Earnings are a crapshoot. Just because they are good doesn't
mean stock will be up and when they're bad, the stock won't
necessarily be down. It's just the way it is - been
watching earnings since the 90's.
Yep, you are right DigiNomad. I am a 90's guy, too. 200% rev
growth for Sept Q (at midpoint) is the data point I care about for
NVDA. Call is just starting. Lets see if they say anything about
the alleged blackwell pushout. Charlie Liang is so frickin hard to
understand.
Charlie appeared to just confirm the Blackwell pushout. Further
update: Blackwell pushout is a "normal" event w "new technologies"
(new chips). Guidance is conservative. Maybe there will be an
opportunity for NVDA at the 2024 YTD AVWAP ~$89.50.

The problem I see with these companies lofty valuations is not
that they won't be great companies going forward. It's just that
this quarter has been an oh shit, look at that CAPEX number quarter
across the board so far. These guys are on the receiving end of
those oh shit CAPEX numbers (in a good way) but the reaction by the
market will likely force CAPEX down except for the few who have a
reasonable path to monetizing the spend. The quickest way to
monetize AI is to use it to replace humans and you can see how that
cycle plays out in the medium term. We're in a tricky spot.
To summarize - I can see why the market might call BS on
Charlie's forecasts.
SMCI burns cash, and has crappy margins. that's why the stock's
getting faded. Still, the upward revenue guidance remains a
positive for AI in general. Q&A starting now.
