What to expect from Nvidia’s Earnings
Nvidia’s forthcoming Q4 2023 earnings call, scheduled for Wednesday, February 21st, 2024, is anticipated to be a pivotal event not only for the company itself but also for the broader technology landscape, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). As the third most valuable company on Wall Street, with a staggering market capitalization of $1.79 trillion, Nvidia is expecting earnings per share of $4.58 and forecasted revenue of $20.37 billion. Investors are closely monitoring the outcomes of this earnings release, recognizing its potential to influence market sentiment and investment decisions.
The remarkable surge in Nvidia’s shares, soaring by over 46% since the beginning of the year, underscores the heightened anticipation surrounding the company’s performance. This surge has been fueled by fervent enthusiasm for the business prospects of AI technology, which Nvidia has been instrumental in advancing through its cutting-edge chip technologies. Notably, Nvidia’s market capitalization increase, above that of Intel’s, reflects the widespread recognition of its leadership role in the AI sector. These robust gains have played a significant role in driving the overall performance of the S&P 500 index, contributing 24% of its rise in the last years.
As the earnings call approaches, market participants are bracing themselves for potential volatility, with options pricing suggesting a substantial swing of around 11% in either direction following the release of Nvidia’s financial results. This heightened level of volatility is indicative of the market’s keen interest in Nvidia’s performance and its implications for the broader tech sector. Additionally, a disappointing report from Nvidia could exacerbate existing concerns over market crowding, particularly in relation to the largest stocks, further underscoring the significance of this upcoming earnings announcement.

Hi Luke,
First this is very sentimental for me to write a comment as I am a 2014 student of your Dad, if I am right Steve Miley. And I do come back here often to read about Hawks and Doves Sheet that he introduces me to then.
And here comes Luke Miley today following the footstep of Steve and it’s great to see such a progression. I was researching about NVIDIA too and what a great commentary you have written about them and for now I can see much more faster development pouring through in the era of tech development. My major concern is it will get to a point where there will be a lot of disparity in our society as tech company is running faster than the fervent users of most tech innovation and hence I believe the government need to start driving policies in a balance manner in favour of tech and the fervent users so that each innovation can spread simultaneously globally rather than just some set of beneficiary like the 1% of the society. It’s like capitalism or the 10% rich or even 5% of successful financial markets trader.
I can see the need of educational to experiential develooment in our society so that tech can be widespreadly understandable.
Thank you Luke and hope to connect soon and share more ideas.
