We count on Nvidia’s income to return in at $15.9 billion, marginally forward of the consensus estimates and about 2.6x above final 12 months’s quantity. Nevertheless, this may be barely beneath the corporate’s steerage of about $16 billion. We count on earnings to return in at roughly $3.21 per share, marginally forward of consensus estimates.
