From Nasdaq: 2025-02-21 07:05:00

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is set to report Q4 2025 results on Feb. 26, highly anticipated due to its influence in the AI and tech sectors. Stock dropped 17% over concerns about Chinese start-up DeepSeek. Shares were at $142.62 before the sell-off but closed at $139.23 on Feb. 19. Wall Street’s Q4 estimates project 70% revenue growth and 60% EPS growth.

Nvidia has a strong track record of beating Wall Street’s earnings estimates, with an average beat of 11% over the last 18 quarters and 8.8% for the most recent four quarters. Despite this, there is no clear correlation between earnings beats and post-earnings stock price movements.

For long-term investors, the timing of buying Nvidia stock before or after earnings should not make a significant difference. However, if timing concerns you, consider buying half your shares before and half after the earnings release. The Motley Fool Stock Advisor team does not currently recommend investing in Nvidia.
