Nvidia Q2 Earnings
AI coin traders could see market volatility this week, driven by expectations for Nvidia’s earnings on Wednesday, August 27.
Wall Street analysts expect Nvidia to report adjusted earnings of $1.01 per share in its fiscal second quarter (Q2), according to Bloomberg.
This would mark a 48% increase year-on-year, with revenue of more than $46 billion, up 54% year-on-year.
“…Nvidia’s earnings aren’t just about one company — they’re about whether the AI cycle is strong enough…” writes Shay Boloor.
The second-quarter report will be released after the market closes on Wednesday, making it a focus for investors this week.
As the world's leading chipmaker by market Capital , Nvidia's results are indicative of the artificial intelligence boom, which means influence on AI coins.
Nvidia's earnings typically boost AI-related crypto Token like RNDR, FET, and AKT. Strong results fuel AI enthusiasm and speculative flows, while weak earnings can dampen momentum in AI-related crypto markets.
