“I don’t think it’s down on isolation; lots of things are down today,” Stacy Rasgon, Bernstein senior analyst, told Yahoo Finance in a live interview on Tuesday morning.
Technology () stocks led the market declines, followed by Energy () and Industrials ().
Tuesday’s decline comes less than a week after Nvidia posted that beat consensus estimates but failed to send the stock price higher.
“The print was actually very good. The issue people had on it was not so much the revenue, it was the gross margins. They’re guiding gross margins down a little bit into the end of the year,” said Rasgon.
Nvidia is expected to ramp up production of its next-generation Blackwell chip in the fourth quarter of this year, which could send the stock higher, said Rasgon.
“I think right now people are worried, kind of [treading] water a little bit until those products get into the marketplace,” said RasgonKanpur Stock. “Once they start ramping Q4, Q1 … if that ramp is solid, I expect the stock would probably follow.”
Wall Street remained mostly bullish on the stock following the earnings release, with Stifel analysts reiterating their Buy rating and $165 price target.
