Meanwhile, another SA author, Muhammad Umair, is very bullish on the stock ahead of its earnings: “The stock price is exhibiting robust growth ahead of the earnings, having developed a bullish technical pattern, and is poised to surge during the earnings announcement.”
- Consensus EPS Estimates: $3.39
- Consensus Revenue Estimates: $16.09B
- Earnings Insight: Nvidia has beaten revenue estimates in 8 straight quarters, missing EPS expectations only twice in that timeframe.

Deere & Company (DE)
Deere & Company (DE) is slated to report its Q4 earnings before the bell on Wednesday.

It has received a Buy rating from Wall Street Analysts and a Strong Buy recommendation from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating system.
“Investors are concerned about Deere’s cyclicality and downturn history, but the stock has consistently recovered. The upcoming earnings report may reveal declining order books and softening demand, despite strong demand in North America,” writes SA author Luca Socci.
