The Economic Observer reports that on February 25, 2026, NVIDIA’s stock performed strongly, mainly driven by expectations of its upcoming quarterly earnings report.

Recent Stock Performance

As of the close on February 25, NVIDIA’s stock price was $196.15, up 1.71% for the day, reaching a three-month high. The opening price was $194.45, with a high of $196.56 and a low of $193.80, with a volatility of 1.43%. The semiconductor sector overall rose 1.86%, and the Nasdaq index increased 0.92%.

Reasons for Price Movement

Market optimism about NVIDIA’s fiscal Q4 2026 earnings (ending January 31, 2026) was the main driver. Wall Street analysts generally expect revenue to reach $65.8–66.2 billion, a 68% year-over-year increase, with EPS estimated at $1.47–$1.52. The data center business, as the core growth engine, is expected to generate over $60 billion in revenue, up about 69%. Additionally, the release of the new Blackwell architecture chips (with quarterly sales possibly reaching $11 billion) and news of collaborations with companies like Meta boosted market sentiment.

Industry Policy Status

Although NVIDIA’s valuation is at a historic low (forward P/E ratio below 24, near a five-year low), investors are shifting focus from “whether growth is strong” to “whether growth can be sustained.” The options market indicates traders expect stock price volatility of up to ±6% after the earnings report. Some analysts believe that even if the earnings are impressive, the stock may trade sideways due to “profit-taking,” and future catalysts will depend on new product launches at the March GTC conference.
