Welcome to Nvidia week

Welcome to Nvidia week 👑

A look at the coming week: Nvidia draws attention 📡

On Wednesday after hours, Nvidia ($NVDA) is expected to release its quarterly results – a moment that draws the entire market's attention. 👀

Jensen Huang emphasized at GTC that the discussion about an "AI bubble" is simply irrelevant right now, and argued that the industry is about to enter a golden growth cycle thanks to continuous investment increases from giant cloud providers and Neo Cloud companies. 💭

Investors will focus this time especially on the progress and distribution rate of Blackwell and Rubin under the existing production constraints. 😵

On the regulatory side, the US has not yet approved Blackwell for China, and simultaneously, the Chinese regulator is warning local companies against ordering the company's products – as a result, most analysts do not attribute significant expectations for revenue from China. ⛔️

Any slight positive change could become a significant positive driver.✨

Thursday: Walmart's earnings move the retail sector. ‼️

Another focal point comes from Walmart ($WMT), which will release its results before the market open. 🔔

The company has already warned that the consumer is still strong – but the cumulative impact of tariffs is starting to emerge, and will become more prominent later in the year. ⚠️

Investors will monitor the company's assessments regarding inflation and its ability to maintain profitability during a period of rising costs.🛍️

The world of technology – focus on software 🖥 Beyond Nvidia, attention in the tech sector is shifting towards software and SaaS: 💻

$VEEV – dedicated cloud for the biotech and pharma industry $PANW – cybersecurity $INTU – financial and core business software $ESTC – strong data platform $ESLT – also Israeli, also high-tech, also defense

Consumer sector: a week full of earnings reports 🛒

In the consumer sector, we will see a large wave of publications that could affect the entire market:

Home improvement retailers: $HD, $LOW 🏗 Large discount chains: $TGT, $TJX, $ROST 🛒 Fashion: $GAP 🧳 Membership clubs: $BJ ⭕️

The main factor to watch: 🔍

The impact of tariffs on the American consumer and on company margins. ⚠️

Additionally, it's worth keeping an eye on $ZIM, after the cessation of port fee collection – we might see hints of strong expectations for the holiday season. 🛥

David Tepper reports doubling down on China – just before earnings 🎲

David Tepper, head of Appaloosa and one of Wall Street's sharpest traders, increased his positions in Chinese stocks. 🇨🇳

Exactly this week, the following are expected to release earnings:

$BIDU, $PDD, $XPEV, $IQ, $WEB. Beyond examining Tepper's strategy, the reports also allow for checking the progress rate of companies in cloud, autonomous vehicles, AI, and robotics. 🤖

And also – whether Baidu can finally collaborate with Apple in the Apple Intelligence field – a move that could be dramatic for the market. 🐉
