NVIDIA Crashes on Dismal Outlook: Should You Buy Its ETFs?
Read MoreHide Full Article
NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) was the worst performer in Friday’s trading session, as the stock tumbled as much as 20% — its worst one-day drop in more than a decade. This has erased more than $23 billion from the stock’s market capitalization. The massive loss for this small chipmaker came following disappointing third-quarter fiscal 2019 results and a dismal outlook (read: Chip Stocks See Worst Day in a Decade: ETFs in Focus).
Earnings per share came in at $1.67, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by six cents but improving 38% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues climbed 21% year over year to $3.18 billion but fell short of the estimate of $3.24 billion.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, NVIDIA expects revenues of approximately $2.70 billion (+/-2%). This is much below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.40 billion. The company cited that booming revenues from selling its graphics chips to cryptocurrency miners appears to be over at least for now.
Depressed by reduced demand for high-end chips for mining cryptocurrencies, more than half of the analysts who cover the stock lowered their target price on the stock with the average price target now being $246.71, down from a pre-earnings average of $285.94.
With the latest slide, the stock has now dropped more than 40% from a record high in early October. However, the beaten down prices could be a solid buying point for investors given that its data center and gaming business will continue to grow as both data center graphics processing unit market and gaming GPU market expand. Additionally, NVIDIA has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and solid Growth Score of B. It further belongs to a top-ranked Zacks Industry (top 42%).
