Nvidia reports Tuesday: will it stand by forecasts set under Jensen Huang?

what happened

The Wall Street Journal, citing Morningstar analyst Brian Colello, lists the questions to watch before Nvidia's report on Tuesday. The main one is whether the company will keep forecasts issued under Jensen Huang's leadership, including 70% revenue growth for its 2028 financial year and a projection of $3 to $4 trillion in global AI spending by 2030.

Analysts also ask whether the US midterm elections, where many Democrats campaigned against data-center construction, led to any pause in orders. More commentary is also expected on Nvidia's financial support for some partners. Colello says the company has "explained its exposure well to date," but rising interest rates complicate the picture.

Colello does not expect a weak result. In his words, "we'd be stunned if Nvidia provided an earnings miss or weak forecast," pointing to heavy capital spending by big tech firms. He also judges that the underlying business is "a bit secondary for this quarter."

why it matters

Nvidia's report matters for the whole AI chip sector and for US equities, where the company carries a large weight. Answers on forecasts, demand and loans to partners will show how far investors trust AI spending to hold up as rates rise.
