Nvidia Earnings: Valuation at 5-Year Low! Can Nvidia Break "Earnings Curse"?

Tomorrow after the close, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ will report earnings.

On one side, Wall Street’s ever-rising expectations; on the other, macro geopolitical tensions, renewed tariff noise tied to Trump, and growing market anxiety over whether AI spending can stay this hot into 2027.

1. Earnings Expectations: Good News May No Longer Be Enough

Current consensus puts Q4 revenue around $57 billion, with data center expectations the most aggressive — analysts have lifted forecasts from about $52.7B six months ago to roughly $60.1B now.

Recently, even when Nvidia beats expectations, the stock hasn’t reacted strongly. Once “surprise” becomes standard, marginal impact declines. Options pricing currently implies about a ~6% move this week — in either direction.

2. Valuation Debate: Bargain or Value Trap?

Nvidia’s forward P/E is now below 24x — not only below its 5-year average (~38x) but close to the lowest level in five years.

For a stock once widely labeled “expensive,” it now arguably looks relatively cheap among mega-cap tech. If tomorrow’s guidance is solid, this valuation compression could become the trigger for fresh buying.

3. The “2027 Anxiety”: Is the Moat Still Intact?

Market concerns are focused on two main questions:

1. Can Big Tech Keep Spending? Microsoft, Google, and other hyperscalers are investing aggressively in 2026, but their cash flow outlook for 2027 looks less certain.

2. Beyond $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$, major tech players are developing in-house inference chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia. Current stock weakness partly reflects pricing in this potential competition risk.

But the good news is Nvidia has been trading in low range.

More than revenue numbers, we should watch how Jensen Huang frames the post-Blackwell roadmap. He needs hard data showing that even with in-house chips, Nvidia maintains dominance in AI inference.

If Jensen successfully reinforces the “inference leadership” narrative — combined with today’s compressed valuation — Nvidia could have room to restart its uptrend.

Is Tomorrow Nvidia’s Breakthrough Moment or a Trial by Fire?

With NVDA trading around $190, where do you think the stock goes?

A. Bullish Breakout — Toward $200
Blackwell shipments exceed expectations, Jensen silences doubters with strong dominance data, and the second leg of the AI bull market begins.

B. Sell-the-News Pullback — Toward $180
Solid earnings, but enthusiasm fades amid macro risks and profit-taking; institutions lock in gains and the stock searches for near-term support.

    Tomorrow after the close, all eyes are on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ . Expectations are high — around $57B revenue with aggressive data center forecasts — but at ~24x forward P/E, the stock already reflects a lot of skepticism. For me, it’s less about the beat & more about whether guidance proves AI demand into 2026–2027 is still solid. Options are implying roughly a 6% move, so volatility is almost guaranteed.

    The “2027 anxiety” is real, especially with hyperscaler capex questions & competition from AMD. Still, Nvidia’s ecosystem and inference leadership aren’t easily replaced. If Blackwell shipments and guidance are strong, sentiment can shift quickly. Jensen’s tone on the post-Blackwell roadmap will matter just as much as the numbers.

    I’m picking A — Bullish Breakout. With valuation compressed, solid execution could reignite momentum toward the $180–$200 range. Risk-reward, in my view, now favors upside surprise over disappointment.

    Analyzing the current landscape with NVDA trading at $190, both scenarios present compelling cases based on upcoming catalysts and market sentiment.

    While the long-term outlook remains overwhelmingly bullish with a path to $200+ driven by Blackwell, the short-term risk of a Sell-the-News pullback to $180 is high if the earnings report doesn't provide a massive "beat and raise" that overcomes the current mechanical market pressures.

    目前的共识是第四季度收入570亿美元,数据中心的预期最为激进——分析师已将预测从约六个月前为$52.7 B,现在约为$60.1 B.

    🌟🌟🌟作为一个“杯子半满”的人,我投A票,因为这是对我们这一代人最重要的基本故事的赌注。我投票支持看涨突破,因为我相信黄仁勋即将向怀疑者投掷“布莱克威尔大锤”。

    为什么?“看不见的”需求:当空头谈论资本支出疲劳时,Meta、微软和谷歌目前正在进行一场人工智能竞赛,不购买Blackwell芯片的成本远远高于芯片本身的价格。

    由于超出预期现在是基线,方向将由指导决定,而不仅仅是结果。

    如果黄仁勋确认Blackwell Ultra的出货量超过了已经巨大的需求,人工智能牛市的第二阶段就开始了。

    华尔街预计下一季度营收为711亿美元。如果NVIDIA的股价达到740亿美元以上,该股可能会突破195美元的阻力位并创下历史新高。

    我期待今天英伟达的烟花。

    i think $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ will pop after the announcement but then a day or two later the market will remember their war, tarrifs,  economy, or over investment fears and it will trend down again

    即使英偉達超出預期,該股也沒有做出強烈反應。一旦“驚喜”成爲標準,邊際影響就會下降。

    I am optimistic about $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ given the continued strong demand for AI. The stock should keep inching upwards for now, and I am expecting a 3-5% increase by the end of this week or next week.

    A: $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has strong earnings growth and momentum which increases likelihood of further price growth in the near term driven by data centre capex spend
