Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) closed at $243.06 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.13% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.03%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.36%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.04%.
Heading into today, shares of the maker of graphics chips for gaming and artificial intelligence had lost 9.29% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 4.86% and the S&P 500's loss of 3.08% in that time.
NVDA will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be November 8, 2018. On that day, NVDA is projected to report earnings of $1.93 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 45.11%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $3.25 billion, up 23.44% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $7.96 per share and revenue of $13.02 billion. These totals would mark changes of +61.79% and +34.06%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for NVDA should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
