Tom Lee Says Nvidia Just Broke Wall Street's Most Unusual Pattern
Nvidia (NVDA) rose 8.74% after reporting record revenue of $96.2B, up 106% YoY, and guiding $108B for the next quarter. Analyst Tom Lee noted this is unusual, as the stock typically falls post-earnings. However, gains were short-lived, with a 4.57% drop the next day. Lee attributes the initial surge to funding issues and a low PE ratio. Some analysts remain skeptical due to supply constraints and political risks.
