Cantor on NVDA: Fourth-quarter guidance coming in lower than estimates and gross margin guidance spooked investors in after-hours trading Muse said in a new investor note.
Muse said there was good and great news from Nvidia in the earnings report and conference call.
"The Blackwell cycle is tracking better than the original ~$3B guide for the January Q and is expected to accelerate much more meaningfully throughout CY25 and beyond with shortages anticipated over the next several Q's amidst ‘staggering demand,'" Muse said.
The analyst said they expect first-quarter revenues to "accelerate more meaningfully," which supports the bull case for $5.50 in earnings per share in calendar year 2025 and the potential for $6 per share.
Nvidia's update at CES, February's expected guidance and the March GTC conference are items the analyst is watching going forward. Nvidia is called a top pick by the analyst.
JPM on NVDA: Third-quarter results were solid and the company's guidance shows strong AI demand, Sur said in a new investor note.
"Blackwell production ramp progressing well and demand outstripping supply through majority of CY25," Sur said.
The analyst said demand for Blackwell is "very strong" and highlighted management's commentary on expectations for Hopper shipments to remain strong into 2025 as well.
"Bottom line, the team continues to maintain a 1-2 step lead ahead of competitors with its silicon/hardware/software platforms, and a strong ecosystem and the team is further distancing itself."
Oppenheimer on NVDA: Third-quarter financial results and guidance were roughly inline with buyside expectations, led by Data Center strength, Schafer said in a new investor note.
"NVDA remains best positioned in AI, benefitting from full-stack AI hardware/software," Schafer said.
The analyst said Nvidia is "the purest scale play" for "AI proliferation." &nbsp;
"We see several structural tailwinds driving sustained outsized top-line growth in high-performance gaming, datacenter/AI and autonomous driving vehicles."
Goldman Sachs on NVDA: The ramp in Blackwell and yield improvements are likely to drive earnings per share growth, Hari said in a new investor note.
The analyst said Nvidia's guidance "only met Street expectations" and comments on gross margin headwinds, but the outlook remains strong for the stock.
"We expect growing demand for AI infrastructure across all customer groups," Hari said.
The analyst also expects improving supply and gross margin normalization to help drive earnings per share growth.
Piper Sandler on NVDA: Nvidia beating third-quarter analyst estimates kept up with recent trends, Kumar said in a new investor note.
The analyst said Nvidia is setting up for strong growth starting in April.
"The key here is that NVDA is going through a product transition with Blackwell ramping and H200 remaining strong," Kumar said.
Nvidia's guidance beats could be higher starting in April, Kumar added.
"All systems go for Blackwell ramp."
Needham on NVDA: The Blackwell ramp is ahead of previous estimates, Bolton said in a new investor note.
The analyst said guidance was below some of the loftier estimates from analysts with third-quarter results well ahead of Needham estimates.
"Management not only silenced the Blackwell overheating rumors, but raised its F4Q Blackwell revenue guide," Bolton said.
The analyst highlighted Nvidia mentioning Blackwell production was full steam ahead while naming customers such as Dell, Oracle, Microsoft, Alphabet and CoreWeave.
"Demand is ‘greatly exceeding supply,' and Blackwell sales for the January quarter are currently on track to exceed previous guidance of several billions of dollars."
Benchmark on NVDA: Third-quarter results had plenty of strength, but the lack of a huge guidance raise left shareholders wanting more and taking profits, Acree said.
"Nothing except the most aggressive beat and raise was likely to keep the market from fairly aggressive profit-taking, which is exactly what happened," Acree said.
The analyst said investors may be getting wary about the longevity of "the AI trade" with Nvidia shares up over 200% year-to-date ahead of earnings.
"The company's performance and outlook appear to be suffering from a "law of large numbers."
Despite Nvidia shares being up over 700% since early 2023 compared to the S&amp;P 500 up 57% over the same time period, the analyst sees long-term value.
"NVDA's shares still represent a compelling value for thoughtful investors willing to look past the near-term noise."
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 1.46% to $143.76 on Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $45.01 to $152.89. Nvidia stock is up 200% year-to-date in 2024.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America.

The drop has wiped out over $120 billion in market capitalization, dragging Alphabet's valuation below the critical $2 trillion threshold.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Selloff? </h3>
The sharp decline follows the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) announcement of sweeping remedies in its high-profile antitrust lawsuit against Google. 
On Wednesday, the DOJ proposed measures aimed at curbing Google's dominance in search and digital advertising, potentially reshaping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42105079/googles-unlawful-behavior-stifles-market-entry-for-rivals-doj-says-alphabet-must-sell-chrome-to-end-search-monopoly">Alphabet&#8217;s core business operations.</a>
The most aggressive recommendation is a requirement for Alphabet to divest Google Chrome, the internet's leading browser with over 60% market share globally. 
Regulators view Chrome as a cornerstone of Alphabet's ability to consolidate its dominance in both search and ad tech markets. This divestiture would mark an unprecedented government intervention into one of the tech giant&#8217;s most integrated and profitable ecosystems.
Other proposals include forcing Google to share search data with competitors, thus leveling the playing field for rival search engines, and to end default search agreements, which make Google the automatic search engine on devices and web browsers like Apple's Safari.
"Google's unlawful behavior has deprived rivals not only of critical distribution channels but also distribution partners who could otherwise enable entry into these markets by competitors in new and innovative ways," the DOJ&nbsp;said in a statement.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s At Stake? </h3>
Alphabet&#8217;s business model relies heavily on the synergies between its services. In the third quarter of 2024, Alphabet&#8217;s &#8220;Search &amp; Other&#8221; segment generated $49.4 billion, accounting for 56% of the company's total revenue for the quarter.
For the full fiscal year 2023, Alphabet reported $307.4 billion in total revenue. The revenue breakdown highlights the scale of Alphabet&#8217;s reliance on search and ad-driven income:
<ul>
<li>Google Search &amp; Other: $175.0 billion</li>
<li>YouTube Ads: $31.5 billion</li>
<li>Google Network: $31.3 billion</li>
<li>Google Cloud: $33.1 billion</li>
<li>Other Revenues: $34.7 billion</li>
<li>Other Bets: $1.5 billion</li>
</ul>
These numbers underline the DOJ's focus on Alphabet's most lucrative business segments. A forced breakup of Chrome, combined with mandated data-sharing and restrictions on default agreements may threaten to erode Alphabet&#8217;s competitive edge and profitability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Take: Google's Strategic Challenges</h3>
Ahead of the DOJ announcement, RBC Capital Markets shared insights from a conversation with Brian O&#8217;Kelley, CEO &amp; co-founder of Scope3 and a seasoned expert in ad tech. O&#8217;Kelley raised critical points about Alphabet&#8217;s future in light of the antitrust case:
<ol>
<li>Open Internet vs. AI: O&#8217;Kelley sees the value of open internet a declining asset since consumers shift toward AI-powered experiences. According to him, &#8220;the DOJ is litigating against the last decade, as opposed to current day looking forward.&#8221;</li>
<li>Chrome's Role: He indicates that Google&#8217;s network business &#8220;isn&#8217;t depending on owning the legacy ad tech assets.&#8221; Even without Chrome, users will continue going to Google.com for search, suggesting that Chrome&#8217;s value may be less critical than it seems.</li>
<li>Regulatory Differences: O&#8217;Kelley highlights stark contrasts in regulatory approaches between Europe and the U.S. While Europe is moving swiftly to ban cookies and enforce stricter privacy rules, U.S. regulation may take longer to materialize, giving Alphabet more time to adapt.</li>

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) has caught traders&#8217; attention thanks to bullish chart patterns, even though price remains flat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/dogecoin-doge-price-prediction">for the time being</a>.

More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1859255908011798821">points</a> out that Dogecoin&#8217;s support lies between $0.25 and $0.34, and after a 3.7% dip over the last week, the correction is almost complete. 
However, the trader anticipates a potential continuation before a breakout above $0.445, which could propel prices to $0.60.
Trader Koala <a href="https://x.com/trader_koala/status/1859382420933579078">takes</a> a cautious yet optimistic stance, calling Dogecoin's chart the "best-looking" and suggesting any pullbacks should be viewed as buying opportunities. 
He sees the only tailwind risk is the elimination of &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency.&#8221;
Crypto analyst Kevin <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1859632545379295449">predicts</a> that the longer the consolidation, the bigger the next leg up, potentially marking the start of Dogecoin&#8217;s largest bull run yet.

IntoTheBlock data shows large transaction volume and daily active addresses increased 41.1% and 34.9%, respectively, in a single day.
