NVIDIA (NVDA) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2020 results on May 16.
In the trailing four quarters, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice and missed it once, the average positive surprise being 8.17%.
Notably, in the last reported quarter, the company’s non-GAAP earnings per share of 80 cents topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents but tumbled 53% from the year-ago period as well as 57%, sequentially.
Revenues declined 24% year over year and 31% sequentially to $2.21 billion and also lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.37 billion.
Estimates and Guidance for Q1
For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, NVIDIA anticipates revenues of $2.20 billion (+/-2%).
The Zacks Consensus Estimate is also currently pegged at $2.20 billion, indicating a drop of almost 31.4% from the year-ago reported figure.
Further, the consensus mark for earnings currently stands at 82 cents, implying a plunge of 60% from the year-earlier reported number.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors at Play
NVIDIA, which has impressed investors with a stellar performance in the last couple of years, has been witnessing a downward trend since last October. A sharp decline in the Gaming segment is a major overhang on the company.
Notably, following tepid GPU demand from crypto miners, the company’s decision to suspend mid-range Pascal GPU shipments in order to normalize channel inventory levels is hurting its gaming revenues. Management expects revenues to decrease in the quarter under review as channel inventory is likely to be cleared by the end of the period to be reported.
Moreover, deteriorating macro-economic conditions, particularly in China, are inducing soft consumer demand for the GPUs. Further, sluggishness in the datacenter market also makes us apprehensive about the upcoming quarterly results.
However, NVIDIA’s confidence in its strategies and growth opportunities in ray-traced gaming, rendering, high-performance computing, AI and self-driving cars, is something to look forward to.
The company’s Turing GPU and its real-time ray tracing technology are witnessing a massive adoption, which is a positive. Moreover, autonomous vehicle development deals and the growing uptake of AI-based smart cockpit infotainment solutions are likely to drive automotive revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
What the Model Says
The proven Zacks model conclusively shows that a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has significantly high chances of beating estimates if it also has a positive Earnings ESP. Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell) stocks are best avoided. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
NVIDIA currently has a Zacks Rank #3, which increases the predictive power of ESP. However, its Earnings ESP of 0.00% in the combination makes surprise prediction difficult for the stock this reporting cycle.
Stocks to Consider
Following are a few stocks worth considering from the same space with the right mix of elements to beat estimates this earnings season:
Intuit (INTU - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.59% and a Zacks Rank #2.
GTT Communications, Inc. has an Earnings ESP of +71.88% and a Zacks Rank of 3.
