Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate NVIDIA's growth potential in the AI sector, which could be more robust than current models suggest.

Supporting Evidence

NVIDIA's recent product launches have received positive feedback, indicating strong market interest.

Options pricing suggests a larger move than historical averages, hinting at potential surprises.

Insider activity has shown mixed signals, which may indicate uncertainty among insiders about future performance.

Key Risk

If data center revenue comes in below $24B, the entire AI capex narrative unwinds.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's performance will hinge on NVIDIA's ability to sustain growth in its key segments amidst increasing competition.

Bull Confirmed If

Data center revenue growth of +20% YoY or better would confirm strong demand and operational efficiency.

Bear Confirmed If

Any decline in data center revenue or a significant miss on EPS would raise concerns about market demand.
