Nvidia to report first earnings since shock debut of ******** AI DeepSeek | Nvidia

Nvidia will deliver its earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2024 Wednesday evening, which investors will be watching closely for any signs of slowing demand for semiconductor chips. The chipmaker’s financials will face scrutiny over possible signals of an end to the AI-fueled market ***** that has propelled the company to a stratospheric valuation of $3.1tn.

Analysts expect Nvidia to maintain its leadership position as the maker of the AI industry’s favorite chips, but recent news has presented new potential challenges to the company’s ownership of the market. For one,

The introduction of DeepSeek initially sent Nvidia’s valuation tumbling by hundreds of billions because the ******** AI seemed to show that new models did not necessarily need to rely on Nvidia’s most expensive, top-of-the-line graphics processing unit (GPU), as most cutting-edge models out of the US do.

Despite the company’s past stellar performance, analysts expect investors to look for other signs that the company will be capable of meeting the moment as demand for the chips that power AI models remains steady.

“The key question for Nvidia’s Q4 earnings isn’t just about the numbers, but whether the company can maintain its commanding position as AI evolves,” said Jacob Bourne, a technology analyst at eMarketer. “Even if Nvidia posts another quarter of stellar growth, the market reaction will depend on how well it can convince investors that it can tackle these challenges.”

Some analysts predict the ripples from DeepSeek’s launch may not have an immediate impact on Nvidia but could allow competitors like AMD and Intel to “gain a foothold on the lower end of the AI infrastructure market”, said Alvin Nguyen, a senior analyst at Forrester.

“DeepSeek has established a new and lower base of performance for generative AI (specifically for chain-of-thought/reasoning models), allowing for more organisations to experiment with AI,” Nguyen added.
