Analysts expect Nvidia (NVDA) to report second-quarter adjusted earnings per share and revenue that more than doubled over the past year, to $0.64 on $28.67 billion.
NVDA’s report comes after the stock jumped about 28% following a selloff in August that swept the broader market. “We’ve argued that future gains in global technology stocks should be more gradual after a rapid recovery over the past three weeks, with headwinds from U.S. macro data and further news on semiconductor export controls likely to add to volatility,” Marsili said.
“However, we continue to take a positive structural view on the broader topic of AI,” she added.
Investment in AI is set to continue to grow, UBS said, with big tech companies on track to increase their capital spending this year by 43% year-over-year. “However, the capex intensity — capital spending divided by sales — of big tech companies remains below its historical peak,” Marsili said.
UBS analysis shows that capital spending by big tech companies could grow by as much as 25% in 2025, which “bodes well for AI capabilities in semiconductors,” it says.
