Nvidia, the semiconductor manufacturer, was scheduled to report quarterly earnings results after the market’s close on Thursday.
The Santa Clara, California-based company announced late last month that it was lowering its quarterly guidance for what turned out to be "an extraordinary, unusually turbulent, and disappointing quarter."
Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, warned investors that declining macroeconomic conditions, particularly in China, impacted gaming graphics processing unit demand; the announcement sent shares plunging. The company cut its revenue guidance to $2.2 billion, plus or minus 2%. Previously, it expected revenue of $2.7 billion, plus or minus 2%.
Here’s what Wall Street was expecting for the company’s fourth-quarter 2019 results, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg:
- Revenue: $2.2 billion.
- Adjusted earnings per share: $0.78.
"Negative pre-announcement and Intel/AMD guidance sets a very low bar into this print," said Christopher Rolland, an analyst at Susquehanna, in a note to clients on Wednesday. He reiterated his bullish $170 price target and positive rating.
