What to watch going forward
China: Nvidia said its China business significantly declined during the quarter as it stopped shipping in that market. Jensen added that he expects the current quarter to be the same … but after that, hopefully, they can compete again in that market. So, now we wait until the next earnings call, not to see how this current quarter went in China but to see what they say about going forward
Competition: There was still no real competition in the AI chip space during Q4. Watch for how the ramp-up of AMD’s MI300 goes. AMD launched the AI chip in December, the last month of Q4. Now we watch how quickly it ramps up, how it fits into the marketplace, and most importantly if it starts to cause some compression in margins for Nvidia. It hasn’t happened yet but this is one to keep an eye on
Expectations: Here we are again … can Nvidia keep doing it? For the last couple of quarters, Nvidia hasn’t just beat expectations, they’ve destroyed them. For Nvidia stock to keep trading at its current level, they have to keep doing that. I wouldn’t bet against them doing the same thing in Q1 but any slight miss will likely punish the stock.
That’s going to do it for this edition of Finance Visualized!!
