Chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA: NSD) is set to release its first-quarter earnings report after the market closes today, May 22nd, 2024. In the lead-up to the release, let’s delve into what investor sentiment is signaling for NVDA stock.
Expected Q1 Earnings of Nvidia:
Analysts anticipate Nvidia to report first-quarter revenue of $24.59 billion, suggesting a potential tripling of its year-over-year top line. Furthermore, Wall Street expects NVDA’s earnings per share to come in at $5.60 for Q1, reflecting a significant 414% year-over-year increase.
However, simply exceeding expectations may not be enough to propel NVDA stock upwards. The extent to which the company surpasses earnings estimates will likely be the key factor influencing the future trajectory of NVDA stock.
