    Nvidia Q2 Earnings: Expected 97.2% Revenue Growth Amid 23.6x Forward P/E

    Question

    Nvidia Q2 Earnings: Expected 97.2% Revenue Growth Amid 23.6x Forward P/E

    Direct answer

    Nvidia's Q2 fiscal 2027 report is the primary focus for equity markets today. Analysts expect revenue to nearly double year-over-year, driven by continued data center demand. Despite the growth, the stock has underperformed recently, leading to a forward P/E ratio that matches the broader S&P 500 index. The company's recent $6 billion acquisition of Poolside AI suggests a strategic shift toward open-source model support to drive long-term chip demand. Investors will be looking for guidance on Blackwell production and the impact of rising HBM4 memory costs. — bearish pressure on SPY.
