Nvidia’s results are expected to draw a lot of attention from global investors. The financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025, ending January 26, 2025, will be released after trading hours on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at approximately 1:20 p.m. PT or 2:50 a.m. Indian Standard Time (IST).
Nvidia’s conference call will be on Wednesday, February 26, at 2 p.m. PT ( 5 p.m. ET or 3:30 am Wednesday, Indian Standard Time). Ahead of the call, Nvidia will provide written commentary on its fourth-quarter results from its chief financial officer, Colette Kress.
2025 so far has not been kind to Nvidia’s investors. Nvidia (NVDA), with a market cap of over $3 trillion, listed on Nasdaq stock exchange, is down 5.7% YTD and 1.8% over the last month. In January last week, Nvidia’s stock plunged as much as 13% in one day, wiping off nearly $465 billion from the company’s market capitalization, after the release of DeepSeek’s competing model. Since then, NVDA stock has been struggling to recover lost ground.
“Earnings from Nvidia after the close on Wednesday are the most notable risk event for participants to navigate, with focus likely to fall on NVDA’s guidance as to whether the current staggering pace of revenue growth, and wide margins, can be maintained,” says Michael Brown Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.
The demand for Nvidia’s AI products in the last quarter is uncertain, particularly following China’s DeepSeek impact. “The AI landscape is evolving very fast, as illustrated by the advent of China’s DeepSeek. But does this mean that end demand for powerful GPU’s is going to fall meaningfully? Or that the pace of building new data centers is going to drop off? We are arguing on both points, “no”. Investors need to stay focused on the path of earnings growth, which ultimately is what drives asset prices,” Stefan Hofer, managing director and chief investment strategist at LGT Bank (Hong Kong).
Nvidia is expected to report adjusted earnings of 85 cents per share in Q4, with revenue of $38.08 billion and net income of $19.58 billion.
“Given how DeepSeek’s emergence has made risks around the AI theme much more two-sided, any disappointments from the chipmaker are likely to be severely punished by market participants,” says Michael Brown Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone. The next level to watch for NVDA stock is around $120.Nvidia’s failure could hurt
AI-driven companies like Nvidia have contributed to the S&P 500’s record-breaking rise despite inflation concerns and potential economic damage from Trump’s policies.
Nvidia outperformed all 499 companies last year, accounting for over a fifth of the S&P 500 index’s total return. Failure to maintain momentum could pose challenges for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices.
Nvidia’s highly anticipated fourth-quarter earnings could be the catalyst that snaps the S&P 500’s four-day losing streak and reignites investor enthusiasm for AI and tech stocks, predicts Nigel Green, CEO of global financial advisory giant deVere Group.
Nvidia’s November earnings report showed a 206% revenue surge, boosting its stock price due to its AI boom, with demand surpassing supply. Green says, “However, it’s not just past performance that matters. Investors want guidance. Will Nvidia’s growth sustain at this breakneck pace? Can supply keep up with demand? And will CEO Jensen Huang signal even bigger AI ambitions?”
