<\/p>\nOptions traders are pricing in about a $260 billion swing in Nvidia’s , opens new tab market value following the chipmaker’s second-quarter earnings expected on Wednesday, U.S. options market data showed.<\/p>\n
Nvidia options implied a roughly 6% swing for the shares in either direction following the results, which will be reported after markets close on Wednesday, according to the data.<\/p>\n
“The ripples out of Nvidia might be more interesting than the actual move for Nvidia,” said Chris Murphy, co-head of derivatives strategy at Susquehanna, a market maker.<\/p>\n
“A lot of these really high-flyer, speculative AI names have come off a lot, but Nvidia is basically back right below its all-time high.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Should the chipmaker’s results exceed expectations, Murphy said that would “support some of the harder hit, more speculative areas of the AI trade.”<\/p>\n
Over the last 12 quarters, Nvidia’s implied earnings move averaged 7.7%, while the average actual move was closer to 7.6%, according to data from ORATS.<\/p>\n
After a huge rally that helped lift markets this year, the technology sector pulled back a bit this month on fading enthusiasm for those stocks.<\/p>\n
Traders are now eying Nvidia earnings to see if its $4 trillion market valuation is justified. Additionally, the potential impact on its forecasts from a recent revenue-sharing deal with the U.S. government will be closely watched.<\/p>\n
Shares of Nvidia, the semiconductor giant at the heart of the AI trade, have gained about 34% this year, and closed up 1.02% on Monday at $179.81. The S&P 500 (.SPX), opens new tab fell 0.43% to 6,439.32 on the day and was up 9.5% year-to-date.<\/p>\n
“It’s been (on) an amazing run,” said Matt Amberson, founder of ORATS. “It’s just a Goldilocks time for Nvidia.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Options traders are pricing in about a $260 billion swing in Nvidia’s , opens new tab market value…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,44],"tags":[46,48,49,58],"class_list":["post-2118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-national","category-tech","tag-africa","tag-feature","tag-human-interest","tag-national","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n
