Investors are closely tracking the slide in Nvidia and other AI-linked stocks as macro developments add pressure to markets during a crucial week.

  • Over three-fourths of retail investors expect Nvidia to beat expectations for revenue and profit again, according to a Stocktwits poll.
  • Retail sentiment for NVDA flipped to ‘bullish’ as of late Monday, from ‘bearish’ the previous day.
  • Fifty-nine out of 62 analysts have a ‘Buy’ or higher rating on NVDA, with a consensus price target that is 46% higher than the stock’s last close.

Nvidia Corp.’s shares fell for a seventh straight session on Monday, their longest losing streak in four years, even as investors and analysts broadly expect another strong report when the AI industry bellwether reports its results later this week.

NVDA stock fell 2.9% on Monday, bringing its cumulative seven-session decline to 7.5%. Stocks tied to the AI trade dropped on Monday, extending their bumpy stretch, with memory players SanDisk and Western Digital emerging as the top two losers on the S&P 500.

A host of factors, including fresh U.S. economic pressure on Iran and fallout from the Treasury Department’s surprise announcement last week that it would double longer-term bond buybacks, weighed on the market.

All eyes are on Nvidia’s report, which has become the biggest event of each quarter and could set the tone for tech stocks and the broader AI trade.

The chipmaker is set to report its second-quarter results after market hours on Wednesday, with analysts expecting sales to jump 97.2% to $98.18 billion, marking the fastest pace of growth in a year.

Retail Turns Optimistic As NVDA Slides

On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for NVDA flipped to ‘bullish’ as of late Monday, from ‘bearish’ the previous day. About 77% of the retail investors who voted in an ongoing Stocktwits poll expect Nvidia to beat expectations for revenue and profit. Eight percent expect Nvidia to miss profit estimates, while a similar share expect the company to fall short on revenue.

NVDA stock has declined despite posting remarkably strong results in the last four quarters, complicating the math for investors. 

“$NVDA popular opinion seems to be double beat and sell off. Sooo double miss and moon?” wrote a trader in comments to the poll. Another said: “$NVDA had a nice ride over the past 5 years… I suspect they will have a double beat, but the expectation and the bar will have been set so high that there will be a lot of volatility regardless.


NVDA has gained nearly 4% so far this month. Currently, 59 out of 62 analysts have a ‘Buy’ or higher rating on the stock, with an average price target of $304.73. The level implies an upside of 46% from the stock’s close on Monday.

NVDA: Other Catalysts At Play

Nvidia said Monday that SpaceXAI will use its Vera CPUs to power next-generation AI agent applications, marking the first deployment of the chips in a major AI infrastructure project.

SpaceXAI also plans to expand the AI infrastructure that supports Grok, using Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. Nvidia also confirmed its Vera Rubin rack-scale system, Groq 3 LPX, had entered full production. 

In recent days, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated its ‘Overweight’ rating on Nvidia, citing greater visibility into its data center business and a potential fourth-quarter IPO for Anthropic, a key Nvidia customer.

Investors are also watching for market developments, which typically have an outsized impact on large stocks like Nvidia. 

The Trump administration on Monday announced a possible expansion of sanctions on countries doing business with Iran as part of what it billed as an "economic D-Day" and separately announced 50% tariffs on automobiles and crucial raw materials from Canada.
