Nvidia stock slips ahead of August 26 earnings as investors weigh a $5.094 trillion market value, a 2.10 percent decline to $210.21, and a market that has already priced in a huge second-quarter update.
The stock snapshot on Yahoo Finance also shows a trailing EPS of 6.53 and an earnings date of August 26, 2026, while Reuters said on August 24, 2026, that markets were waiting for Nvidia's results as a key catalyst for the tech sector.
Revenue expectations are huge
Wall Street is looking for second-quarter revenue of $92 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.09, both figures that point to another sharp year-over-year step up after the company's first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion, which was up 85.2 percent from a year earlier.
That first-quarter update also included $75.2 billion of data center revenue, which was up 93 percent year over year and accounted for more than 90 percent of total sales, a concentration that keeps the AI buildout central to the valuation debate.
Guidance sets the bar
Nvidia's own outlook from May 20 called for second-quarter revenue of $91 billion, plus or minus 2 percent, which makes the Street's $92 billion estimate only modestly higher than management's midpoint.
The company also guided for a non-GAAP gross margin of 75.0 percent, plus or minus 50 basis points, a level that matters because even small changes in margin can move absolute profit by billions of dollars at Nvidia's scale.
What the business sells
The company's Blackwell platform remains the most visible product line for investors, and the latest earnings debate is still centered on how quickly AI data center demand can turn into revenue, margin, and cash flow across that chip family.
If the report confirms another quarter of rapid growth, the market will likely focus less on the headline revenue figure and more on how much of the next leg comes from data center chips, networking, and related systems.
Trading at scale
For now, Nvidia stock is trading with a market cap of $5.094 trillion and an EPS base of 6.53, a combination that leaves the shares highly sensitive to any surprise on August 26.
As of August 24, 2026, the quoted price is $210.21 USD.
