My Stock/Market Alert is an event driven brief about a stock OR the market when noteworthy action occurs. Today’s alert is about Nvidia stock. After today’s market close, the company is announcing the most hotly anticipated quarterly financial report of the year.
Expect the frequency of my Stock/Market Alert notes to be consistent with meaningful moves in a specific stock held by BAM Portfolios or the stock market in general.
After the major indexes finished mixed today, investors awaited a critical fourth-quarter report from artificial intelligence chip leader Nvidia. It is hard to recall any other single company quarterly financial announcement being as closely watched by investors around the world as Nvidia’s (NVDA) today. As I write this the company’s report of its fourth quarter earings and revenues are out. While important and mostly positive, investors are more keenly waiting to hear from NVDA’s guidance from its CEO, Jensen Huang. He has risen to “Rock Star” status in the world of corporate leaders, as he has navigated a near parabolic path for the company to a market value of over $3 trillion.
Investors also wait for Nvidia’s outlook after China’s DeepSeek disrupted the artificial intelligence scene in January. Other headwinds include tariffs and competition from other tech titans that are making custom chips. Nvidia, now a Dow Jones index component, is the last of the Magnificent Seven to report earnings this season. Shares were up nearly 4% in trading today. This pop in NVDA’s stock was welcomed after four straight down days for the Nasdaq index and nearly a 10% drop in NVDA stock in that time.
After waiting all year so far for this news, the market can now release a bit of a sigh. The hotly anticipated earnings report day underscores the impact NVDA has on the overall market. This week’s most watched event on Wall Street provides a glimpse of demand for its top-of-the-line processors and potentially adding fresh fuel to a smoldering AI rally.
