Nvidia posts strong quarter, AI-driven stock picks surge in August

Nvidia Corp. reported quarterly revenue of $96.22 billion, exceeding the $91.90 billion consensus and more than doubling from the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $2.22 versus a $2.08 estimate, while adjusted gross margin expanded to 75%, up 250 basis points year-over-year. The company guided to third-quarter revenue of $108.0 billion, a 2% range around the midpoint that also surpassed the $105.16 billion forecast.

Shares of Nvidia, valued near $5 trillion, initially slipped 1.5% in after-hours trading following the Wednesday release before rebounding around 6% in pre-market activity. The stock trades at 32.5 times trailing earnings with a beta of 2.22, according to InvestingPro’s quantitative models, which estimate a fundamental fair value of $260.05.

InvestingPro’s ProPicks AI stock-picking tool, launched in November 2023, has delivered a real-world return of 193.73% since inception, outperforming the S&P 500 by 112.53 percentage points over the same period. As part of a summer promotion, InvestingPro subscriptions are being offered for less than $8 per month, representing up to 55% off the standard rate.

August’s top performers in the ProPicks AI portfolio included Mativ Holdings with a 41.24% gain, followed by Ramaco Resources at 38.5%, Marvell at 30.68%, Peabody Energy at 28.56% and Gartner at 27.77%. Earlier in the year, closed-out AI selections such as Siemens Energy (+231.5%), SanDisk (+189.1%) and Victoria’s Secret (+113.6%) contributed to the platform’s cumulative outperformance.
