period last year.

However, it is worth noting that the growth in data centers may be lower than the 426% revenue growth in the previous quarter and the 408% in the fourth quarter of last year.
