Replying to @BernardGilbert:Hi, tks for reading my post and sharing your view. To me the worst case scenario is that earnings is "flat". Becos, its latest chip The Blackwell started delivery in Q4 only. For Q3, unless sales for its Hopper is stronger than Q2 or Q1, it may be able to fend off Wall Street Beats (speculators). Otherwise its closed call...//@BernardGilbert:NVIDIA's results could be a game changer! If they disappoint, we might be in for more volatility.
