Nvidia Poised for Strong Quarterly Results, Outlook, UBS Says

Nvidia (NVDA) is likely to post strong fiscal second-quarter results and issue an upbeat sales outlook as Vera Rubin begins to ramp, UBS Securities said Friday.The brokerage raised its second-quarter earnings outlook for the chipmaking giant to $2.13 a share from $2.09 and its revenue estimate to $93.55 billion from $91.91 billion. UBS projects third-quarter revenue in a range of $107 billion to $108 billion."Blackwell is holding stable, with Rubin units starting to layer in ahead of what should be a more substantial revenue step-up in (the fourth quarter), as Rubin sell-in accelerates toward (roughly 500,000 graphics processing unit) units/month and Blackwell starts to wind down," UBS analysts Timothy Arcuri and Natalia Winkler said in a note to clients Friday.Vera Rubin is Nvidia's next-generation artificial intelligence computing platform designed for large-scale agentic AI and advanced reasoning workloads.In a note to clients earlier this month, BofA Securities said it expected Nvidia to deliver a second-quarter revenue beat and issue an upbeat guidance amid Vera Rubin shipments and "solid" cloud capital expenditure trends.Recently, Amazon.com (AMZN) increased its full-year CapEx guidance, while Meta Platforms (META) raised the lower end of its own outlook range for the metric. Microsoft (MSFT) said it anticipated CapEx in its fiscal 2027 to increase year over year, while Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) indicated rising AI capital spending."Because the vast majority of hyperscaler CapEx increase this year is due mostly to memory price inflation, compute supply growth is even further from keeping pace with demand," Acuri and Winkler said Friday. "This is ultimately bullish for (Nvidia) and as a result, we may hear about another significant stair-step in backlog on this earnings call."Earlier this week, Nvidia signed memorandums of understanding with six major financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs (GS), BlackRock (BLK), Blackstone (BX) and KKR (KKR), to raise more than $500 billion in third-party capital for the development of AI infrastructure.UBS expects this to help address "demand durability concerns by unlocking substantial infrastructure capital, underscoring both the financeability of AI compute and the strength of (Nvidia's) ecosystem."The company's shares were little changed in Friday afternoon trade. The stock has jumped nearly 21% so far in 2026.Coming out of Nvidia's upcoming earnings call, UBS expects investors to gain "greater confidence" in a path to EPS of more than $15 in 2027 and $20 in 2028 -- "numbers that should keep the stock grinding higher," the analysts wrote.The technology bellwether company is scheduled to report results Aug. 26.Price: $225.37, Change: $+0.07, Percent Change: +0.03%

Nvidia Partners With Major Financial Firms to Raise Over $500 Billion for AI Infrastructure

Nvidia (NVDA) shares rose early Tuesday after the chipmaker said it partnered with six major financial institutions to raise more than $500 billion in third-party capital for the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure.The tech bellwether signed memorandums of understanding with Apollo (APO), BlackRock (BLK), Blackstone (BX), Brookfield (BN), Goldman Sachs (GS) and KKR (KKR) to establish independent compute financing platforms, it said late Monday.Nvidia's stock increased 1.2% in the most recent premarket activity.Nvidia said it intends to work with the six companies to create dedicated pools of capital at "significant scale" to finance the buildout of AI infrastructure across its frontier AI labs, enterprises and AI clouds. The financing platforms will help turn compute and full-stack AI infrastructure into an investable asset class and support long-duration, usage-linked revenue, the chipmaker added.The financial terms of the partnerships, which are subject to final agreements, weren't disclosed."We are bringing the world's leading long-term capital providers together to independently underwrite AI infrastructure," Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said in a statement. "These financing platforms will help customers access scarce compute at scale and build the DSX AI factories that will power every industry and country in the age of AI."Nvidia said demand for AI infrastructure is accelerating as governments and businesses ramp up investment in AI."Modern compute has emerged as a scarce, mission-critical asset class with compelling investment characteristics that is positioned to drive significant long-term economic growth and productivity gains," Apollo President Jim Zelter said.Last month, Nvidia agreed to expand its partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group with a more than $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative.Technology giants are raising capital to support AI buildouts. Intel (INTC) on Monday said it plans to raise $15 billion from a common stock offering to support capital expenditures as demand for artificial intelligence computing remains strong. The chipmaker on Tuesday upsized the offering to $20 billion.In an emailed client note on Monday, BofA Securities said it expects Nvidia to deliver a fiscal second-quarter revenue beat and issue upbeat guidance amid Vera Rubin shipments and "solid" cloud capital expenditure trends. The company is scheduled to release its latest financial results later this month.

Most US Banks Beat Earnings Forecasts Amid Favorable Revenue Trends, Raymond James Says

Most reporting banks in the US have beaten earnings forecasts for the second quarter, driven by favorable revenue trends, Raymond James said in a report Monday.Some 66% of the 430 publicly traded banks have topped earnings-per-share estimates, said Raymond James' analysts, who used Friday as the cutoff date for their analysis. The banking industry reported a 74% beat rate in the first quarter and 77% in the year-ago period.Median revenue grew 3.9% quarter over quarter, up from 0.6% growth in the prior quarter but down from 4.9% a year earlier. Net interest income and fee revenue growth accelerated sequentially, but slowed year on year, according to the note."While elevated macro uncertainty continues to linger, asset quality remains broadly favorable," Raymond James said.Earlier in the month, big banks JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Morgan Stanley (MS) beat second-quarter expectations, driven by investment banking and trading gains."With most 2026 outlooks largely reiterated and core fundamental drivers intact, consensus estimates continue to possess an upward bias, with a net 38% of 2026 estimates raised and a net 19% of 2027 estimates raised," Raymond James' analysts wrote.S&P 500 companies' second-quarter earnings growth reached 70%, driven by the information technology sector, where profits nearly tripled year on year, Oppenheimer Asset Management said Monday. The financials industry has seen earnings rise by 31% and revenue grow 17% annually.
