Nvidia is set to report its second-quarter earnings this week, and all eyes are on how ongoing U.S.–China trade friction is affecting its business.
China in Focus: About 13% of Nvidia’s revenue comes from China. New restrictions—including a U.S. deal requiring Nvidia to pay 15% of its Chinese chip sales as a condition for export licenses—are under scrutiny. Chinese regulators, citing security concerns, have reportedly discouraged purchases of Nvidia’s H20 AI chip. Analysts estimate these tensions could shave $8 billion from quarter revenue.
Investor Sentiment & Market Expectations: Despite geopolitical headwinds, Nvidia’s AI chip demand remains strong. Revenue is expected to reach $46 billion, with continued high demand from data centers and tech giants supporting the forecast.
Broader Market Significance: Nvidia’s earnings are seen as a bellwether for the entire AI-driven tech sector. Any hint of slowdown in China could ripple across global markets, while resilient performance could reinforce confidence in the AI boom.
