Nvidia’s Momentum Holds Ahead of Earnings, But Risks Loom

Nvidia’s meteoric rise in recent months has firmly cemented its place among the world’s most valuable companies. Its shares briefly surpassed Apple’s in market cap, driven in part by CEO Jensen Huang’s announcement that Nvidia would open its AI system racks to third-party chipmakers. This unusual move was seen as a strategic masterstroke, allowing Nvidia to entrench itself deeper in AI infrastructure while bringing in early collaborators like Marvell and Qualcomm. Notably, key rival Broadcom was absent from the list—raising eyebrows but also reinforcing Nvidia's careful partner selection.

This development comes just as Nvidia prepares to report fiscal Q1 2026 results after market close on May 28. Wall Street is watching closely, especially after a blowout fiscal Q4 in which revenue jumped 78% year-over-year to $39.3 billion and EPS soared 82% to $0.89.
