On Wall Street, expectations and forward-looking statements are everything. For example, a company could presumably grow their earnings at 90% (which is a very healthy growth rate), but if Wall Street was expecting triple-digit EPS growth, the stock is likely to fall regardless. In addition, if a company reports earnings above Wall Street expectations but communicates an uncertain or slightly negative future quarter, investors will punish the stock.
In the case of Nvidia, expectations are sky-high. Zacks consensus estimates suggest that quarterly earnings will explode by 406%, year-over-year.

A Bullish EPS Surprise History
Though these expectations may seem unrealistic, NVDA’s EPS surprise history says they are possible. NVDA has beat consensus estimates for 18 of the past 20 quarters.
Odds of a Beat are High
Beyond NVDA’s strong EPS surprise history NVDA has a best possible Zacks Rank of Strong Buy. Zacks Investment Research’s extensive in-house back testing indicates that stocks with a rank of “Hold” (#3) or better coupled with a positive Earnings Surprise Prediction (ESP) score tend to beat on earnings and outperform, with all else equal.
“Blackwell” Commentary
Nvidia’s latest chip enables organizations to run large language models at up to 25x less cost and energy consumption than its predecessor. Investors will be watching any new commentary on the earnings conference call because Blackwell is seen as a major bullish catalyst by the street.
China Impact
Recent news headlines suggest that Chinese regulators urged local tech firms to buy fewer Nvidia chips. How will this impact the company’s outlook?
