Nvidia is set to report third-quarter results on Tuesday, its first major report since CEO Jensen Huang’s departure was announced this week.
Investopedia calculations suggest that options traders think the stock could swing 8% in either direction by the end of next week.
Nvidia reports earnings next week. You’re forgiven if the numbers aren’t top-of-mind right now.
The company is scheduled to report its third-quarter results after the closing bell on Tuesday. Wall Street expects revenue of $109.4 billion and net income of about $60.9 billion, according to Visible Alpha’s analyst survey; the company said in August that it expected $108 billion in revenue.
Nvidia’s (NVDA) results are the highlight of each quarter’s earnings season until they’re not—and for now, that’s likely still the case. Investors will be looking as always for clues as to the direction for the AI buildout and the trade that’s been constructed around it. That trade has taken some hits lately amid not only the uncertainty at Nvidia but increased scrutiny of AI’s payoff and even rate-hike worries.
But what we might learn about Nvidia and its outlook from its numbers and conference call is only part of the story: Who will deliver the numbers looms at least as large, with Colette Cress, Nvidia’s CFO since 2013, now its acting CEO in the wake of co-founder Jensen Huang’s departure this week.
Investors may in particular watch for commentary on the company’s opportunity in China, with Huang reportedly having had a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy who was also an executive at an Nvidia partner.

The Huang news has been brutal for Nvidia’s shares, which as of Friday’s close were down 12% this week and more than 30% off October’s record high.
The volatility could continue: According to Investopedia calculations based on options pricing and today’s close, the stock is expected to move about 8% in either direction by the end of next week. That could pull the shares above $176 or below $150.
Shares of Nvidia were down more than 3% Friday to around $163. Read our full coverage of today’s trading here.
