Nvidia Q1 Preview
The rebound among many chip stocks and the broader technology sector has been led by Nvidia’s strong performance. This makes Nvidia’s first-quarter report and outlook crucial after such an extensive rally over the first five months of the year.
AI Developments: Recent developments of a joint collaboration with Dell Technologies (DELL - Free Report) ) on generative artificial intelligence (AI) are intriguing and could help the guidance side of Nvidia’s Q1 report. Project Helix as the venture is called will assist businesses with using AI models to deliver better customer service, market intelligence, and enterprise research among other capabilities.
According to Zacks estimates, Nvidia’s Q1 earnings are projected at $0.92 per share, which would be a -32% decrease from Q1 2023 EPS of $1.36 a share. Although Nvidia is still dealing with a tougher operating environment amid high inflation its stock tends to pop after beating earnings expectations, especially when offering favorable guidance.
To that point, the Zacks Expected Surprise Prediction (ESP) indicates Nvidia could beat bottom-line expectations with the Most Accurate Estimate having Q1 EPS at $0.94. On the top line, sales are expected to be $6.52 billion, down -21% from the prior-year quarter.

Snowflake Q1 Preview
Software solutions provider Snowflake has commanded a premium in its realm similar to how Nvidia has among semiconductors and visual computing technologies. Snowflake’s data could capabilities and services have fostered the support of many notable investors. More upside in Snowflake stock will still rely on its Q1 results and guidance.
AI Developments: Notably, the database architect appears to be working on an intriguing artificial intelligence venture of its own with Snowflake reportedly in talks to buy AI search startup Neeva. Many analysts are very keen on the possibilities of the potential deal which could elevate and expand the software Snowflake provides along with its audience and end markets.
The Zacks Consensus for Snowflake’s Q1 earnings is $0.05 per share a seemingly small but 400% increase from Q1 2022 EPS of $0.01. The Zacks ESP indicates Snowflake should reach its quarterly earnings expectations with the Most Accurate Estimate also at $0.05 a share. Sales for the quarter are expected to be up 44% YoY at $607.57 million.

Even better, FY25 earnings are projected to climb another 33% to $6.03 per share. Sales are projected to rise 11% in FY24 and jump another 25% in FY25 to $37.42 billion.
