NVIDIA [NVDA] is scheduled to announce its fourth-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2025 on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, after the market closes.
Analysts project a significant year-over-year revenue increase of approximately 75%, reaching $38.8 billion, with an expected earnings per share (EPS) of $0.86, marking a 66% rise.
This earnings report is particularly anticipated, as it will provide insights into NVIDIA's performance amid recent market dynamics, including competition from emerging AI firms.
Analysts and investors will be closely watching data center growth, AI-related revenue, and forward guidance to assess the company’s trajectory.
To keep an eye on as well:
- Nvidia has consistently beaten expectations, but last quarter’s "beat" was less significant, raising concerns about a potential AI spending slowdown.
- Nvidia is expected to benefit from rising capital expenditures in AI infrastructure, but geopolitical restrictions (e.g., US regulations on AI exports) pose risks.
- As in previous quarters, supply limitations remain the primary constraint on Nvidia’s AI chip business.
- DeepSeek’s AI model was trained with fewer GPUs, raising questions about future demand for Nvidia’s AI chips.
