$300 billion in shock! The options market is betting that NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) will fluctuate by nearly 8.5% after their earnings report.

NVIDIA Corporation's quarterly performance announced on Wednesday has attracted significant attention in the US options market. According to data from options analysis service ORATS, options traders expect NVIDIA Corporation to experience a market value fluctuation of nearly $300 billion after its earnings release, indicating an 8.5% price fluctuation due to its current market capitalization of $344 billion. This expected volatility would outshine approximately 95% of the stock market value of S&P 500 index components. Although NVIDIA Corporation's stock price performance after earnings announcements has typically been lower than market expectations, the founder of ORATS pointed out that the performance exceeding expectations tends to be upwards, with 5 out of the past 12 quarters resulting in stock price increases. Strategist Christopher Jacobson of Susquehanna Financial Group stated in a report on Monday that traders generally believe the likelihood of gold prices rising significantly is slightly higher than the risk of them falling. Options traders are reacting strongly to NVIDIA Corporation's earnings report due to its central position in the artificial intelligence boom, potentially making its performance a key factor in determining market trends. Especially following the stagnation in the market rebound after the US elections, investors are paying closer attention to NVIDIA Corporation's earnings. Nancy Tengler, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Laffer Tengler Investments, stated in a report that the market may see any statement from NVIDIA Corporation as a benchmark for the entire AI industry. Analysts anticipate that NVIDIA Corporation's growth rate will slow down, so how the company overcomes delays and supply chain issues will also be crucial in affecting its stock price. Over the past eight quarters, NVIDIA Corporation's revenue has consistently exceeded Wall Street's high expectations. According to data compiled by the London Stock Exchange, NVIDIA Corporation's third-quarter sales are expected to soar by 82.8% to reach $33.13 billion. Although NVIDIA Corporation's stock price closed down 1.3% at $140.15 on Monday, it has risen by approximately 180% so far this year, making it one of the best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 index. In conclusion, the market will infer based on what NVIDIA Corporation says about the entire AI industry, making the company's response to analysts' concerns about its growth rate and how it addresses supply chain issues crucial focal points for investors.
