What would change the picture for NVDA

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

  • The 2026-11-17 earnings report (31 days away). Nvidia Corp beat estimates in 4 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise +3.4%); a miss would break that pattern.
  • Insider buying: none on the open market in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months, and it would show up on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
  • Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.26 to 4.28 over three months (1 = strong buy, 5 = strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
  • Price levels: a close above $239.24 would be a new 52-week high (+11.7% from here); a close below $164.79 would be a new 52-week low (-23.0%).
  • Growth: revenue changed +83.4% year over year in the quarter ending Jul 2026 (trend: accelerating). At a P/E of 27.1, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
  • New shares: dilution risk is low now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How NVDA compares with its peers

Over the past month NVDA ranks 3 of 6 in this group (-2.4%); the best was MSFT (+6.3%) and the weakest AVGO (-5.2%).

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio
Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.
Form 4
The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.
Open-market trade
A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.
Form 13F
A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.
Dilution
When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.
52-week high / low
The highest and lowest daily closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days).
Analyst consensus
The average of Wall Street analysts' ratings (strong buy to strong sell). Analysts skew positive, so a hold is often read as a cautious view.
