Read MoreHide Full Article
Backed by the optimism of Wall Street analysts, Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) has been on an uptrend ahead of its second-quarter fiscal 2021 earnings scheduled on Aug 19. The stock hit a new all-time high and is up nearly 16.2% so far this month. Notably, NVDA shares are up 40% over the past three months (read: Semiconductor ETFs Roaring to New Highs on Solid Earnings).
The solid trend is likely to continue as the graphics chipmaker has solid fundamentals.
Earnings Whispers
According to our methodology, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. Nvidia has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
The videogame-gear specialist saw no earnings estimate revision over the past 30 days for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The company’s earnings surprise history is solid. It delivered an earnings surprise of 10.40%, on average, over the past four quarters. Additionally, Nvidia is expected to post substantial earnings and revenue growth of 56.45% and 41.71%, respectively, for the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the average target price is $401.31 with nearly 86% of the analysts giving a Strong Buy or a Buy rating ahead of the company’s earnings.
What’s Hot?
Several analysts like Raymond James, Wells Fargo, Oppenheimer and Wedbush among others raised the price target on Nvidia, citing that the chipmaker will benefit from strong sales of processors for cloud data centers and gaming PCs.
ETFs in Focus
Given the optimism, investors could focus on ETFs having the largest allocation to Nvidia. Below are five ETFs with the highest allocation to NVDA that could make compelling plays ahead of the earnings report:
