Jim Cramer Warns Nvidia Earnings May Not Be Enough to Satisfy Wall Street

📄Full Article· Automatically extracted by trafilatura2878 words

Nvidia (NVDA) reports fiscal first-quarter (Q1) results after the close Wednesday. Wall Street models near $79 billion in revenue, while buyside desks whisper closer to $81 billion. The chipmaker enters the print priced for perfection. Shares closed at $220.61 on Tuesday after rallying from $165 in late March. That leaves little room for disappointment on guidance or margins. Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens Buyside Whispers on Nvidia Earnings Push Bar Above Street A JPMorgan-distributed table shows the gap. NVDA’s official guide sits at $78 billion against Street consensus of $78.6 billion. The buyside survey mean sits at $80.97 billion. Forward expectations diverge even more. Buyside desks pencil in $89.71 billion for the July quarter and $9.42 in full-year FY27 EPS. Sell-side consensus for the next guide sits closer to $85 to $87 billion. The setup matters because Nvidia shares have already rallied. NVDA peaked near $235 last week before pulling back to current levels. Options markets are pricing an 8 to 10% move on the print. Cramer Warns of Familiar Sell-the-News Pattern According to Jim Cramer, the post-earnings playbook for NVDA has become predictable. He warned of an initial spike before a sharp reversal. “The Nvidia pattern we are all now used to: an initial fly-up, lasting 10-12 minutes, then a relentless hammering that takes the stock to where it breaks the chart. Do not be fooled by the first move…” the Mad Money host wrote in a post. His warning aligns with recent earnings reactions. Even when NVDA beats consensus, the stock has often given back gains as positioning unwinds. Bloomberg framed the print as a potential rally trigger but flagged the risks. In the same tone, Coin Bureau’s Nic Pucrin said the day carries equal weight from the April Fed minutes due earlier in the afternoon. “Earnings from Nvidia, the world’s biggest company, could be just the catalyst investors need to reignite the tech-stock rally. But risks abound,” wrote Bloomberg. Guidance Will Drive NVDA, Not the Beat Desks now treat the Q1 beat as a near-certainty. The real catalyst sits in the July guide and CFO Colette Kress’s commentary on Blackwell, China, and gross margins. Nvidia’s current outlook assumes zero data-center compute revenue from China due to export controls. Any change to that assumption would move the stock more than the headline beat. A Q2 guide below roughly $87 billion would confirm the priced-for-perfection thesis for NVDA. That outcome could trigger the kind of post-print drawdown Cramer described. The macro setup adds risk. April’s Fed minutes, due the same afternoon, are expected to show the most dissents on a rate decision since 1992. Rising bond yields and sticky inflation prints have also revived rate-hike chatter. A hawkish read paired with a soft NVDA guide would compound pressure on the AI trade.
