Nvidia Pullback Sets Up Feb. 25 Earnings Test as Investors Debate Valuation

Investors are weighing a near-term buy case against the possibility that future AI demand is already reflected in the share price.

Overview

  • Nvidia shares have retreated from their October 52-week high of $212.19 during a 2026 reassessment of AI exposure.
  • The company is slated to report fiscal fourth-quarter results on Feb. 25 for the quarter that ended Jan. 25.
  • Recent momentum remains strong, with fiscal Q3 revenue up 62% year over year to $57.0 billion and data center sales up 66% to $51.2 billion as CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell sales are off the charts and cloud GPUs are sold out.
  • The Motley Fool contends the pullback presents an opportunity to buy before earnings while cautioning that five-year returns could be ordinary if high expectations are already baked in.
  • The analysis cites aggressive 2026 capital spending plans from Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet as a signal that hyperscalers continue building AI capacity that relies on GPUs.
