NVIDIA — fell more than 3% after six of ten reports despite ten beats; 73rd of 85 chip stocks this month
The Closelooknet read
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has beaten earnings and revenue estimates in all ten reports on our Print Record, yet it fell by more than 3% in the three sessions after six of them and rose by more than 3% after only two. The other two stayed within 3%. On average it moved 9.2% in either direction in the three sessions after each report. Over the past month it ranks 73rd of the 85 stocks in our chip section, even as it closed at a new 52-week high. What we watch: whether the next report lifts the gross margin above the 75.0% and 74.9% of the last two quarters, or leaves it on that line.
