Nvidia Signals Robust Demand Despite September Market Weakness

Given Nvidia's projected growth and its historical outperformance in September, investors may monitor its positioning relative to the broader market's seasonal tendencies. The sustained demand for infrastructure, as signaled by Nvidia's outlook, continues to be a key theme impacting semiconductor and cloud computing sectors.

Based on reporting from yahoo-tickers-tape-movers.

Nvidia's stock has historically defied the typical September market downturn, with CEO Jensen Huang signaling strong future demand. Despite the "September Effect," where the S&P 500 has averaged a 1.1% decline, Nvidia has shown resilience, gaining in seven of the last ten Septembers. Huang's outlook suggests continued growth driven by AI infrastructure, though supply constraints remain a factor.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock has historically bucked the trend of the "September Effect," a period characterized by an average 1.1% decline in the S&P 500 since 1926. In contrast, $NVDA+WL has seen positive returns in seven of the past ten Septembers, with a median gain of approximately 1.5%. This resilience suggests that fundamental company performance, particularly in AI, may overshadow seasonal market headwinds.

Chief Executive Jensen Huang recently provided a forward-looking signal, projecting that Nvidia expects revenue to grow around 70% in its fiscal year 2028, which commences on January 31, 2027. However, management indicated that even this robust forecast may not fully capture the extent of demand for its AI platforms, citing limitations in component supply chains as a constraint on fulfilling this demand. In its most recent fiscal second quarter, Nvidia reported revenue of $96.2 billion, marking a 106% year-over-year increase, with $89 billion attributed to its data center segment. The company's gross margins were 74.67% in the latest reported quarter, with an expectation they may decrease to around 75% in the fiscal third quarter.

AI chips

Nvidia usually does well in September even when the rest of the stock market struggles, thanks to massive demand for its artificial intelligence chips. Experts care because its strong growth forecast shows that the tech boom is still going, though factories are working hard to keep up with orders.

What changed

CEO Jensen Huang projected strong long-term revenue growth and highlighted sustained high demand for AI platforms despite typical September market weakness.

Who wins / who loses

Semiconductor and AI infrastructure leaders benefit from high demand, while slower-moving competitors and component suppliers facing bottlenecks may struggle to keep pace.
