Nvidia : Place Your Bets
Nvidia is expected to report earnings Today after market close. Wall Street consensus for adjusted Q4 EPS is $4.60 a share, up more than 700% from 65 cents a year ago. Q4 revenue is expected to be $20.43 billion. A miss in earnings or lower forward guidance is likely to cause a wave of profit taking in the technology sector and drag the broader market with it. A stronger than expected report could add fuel to upward momentum and draw in more investors who are already experiencing some degree of FOMO from the stock’s dazzling performance. Nvidia stock price is up 46.6% so far in 2024, adding to its 238% gain in 2023. Source : forbes
