I've been writing about stocks and personal finance for 20+ years. I believe all great companies are tech companies in the long run, and I invest accordingly.
Microchips continue to be in focus, as the AI trade is still in play for most on Wall Street. A recovery looks like it is trying to get going in premarket trading.
REX NVDA Growth & Income ETF (NVII) offers a hybrid approach, combining covered calls and dynamic leverage to monetize Nvidia for income. NVII's partial overwrite (~50%) and leverage (105–150%) enable adaptive performance across bullish, sideways, and corrective Nvidia regimes. Empirical data shows NVII consistently tracks or outperforms NVDW and NVDY, minimizing structural weaknesses of both strategies.
Retail earnings to offer glimpse at household spending, NextEra-Dominion tie up would capitalize on AI power boom, the Warsh era begins, and more news to start your day.
Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) upcoming May 20 earnings report is expected to be a major market event, given the chipmaker's massive $5.5 trillion valuation and unprecedented influence on the sector.
Nvidia stock looked to be resuming its recent rally ahead of earnings on Wednesday.
Nvidia heads into its Wednesday, May 20 earnings report with the stock in the red in the latest market snapshot, even after a powerful run that took the shares to fresh record territory this month. The setup is classic Wall Street tension as expectations are high, the AI story is still intact, and investors are asking whether the current pullback is a chance to buy or a sign that the valuation is finally getting ahead of the numbers.
Nvidia remains a core holding, with robust revenue and earnings quality, but I refrain from further accumulation ahead of earnings. Hyperscaler capex, a strong leading indicator for NVDA revenue, shows continued growth but with recent QoQ slowdowns from Microsoft and Meta. Revenue surprises are shrinking as analyst expectations rise, suggesting NVDA may only meet consensus this quarter rather than beat it to the extent investors are used to.
Nvidia is set report crucial FQ1'27 earnings after the close on May 20 with the market forecasting 80% sales growth with ex-China sales growing at 105%. The AI chip company has a history of big quarterly beats despite analyst estimates forecast to top internal corporate targets. The company has the potential to see big sales upside from a return to Chinese AI chip sales, but Nvidia is unlikely to announce any details with the earnings report.
Nvidia remains a long-term buy ahead of its May 20th earnings, despite recent underperformance versus the semiconductor sector. NVDA's Q1 guidance assumes no China data center revenue; any positive China developments could be a significant upside catalyst. Demand for NVDA GPUs remains extremely high globally, with Blackwell B200s at 0% availability and rental rates elevated.
I keep hitting the buy button on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction), and the logic is embarrassingly simple.
Nvidia has seen euphoric options activity ahead of results. The stock appears to be in the midst of an epic squeeze. That options positioning may very well reset following results and the collapse in implied volatility.
