I would wait for both Nvidia earnings and Jackson Hole to clear. Nvidia’s fundamentals remain exceptional, with consensus revenue around $92bn and Rubin potentially becoming the next major growth driver, but expectations are already demanding. A routine beat may not be enough, especially after four consecutive negative post-earnings reactions.


The reported 15%+ server price increases also show Nvidia retaining pricing power despite soaring memory costs, although that could pressure customers’ AI returns.


For me, the better risk/reward is to avoid chasing before two major catalysts. If Nvidia delivers strong guidance and Warsh does not trigger another yield shock, I would add afterwards. Suppliers, especially memory and AI infrastructure names, remain attractive as a secondary way to play the spending cycle.

Nvidia Reclaims AI Narrative — But at What Cost to Gross Margins?
Nvidia's record quarter: revenue $96.221bn, +106% year-over-year and past the ~$93.6bn consensus, data center +117%, gross margin held at 75%. Rubin is accelerating toward full production, with Huang framing AI as the point where compute converts directly into revenue. The catch is memory: Q4 gross margin troughs at 71–72%, three to four points conceded to component costs. Shares +4% after hours, carrying memory, optical and cloud names along. Worth remembering the stock has fallen the day after earnings four quarters running. Does the supply chain rally from here?

    Waiting is fair, but Rubin and pricing power matter more to me than the event risk. The long AI spend cycle still feels like the bigger driver here
