The AI company Nvidia – that’s what I call the technology giant by now – will soon announce its quarterly figures: The 4th quarter is on the test bench on February 21st. The stock markets are eagerly anticipating this date with ever new record prices. For you, this could potentially open another window, at least the stock will have a significant impact on the entire technology industry.

The numbers will be surprising in two days – in any case, Nvidia has surprised the stock markets with its quarterly figures both in the summer and in the fall of last year: positively. Especially in late summer, analysts were left embarrassed by their previous estimates.

Originally, the consensus among analysts was that the quarter would bring in a revenue of $7.2 billion. During the quarter, Nvidia itself corrected these numbers and announced that it would generate a revenue of $11 billion. The AI boom had begun – and this is important for the entire industry as well as for other companies (such as smaller companies like software manufacturer Palantir, which is also experiencing a record hunt, as well as for Microsoft and Co.).

However, Nvidia underestimated its own revenue. In reality, the company generated a revenue of $13.4 billion, which is almost 100% more than originally expected by analysts. In the fall, Nvidia exceeded the analysts‘ estimates by another 10%. Now, in my opinion, Nvidia will „definitely“ surprise again. In one direction or another. Personally, I believe that the AI boom is currently exceeding all expectations.

Of course, the stock is expensive. As a result, no one really knows the exact numbers. This is not such a big deal, however, because a) the direction is what really matters – revenues and net profit should continue to climb. The current revenue margin for the company is just over 60%, so the increase in revenue would definitely be profitable.

In addition, b) it is crucial that the stock is already expensive. It cannot be measured by normal standards. The P/E ratio for the new year, which has already begun, is certainly more than 50.

Therefore, anyone who invests in the stock will have to pay a lot of money – and all of this in the hope that the AI industry in general and Nvidia will continue to grow strongly. Personally, I am counting on the AI boom and its increasing numbers. However, there are certainly cheaper stocks, such as the classics like Microsoft. Nevertheless, mark February 21st on your calendar for Nvidia.
