(LIVE NOW) NVIDIA EARNINGS REPORT 2026
In a Nutshell
Nvidia beat Q1 2026 earnings and revenue estimates, driving the stock from a brief -1% dip to a 1.4% gain above $226, but the speaker warns that near all-time highs plus macro risks (inflation, weak jobs, geopolitics) make it no bargain and that a 20% pullback is the preferred entry. Historically, Nvidia has closed red the day after six of the past nine reports, so the speaker, a long-term holder, will not add at these levels or short the name. Viewers are urged to keep position sizes small, take partial profits into strength, and wait for oversold prices rather than chase elevated valuations.

Nvidia is expected to report earnings per share of $1.75 and revenue of $78.82 billion. The company is the most valuable publicly traded company with $216 billion in revenue and $120 billion in net income at over 50% margins. It trades at a 45 P/E ratio. Despite strong fundamentals, the speaker notes it's not considered a good deal for short-term volatility, though sentiment remains strong for AI and semiconductors.
Based on the past nine Nvidia earnings reports, three have been green and six have been red. Statistically, Nvidia has been more bearish than bullish after reporting earnings, though current AI sentiment is noted as exceptionally strong.
Despite inflation reaching highest levels since 2022 and a weak labor market, there's strong optimism for AI. The speaker acknowledges the economy is in a recession but chooses not to discuss it during this stream.
A poll shows 61% of viewers believe Nvidia is a buy. The speaker notes Nvidia reports earnings approximately 20 minutes after market close.
Markets closed with new highs at 713. Nvidia traded in a range from $220 to $226, currently around $223.50.
Target (TGT): Beat earnings expectations but dropped from highs of $131 to lows of $117. Maintains neutral rating with $122 price target. P/E ratio at 14.9x with $104 billion revenue and $3.7 billion net income.
ServiceNow: Down over 50% from 2025 highs of $239 to around $100. P/E ratio at 60 despite the decline. Jensen Huang commented that people are mispricing the company's value. Revenue at $13-14 billion with $1.7 billion net income.
Walmart and Costco: Both performing well with strong ascending trends, though considered overbought. These represent long-term investment holdings rather than trading positions.
NIO is examined as a Tesla competitor. The company loses $2.2 billion annually with $12.5 billion in revenue. Revenue is increasing while net losses are improving. The company is China-based and benefits from government assistance for EV and semiconductor innovation.

The speaker views Nvidia as an investment, not a trade. Nvidia has 95% odds of beating earnings expectations. The speaker won't bet against Nvidia or short the stock, but also won't buy more at current elevated levels.
Nvidia earnings typically cause 3-6% market moves. The speaker advises that high volatility periods are not ideal for beginners due to greater risk management requirements. Beginners should not over-leverage or use money they don't have.
Nvidia beat both earnings and revenue expectations. Initial reaction showed the stock down 1%, then recovering to break even and eventually reaching new highs above $226 with a 1.4% gain.
Nvidia's movement influenced the broader market:
- Nasdaq down 0.5%
- SQQQ up 1.2%
- ServiceNow down 1.1%
- Intel down 1.5%
- SanDisk down 1.5%
- Micron down 1.58%
- AMD up and resilient despite sector selling
AMD showed particular strength, doubling from sub-$200 levels and not selling off with other semiconductor stocks.
The speaker notes that Nvidia's earnings call with Jensen Huang and executives could provide additional guidance, particularly regarding H200 chips and potential orders from 10 new Chinese companies following recent China trip discussions.
While Nvidia's P/E ratio isn't considered expensive by traditional standards, the speaker questions paying premium prices given potential short-term volatility from inflation, weak labor markets, Middle East tensions, and oil prices. The recommendation is to wait for potential 20% pullbacks rather than FOMO into elevated levels.
The speaker reiterates that historically, Nvidia tends to be down the day after earnings results, providing statistical context for the observed volatility.
Sentiment is so strong for Nvidia that we can't be surprised if it does end in the green. The analysis covers both the great points that Nvidia is really achieving lately and some uncertainty in the short term. Nvidia went back in the red after showing a lot of volatility.
The discussion covered Nvidia reporting earnings by looking at it fundamentally and what has happened in the past before the earnings report and the earnings call. The different types of waves that buying and selling pressure can follow were examined.
We can never predict the future, but you can always prepare in the positions that you have open. If you knew that a lot of volatility was going to present itself today and maybe you don't emotionally do well with that, you just close out your position. It's the simple things in life that a lot of traders over complicate with position size management, not taking profits, risk management, not focusing on risk to reward ratios, or during unfavorable conditions, knowing when to stay cash.
If you're invested, you shouldn't really care just like the speaker who doesn't care if Nvidia is up 2% today or down 2% tomorrow. It's insignificant for long-term investors who ride the waves up and ride the waves down. Anytime it sells off enough, buying more is preferred to focus on deals.
Nvidia is trading at a price level right now that technically speaking analysts view to be cheap, but it doesn't mean that it can't get cheaper. It's likely to pull back since it's nearly at all-time highs. The reality is that anyone will try to justify that you need to buy Nvidia right now, but Nvidia is not a killer deal. Even if 10 years from now it's going to be trading at a higher price per share, beginners probably don't have the experience nor the stomach to tolerate that type of volatility.
If you're not in a rush, why rush to get in when it's just going to encourage you to rush to get out if it ends up going against you. Be mindful of your position size, keep it light, keep it tight, and enjoy the process. Make sure that you're invested in good quality companies that are actually growing and that hopefully aren't just a bunch of hype.
Dumb money never sells to take profits. Knowing when to trim or just reduce your position a little bit can play a really big role to better prepare you for when downturns do present themselves so you're just able to have some money on the sidelines to be able to buy more at cheaper levels.
As time goes on, the performance of these very popular stocks serves as examples on why people should be patient during elevated levels and encouraged to seek deals when they're at oversold levels. It all makes sense as time goes on.
