NVIDIA video chips on the motherboard
Meanwhile, by the end of the market, Nvidia is expected to report third-quarter adjusted earnings of $ 1.57 per share of $ 2.91 billion in revenue, according to analysts polled by Bloomberg.
Nvidia's gaming segment will be in focus. Sales in the segment have accelerated, as a number of new games using chipmaker technology have boosted Nvidia's sales of graphics processing units (GPUs). Analysts' project gross margins rose 62%, while operating margins are expected to have jumped 33%.
Although Nvidia is expected to report a solid third quarter, investors will be hyper-focused on fourth quarter guidance and projections for the company's PC gaming and data center businesses.
Shares of Nvidia have increased by 57% in 2019.
