Barclays Upgrades Bank of Nova Scotia to Equal-Weight, Raises Price Target to C$81

NVIDIA Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) experienced a 2.36% decline in pre-market trading on Thursday, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro,</a> despite surpassing Wall Street expectations in its third-quarter earnings. 
What Happened:&nbsp;The chipmaker reported a 94% year-over-year increase in revenue, reaching $35.1 billion, exceeding the anticipated $33.12 billion. Additionally, the company&#8217;s earnings per share were 81 cents, surpassing the projected 75 cents.
Despite these strong financial results, investor concerns arose due to a slowdown in sales compared to previous quarters.&nbsp;Derren Nathan,&nbsp;head of equity research at&nbsp;Hargreaves Lansdown, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/nvidia-nvda-stock-slumps-despite-q3-earnings-beat.html">told</a>&nbsp;CNBC&nbsp;that the drop in NVIDIA&#8217;s stock price suggests that &#8220;even&nbsp;outstanding isn't enough for some&nbsp;investors.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This also comes at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42094649/nvidia-stock-historically-drops-in-december-after-q3-earnings">seasonal statistics have revealed </a>that December has historically been a challenging month for Nvidia investors. The semiconductor giant of Jensen Huang often enters a temporary bearish phase following its third-quarter earnings report. Historical data indicates that while NVIDIA frequently delivers positive third-quarter earnings, December tends to be a negative month for its stock.
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42102642/nvidia-delivered-jaw-dropping-q3-earnings-says-dan-ives-this-is-the-fourth-revolution-playing-out-in-front-of-our-eyes">described the results as a "jaw-dropper," </a>emphasizing the transformative potential of the company's AI technology. "This is the fourth revolution playing out in front of our eyes," Ives told CNN, <a href="https://x.com/jchatterleyCNN/status/1859386289315053838" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">highlighting</a> the broader implications for the tech sector.
