Nvidia Faces a High Bar: Earnings Hype Meets Open-Source AI Narrative

Ahead of Nvidia’s earnings, markets are priced for a strong show, but the stock has often fallen after earnings in recent quarters. Analysts say a valuation rerating will likely hinge on a new narrative—NVIDIA’s potential leadership in open-source AI and on-device inference—rather than earnings numbers alone, with UBS projecting potential EPS of over $15 in 2027 and $20 in 2028 if that AI thesis takes hold, even as Nvidia has recently outperformed the S&P 500 and faces continued valuation pressure.

IBM shares plunge after weak preannouncement, worst drop since 1968

IBM’s stock closed down more than 25% after a preannounced earnings miss: adjusted EPS of $2.93 on revenue of $17.2 billion versus estimates of $3.02 and $17.86 billion. IBM cited a shift in customer spending toward AI servers and memory amid a global memory shortage, with z17 mainframe headwinds contributing. The decline, IBM’s worst since at least 1968, comes as rivals like Oracle and Accenture struggle as well; IBM will host its earnings call on July 22.

Stifel trims Microsoft target as Azure margin drag deepens into FY27

Stifel lowers Microsoft’s price target to $400, warning that Street FY27 gross-margin estimates don’t fully reflect Azure-driven margin compression and ongoing cloud capex. The firm models FY27 gross margins around 63% (about 450 bps below the consensus 66.5%), with Azure margins near 47.5% still dragging overall margins by roughly 300 bps YoY due to mix shift. Higher operating expenses and finance lease costs could keep FY27 EPS about $1 below Street expectations (roughly $18.5–$19 vs. ~ $19.5).

UnitedHealth Stock Dips as Goldman Sees 2026 EPS Path On Track
