The major culprit for the pullback in sales is the gaming segment. That might be the wrong way to view Nvidia ahead of earnings on Wednesday. The market has appeared to take the news in stride as if one bad quarter will assuredly be followed by a certain turnaround in fortunes. This carefree attitude regarding Nvidia is one reason why investors could easily be caught with their pants down. Wall Street consensus is for adjusted EPS of $0.52 for the quarter, which is well behind adjusted EPS of $1.04 in the second quarter last year. The decline in share price was short-lived, however, at just 10%, and the risk-on August market had NVDA retest the $192 level just a week later. Nvidia stock sold off initially after management said that guidance for $8.1 billion in Q2 revenue would instead come in at $6.7 billion. This was due to material weakness in the semiconductor market that was serious enough for management to try and pre-empt a major sell-off.Īlso read: Nvidia Stock Deep Dive Analysis: NVDA price target at $205 with strong revenue growth NVDA shares are flat in the premarket at $171.76 as the leading fabless semiconductor designer already released preliminary results at the beginning of the month. Nvidia (NVDA) will unveil earnings for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 after the close on Wednesday, August 24. Nvidia earned adjusted EPS of $0.51 in the second quarter, missing consensus by a penny.

This sharply lowered guidance for Q3 comes after management released preliminary Q2 revenue in early August that surprised the market with a $6.7 billion figure, well under the expected $8.1 billion. “We are navigating our supply chain transitions in a challenging macro environment, and we will get through this,” said CEO Jensen Huang. Management said they expected revenue of $5.9 billion for Q3 due to continued deceleration in the gaming segment.

Though it was the second quarter earnings that was the reason for the release, the focus was entirely on Q3. Shares are down a somewhat better 3% in Thursday's premarket at $167. UPDATE: Extremely poor guidance for the third quarter led Nvidia stock to sell off afterhours on Wednesday.

NVDA pre-reported Q2 revenue due to demand weakness.

Wall Street consensus is for adjusted EPS of $0.52 on $6.7 billion in sales.
