Nvidia May Not Beat Earnings This Time (Rating Downgrade)

Summary:

  • Nvidia’s Q2 FY2025 results were strong, but Q3 may not exceed forecasts significantly, leading to a potential stock price decline.
  • It’s hard to deny that there has been significant business growth in recent years, which explains Nvidia’s stock price performance – this is evident in the company’s EPS momentum.
  • Despite robust demand for AI and data center products, supply chain issues and geopolitical tensions pose risks to Nvidia’s short-term performance.
  • Analysts’ high expectations leave little room for Nvidia to impress, potentially signaling peak margins and growth rates.
  • I’m downgrading NVDA to “Hold” due to limited upside potential and risks of not significantly outperforming current consensus estimates.
