$NVDA is going to crush earnings.
Everyone knows this. That’s the problem.
None of us are going to be surprised by good numbers. The question isn’t whether they beat. It’s the second derivative. How much is already priced. How many people already hold the stock.
Semis have outperformed software. The stock has been rallying into the print. Ownership is crowded.
And option players aren’t piling into calls ahead of the report.
That part matters. When there’s no aggressive call buying into an earnings event on one of the most liquid names in the world, it tells you something about where risk appetite actually sits.
Look at the rest of the Mag 7. Most reported well. Market had a knee-jerk higher. Then faded.
Same setup here.
Mean reversion after the dust settles looks sensible — even if the numbers are quite good.
One caveat: If everyone de-risks before the report, the crowded-ownership thesis weakens.
Structure over conviction. Always.

I said last Fall that when Cathie Wood re-appeared on CNBC this AI bubble was doomed. Shortly thereafter her funds collapsed. Again. There was no reason that her funds rallied all the way back and then spontaneously exploded.
