Analysts are calling for earnings of $1.53 per share, up 71.9% year over year, on revenue of $65.7 billion — a 67.0% increase year over year. digital8hub Analysts say the release will primarily focus on future chip demand. "While the themes around AI disruption and return on investment will be relevant, the release will primarily focus on future chip demand," says Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com. digital8hub Earnings expectations for Nvidia are exploding, says John Belton, portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. Wall Street "has become accustomed to very consistent beats and guides above the street," and the portfolio manager believes we "could get a big beat" this time around — but what Wall Street really wants to hear is the chipmaker's guidance beyond this quarter. digital8hub The Blackwell Supercycle — The Story Behind the Numbers To understand what's driving Nvidia tonight, you have to understand Blackwell — the company's latest and most powerful AI chip architecture. On the Q3 call, Jensen Huang laid out $500 billion in combined Blackwell and Rubin visibility through the end of calendar 2026, with roughly $150 billion already shipped as of last quarter — leaving $350 billion in the pipeline over the next year. Management said the GB300 chip "crossed over" the GB200 and now represents about two-thirds of total Blackwell revenue. Jensen described demand as "off the charts" and said "the clouds are sold out" with installed GPU capacity fully utilized. Rocket Launch This extraordinary demand backdrop has only intensified since Q3. These quotes were made before Meta announced capital expenditures of $115–135 billion, Alphabet guided to $175–185 billion, and Amazon guided to $200 billion — all dramatically ahead of Wall Street's expectations. Rocket Launch Every dollar of that hyperscaler AI capex flows directly to Nvidia's top line. Q3 Was Already a Record — Can Q4 Top It? Last quarter, Nvidia posted record revenue of $57.0 billion, up 22% from Q2 and up 62% from a year ago. Data Center revenue hit a record $51.2 billion, up 25% from Q2 and up 66% from a year ago. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were both $1.30. Spaceflight Now Nvidia topped revenue expectations by $2 billion last quarter, with networking revenue more than doubling to $8.2 billion. Gross margins came in at 73.6% non-GAAP, ahead of guidance. Rocket Launch The Q4 guidance issued at that time was striking: revenue was expected to be $65.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with non-GAAP gross margins expected to be 75.0%, plus or minus 50 basis points. Spaceflight Now Tonight's results will show whether Nvidia has once again outpaced even its own ambitious targets. The Key Questions for Tonight Beyond the headline numbers, several critical questions will dominate the analyst Q&A session at 5 pm ET: 1. Guidance — Will Nvidia top $75 billion? With GB300 production in full swing and the potential for China sales returning in guidance, Nvidia delivering guidance above $75 billion could truly "wow" Wall Street. Rocket Launch 2. China — Is There a Path Back? China sales essentially disappeared due to export restrictions, with Jensen Huang acknowledging H20 chip sales were only around $50 million in Q3 after "sizable purchase orders did not materialize." Rocket Launch Any hint of a China sales recovery would be a significant market catalyst. 3. Gross Margins — Can They Hold at 75%? CFO Colette Kress said the company is working to hold margins "in the mid-seventies" for fiscal 2027 despite rising component costs. Rocket Launch Margin guidance will be scrutinised closely. 4. Agentic AI — The Next Growth Frontier. Agentic AI adoption is accelerating, with companies pioneering applications that reason, plan, and use tools autonomously. Jensen called this wave "revolutionary" and said it's giving rise to entirely new categories of software — another leg of demand Nvidia is uniquely positioned to capture. Rocket Launch Market Mood Going In U.S. equity futures are firmer ahead of Nvidia's earnings release, with chipmakers driving a rally in Asian markets and European markets also in the green. digital8hub Nvidia's stock was up approximately 1% heading into today's session — markets are cautiously optimistic, but bracing for the kind of volatility that only Nvidia earnings can generate. Nvidia is currently trading at 24x forward earnings — but that assumes $7.76 in EPS across the next year. If Nvidia delivers strong guidance driven by resumption of China sales and hyperscaler demand for GB300 systems, a significant upward re-rating is likely.
