Why NVDA Earnings Could Shake Up the Entire Market

Jack Carter | February 25, 2025

Hey Traders,

The market feels fragile right now.

A little bit of selling, and prices drop like a rock.

And there’s one big reason why — everyone is holding their breath for NVDA earnings.

Tomorrow, after the market closes, NVDA will release its latest earnings report… and I have to tell you, I wouldn’t be surprised if the stock trades down after hours.

Not because the report will be bad — but because it’s never enough.

Why NVDA Earnings Are a Big Deal

Right now, NVDA is the darling of the AI world.

And when you’re sitting at the top, investors expect perfection.

Even if the numbers come in strong, we could still see a selloff just because investors are impossible to satisfy.

And honestly? I’d welcome it.

Because what needs to happen with NVDA is what I call a changing of the hands.

That’s when all the weak, short-term traders get flushed out, and the stock moves into stronger hands.

And that’s what creates real buying opportunities.

Why This Matters for the Whole Market

NVDA isn’t just any stock — it’s a bellwether for the entire chip sector.

So what happens after NVDA earnings? The reaction — good or bad — going to spill over into other stocks:

→ If NVDA sells off? Chip stocks across the board will drop in after-hours trading and into the open on Thursday.

→ If NVDA spikes higher? You’ll see a rising tide lift all boats. Every chip stock out there will likely catch a sympathy bid.

That’s why a lot of traders won’t even touch NVDA directly — they’ll wait for the report, then jump on another chip stock.

That’s not a bad idea…

But I’ve got an even better one…

How I’m Trading This Earnings Event

First off, no surprise here — I’m long NVDA.

And I’m staying long.

I don’t care what happens tomorrow — I believe in the bigger picture for AI.

But at the same time, I’m not just sitting on my hands.

I’m taking advantage of this earnings event in a unique way that nobody else I know is even thinking about.

And tomorrow, I’m going to tell you exactly how.

In fact, you might even get to watch me do it live.

But you gotta be there.

Trade well,

To help you discover the power of trends, every week I share with you a handful of the top trending stocks.

These stocks are picked by my purpose-built, custom-made TrendPoint software to pick the strongest trending stocks in the market right now.

If you know anything about me, you know that every trade I get into starts with a trending stock.

Unless a stock is in a strong trend, I don’t want to hear about it. In my book, wishy washy stocks are the quickest way to losing money.

This Week’s Stocks

Markets sold off big. When markets are weak, we look for stocks that have been sailing through the chaos without problems. And that’s what I’m sharing with you this week:

  • FOXA (on last week’s list, too!)
  • FTNT
  • NI

And don’t forget about last week’s list, which you can find here.

What can you do with these stocks?

Well, there are a couple of things you could consider — after doing your own research, of course:

  1. You could just buy the stock. This is probably the simplest thing you could do. Then just wait for it to go up and sell when you hit a profit target you’re comfortable with. This is only for stocks we’re long on. For stocks we’re short on, you can short them.
  2. You could buy an option. You know I’m not a fan of speculative plays, but every once in a while it doesn’t hurt to throw a little cash at a speculative option. Of course, while options can move bigtime if the stock goes up… the downside of options is that you have a time limit on how quickly you need the stock to make that move. So think about your risk tolerance and consider buying calls or puts depending on the stock recommendations above.
  3. You could do an income play. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of income plays, because they increase your odds of winning. We do this by SELLING options instead of buying them. If you haven’t tried your hand at income trading yet, I urge you to try this exercise for yourself.

Without risking any money, it will really let you see the power of income trading and why it’s my favorite method.

Whether you end up doing naked puts, covered calls or some kind of spread (like this bull put spread example), income plays like these are really my preferred method to use when I’ve found a great trending stock like the ones on this week’s list.

Because even if the trend comes to an end, you don’t have to be exactly right. With a direction play like buying a call, you have to be exactly right. But an income play gives you a lot more “leeway”, where the stock can move against you and you still have room to breathe and win the trade.

That’s it for now.

Stay tuned, because I’ll be sending you a new list of TrendPoint Best Trending Stocks every week! (usually Mondays)

Trade well,
