Preview: NVIDIA to announce Q1 earnings this week, revenue surpasses expectations "a certainty"

Mars Finance News: On May 18, NVIDIA will release its Q1 FY 2027 results after the U.S. stock market closes this Wednesday (Thursday morning Beijing time), and will hold a conference call. The market generally expects NVIDIA’s quarterly revenue to reach about $78-79 billion, up roughly 78% year over year; earnings per share (EPS) is expected to be around $1.77, far above the same period last year. The biggest highlight of this earnings report is expected to be strong shipments from the Blackwell platform and continued hot demand in data centers. Analysts believe that if the results and Q2 guidance again come in above expectations, the stock price could continue to rise; conversely, any underperformance under a high valuation could trigger volatility and set off a chain reaction across global AI-related assets. According to market data, NVIDIA’s market capitalization has reached a record $5.46 trillion, and the stock is trading at $225.32. According to monitoring by PolyBeats, on the prediction market Polymarket, the probability that NVIDIA (NVDA) will beat Wall Street expectations (non-GAAP EPS greater than $1.77) this quarter is as high as 96%.
