Expectations are high for Nvidia's earnings. Momentum behind Nvidia's Blackwell ramp Wall Street majors view Nvidia's Blackwell platform — which should be generally available in the January quarter — as a multibillion-dollar revenue opportunity for the chipmaker. Nvidia had said in August that it expected about "several billion" in Blackwell sales during the January quarter. According to Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar, Nvidia could deliver between $5 billion and $8 billion of Blackwell revenue in the January quarter. Analysts are also largely undeterred by recent concerns about a recent report from The Information that Nvidia's Blackwell NVL-72 server racks are experiencing issues with overheating.

Tech companies that source a large part of their supplies from China could suffer under a second Trump term, according to Citi. Citi analyst Atif Malik shared a basket of stocks that have China manufacturing exposure and could therefore face ramifications going forward. While the company has a very high exposure to Chinese manufacturing, Malik said that Apple is currently making efforts to diversify its supply chain. "China is the main manufacturing location for Apple with more than 90% manufacturing in China, in our estimates," the analyst said. "Manufacturing is primarily conducted through contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers with manufacturing locations in China, Malaysia, Mexico, Taiwan, and Vietnam," he added.

Don't overlook the artificial intelligence potential of Cisco Systems , Citi said. "While AI is currently a small piece of the biz (~2% of revs), we see the potential for a stronger contribution," he wrote. At least three major hyperscalers have already begun using the company's tools in backend networks, and Malik views Cisco's recent $9 billion 2027 hyperscaler AI opportunity forecast as potentially understated. "We believe shares warrant a sizable discount to networking peer valuation to reflect lingering share loss concerns, somewhat tempered by growing AI opportunities," he wrote. "Even at a 30+% discounted target multiple to peer average, we see meaningful upside to shares."

Nvidia's upcoming stock split could propel the chipmaker higher over the short run and boost already enthusiastic investor sentiment, according to Wall Street. Nvidia's results prompted many Wall Street firms to boost their price targets on the stock as demand continues. While a split may improve accessibility by lowering the share price, it doesn't alter the value or fundamentals of the business. Citi's Atif Malik called the split a "positive surprise," while Susquehanna's Christopher Rolland said it "invigorates the retail crowd." "The 10:1 stock split likely adds short-term momentum to this AI bellwether," said Needham's Quinn Bolton.
