Is NOW the Right Time to Buy NVIDIA Stock?
In a Nutshell
Nvidia shows strong fundamentals with $16B quarterly revenue and healthy margins, trading near fair value of $241 versus the current $220 for about 9% upside to new highs. Historical post-earnings performance has been mostly negative, and the speaker won't add shares at current elevated prices despite bullish sentiment and momentum. Risk management through position sizing, stop-losses, and favorable risk-reward ratios is essential before entering any trade.

Nvidia is leading the semiconductor sector and the broader market with exceptionally strong fundamentals. On the daily chart, the stock has been very bullish and recently pulled back enough to establish support. Based on previous setups, Nvidia forms higher highs and higher lows. Technically, buying the dip for a long position offers approximately 9% profit potential if it reaches new all-time highs.
Nvidia plans to sell its H200 chips to 10 different China companies. This development was not previously factored into expectations. Additional information from the recent China trip may reveal how this benefits the company going forward and whether it could eventually open the door to selling their most powerful chips.
Despite the parabolic price movement, Nvidia is not overvalued in the same way as other hyped stocks like Intel. Fair value analysts estimate the stock is worth $241 while it currently trades at $220, representing 9% upside. The P/E ratio stands at 44.5 times earnings, which is high but reflects a premium for leading the AI space.
Nvidia generates nearly $16 billion in quarterly revenue. Its net income exceeds half of its revenue, with $120 billion in net income from $215-216 billion in revenue. The company is growing at an accelerated rate. Margins remain very healthy above 50%, allowing Nvidia to retain substantial profits even while making significant investments.
Investors should examine both the bull case and bear case to avoid bias-driven decisions. Understanding risks and favorable factors for the company is essential regardless of one's position.
For the upcoming earnings report, analysts expect EPS of $1.75 and revenue of $78.82 billion. Nvidia has consistently raised guidance expectations.
Over the last 10 earnings reports, Nvidia stock was green the day after only three times, with gains of 13% and 8.8% on those occasions. The other seven instances resulted in red closes. These historical odds are not favorable for post-earnings buying.
Current market sentiment, momentum, direction, and fundamentals are all strongly supporting Nvidia. Markets can sustain irrational valuations as long as the company does not disappoint. If Nvidia delivers strong results, it has earned the potential rally. The stock is not trading at an excessively high premium compared to competitors.
Markets have been sluggish over the past week. This earnings event could either provide the needed spark or represent a "buy the rumors, sell the news" scenario. External variables include rising inflation, a weak labor market, and elevated bond yields. Despite these uncertainties, AI continues to lead the market in the short term.
Traders and investors must calculate risk-to-reward before entering positions. This includes determining position size ($1,000 or $10,000), best-case and worst-case scenarios, exit plans, and stop-loss levels. Without proper planning, entering without a defined strategy is inadvisable. Tools are available to plan entry, exit, stop-loss, and share quantities for any trade direction.
If the risk-to-reward is not favorable, even potential upside may not justify taking the position.
At current elevated levels, Nvidia is not considered a particularly good deal without anticipating near-term pullback potential. The speaker remains invested from sub-$100 levels and sees no reason to add more shares at present prices.
While historical post-earnings performance has been more negative than positive, current sentiment for Nvidia is stronger than ever before. The speaker plans to livestream the earnings report and maintains a position established at lower prices.
Calculated risks should only be taken with capital one can afford to lose. Overleveraging through leveraged ETFs or options increases downside exposure significantly. Consistency with intentional, calculated trades over the long term outperforms high-risk, high-reward plays that carry greater potential for loss. Different investors have varying risk tolerances and styles.
The speaker does not plan to purchase additional Nvidia shares at current elevated levels despite recognizing 8-9% upside potential based on all-time highs, market sentiment, and momentum. Individual investment decisions depend on personal risk assessment and objectives.
