Financial analysts predict a minimal increase in Nvidia's stock price on August 27. However, their assumptions might not hold, as explained below.
Nvidia's Q2 Results and Analyst Outlook
Nvidia, a leading player in the AI and semiconductor markets, is gearing up to release its fiscal 2026 second-quarter results on August 27. The tech giant has been making waves in the industry, with a year-to-date increase of more than 30%.
Wall Street analysts, while not anticipating a significant rise in the stock price in the short term, are optimistic about the longer-term prospects of Nvidia. In a survey conducted by LSEG in August, 58 out of 65 analysts rated Nvidia as a "buy" or a "strong buy."
The consensus estimate for Nvidia's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for the fiscal Q2 is $1.01. If Nvidia hits this estimate, it will represent a year-over-year growth of 48.5%. Similarly, the average estimate for Nvidia's fiscal Q2 revenue is $46 billion, indicating a year-over-year growth of roughly 53.1%.
Nvidia's strong performance can be attributed to its leadership in the AI and semiconductor markets. Analysts collectively assign high price targets up to $250 and bullish ratings such as "Strong Buy." However, the average price target for Nvidia's stock is only around 8% higher than the current share price, suggesting that analysts do not view the Q2 update as a significant catalyst for the stock.
Several of Nvidia's major customers, including Amazon, Microsoft, Google parent Alphabet, Meta Platforms, have discussed increased investments in AI infrastructure. This could translate to more demand for Nvidia's chips, further boosting the company's growth.
Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has also stated that the company is in talks with the U.S. government about selling more advanced AI chips to China. This potential development could be a catalyst for Nvidia's momentum.
However, it's worth noting that the analyst with a notably positive long-term view on Nvidia is not explicitly named in the available search results.
Despite the lack of a named analyst, the consensus among Wall Street seems to be that Nvidia remains a good pick for investors looking for long-term growth opportunities. The Blackwell GPUs ramp-up, the fastest in Nvidia's company's history, is a testament to the company's strong position in the market.
As Nvidia prepares to release its Q2 results, investors will be closely watching to see if the company can continue its impressive growth trajectory.
