Nvidia earnings
Nvidia’s earnings are scheduled to be announced on Wednesday night, with expectations high. At least seven analysts have upgraded or raised price targets for NVDA stock in the past several sessions.
Nvidia stock rose to an all-time high of 481.87 on the day, briefly edging out the short consolidation. But shares fell 2.8% to 456.68 points. The price is still above the 50-day line after rising 8.5% on Tuesday, triggering buy signals. The RSI line, the blue line in the provided charts, reached a new high on Monday.
Artificial intelligence stocks await Nvidia’s results
Meanwhile, AVGO and Marvell are down slightly, both facing resistance at the 50-day moving average. Marvell’s earnings are due on Friday, with Broadcom next week.
NOW rose slightly, and also reached the 50-day resistance. ADBE declined, continuing its short consolidation with support at key levels. Adobe and ServiceNow both have established AI partnerships with Nvidia. snowflake (snowWednesday night’s earnings could also drive software names, along with AI chip leader Nvidia.
MSFT stock remains below the 50-day line following the post-earnings sell-off. META stock is just below this key level, while Google stock is in overbought territory. All three are major buyers of Nvidia AI chips.
Stocks close to the 50-day lines can provide buy signals with a strong reaction to Nvidia’s earnings. But they can also be potential shorts.
Nvidia’s earnings should spur big moves for more speculative names like Palantir Technologies (PLTR) And C3. ai (Amnesty International).
Market rally analysis
Major indices pulled back from their highs on Tuesday morning to finish mixed, but the overall picture remained unchanged. The market continues to attempt to rise within an ongoing correction, with a narrow range for the time being.
Investors should look for a follow-up day to confirm the rally attempt. That could come as early as Wednesday, but it would be hard to get excited about FTD moments before Nvidia’s earnings. An FTD after Nvidia’s earnings Wednesday night or Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole Friday morning seems more plausible.
Also, if Treasury yields and the US dollar continue to rise, it is difficult to see the stock market continue to rally, especially high-value growth names.
While some technology stocks like Broadcom and ServiceNow may be in the works, don’t neglect the energy sector or various construction-related groups.
