Nvidia Reports Strong Q2 Earnings, But September Performance History Raises Questions
In its fiscal second quarter of 2027 (ended July 26), Nvidia reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 106% to $96.2 billion and diluted earnings per share rose by 128% to $2.46, both exceeding Wall Street expectations. The results have driven an 8% rise in the stock since its announcement on August 28. As a leading AI enterprise, Nvidia continues to see strong demand for its data center chips. However, historical trends suggest September may be historically weak for the S&P 500 and similarly for Nvidia shares, with average declines of 1.3% and 0.8%, respectively, over the past decade (2016–2025). Despite this pattern, analysts note that fundamental business momentum could still support strong stock performance. Investors are advised to focus on long-term growth rather than short-term volatility. Over five years, Nvidia shares have surged 901%, and sell-side analysts project continued revenue expansion at a 58% annual rate through fiscal 2029.
