US Stocks End Mixed, Nvidia Dips 5% Post-Earnings


US Stocks End Mixed, Nvidia Dips 5% Post-Earnings

On Wednesday, US stocks closed mixed as the Dow rose 140 points while the S&P 500 remained flat. After hours, Nvidia released its much-anticipated quarterly earnings report, which fell short of sky-high Wall Street expectations, causing the stock to drop as much as 5% in extended trading. Investors also closely monitored remarks from several Federal Reserve officials.

The market was particularly focused on Nvidia’s results, given its leadership in the AI chip market. Nvidia’s Q3 revenue surged 94% year-over-year to $35.08 billion, exceeding analysts’ consensus of $33.25 billion. GAAP net income climbed 109% to $19.31 billion, also beating estimates of $17.4 billion. Adjusted EPS stood at $0.81, above the $0.74 consensus.

However, Nvidia’s Q4 revenue guidance disappointed bullish expectations. While its midpoint guidance of $37.5 billion surpassed Wall Street’s consensus of $37.1 billion, it fell short of buy-side analysts’ anticipated $38.8 billion. Goldman Sachs had projected Q4 revenue of $39 billion.

As a result, Nvidia’s stock dipped 5% after hours before narrowing losses to 2.5%. CEO Jensen Huang stated that Nvidia’s next-gen Blackwell GPUs are in full production and are expected to remain in high demand for several quarters.

Investors also kept a close eye on Fed officials’ comments. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman emphasized caution in further rate cuts, citing slower progress in reducing inflation. Notably, Bowman voted against the Fed’s 50-basis-point rate cut in September. CME’s FedWatch tool now shows a 55.8% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in December, down from last week’s 82.5%.
