All eyes are on Nvidia\u2019s quarterly earning results Wednesday evening amid a stock market that\u2019s seeing increasingly jittery movements in technology companies over recent weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That comes as many investors have seen significant growth from stocks and other investments tied to artificial intelligence in recent years, but also amid a lot of volatility in the sector tied to the earnings results of these companies \u2014 and the sky-high expectations some investors have for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d say this started out with the launch of ChatGPT as sort of the first consumer-facing AI tool. It has risen meteorically on the investor landscape, and they are making extraordinarily large investments into AI as they see it\u2019s the future,\u201d says James Price, a portfolio manager with MBP Sterling Partners at RicharsonWealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI has really been front and foremost for investors and for driving market returns over the last couple of years, but probably more importantly, really driven it over the last several months.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

The S&P 500 is coming off a four-day losing streak, its longest in nearly three months, and has been shaky because of worries that\u00a0stock prices have shot too high\u00a0and that the\u00a0U.S. Reserve\u00a0may not deliver as many energizing cuts to interest rates as earlier expected.<\/p>\n

Nvidia is one of a handful of big technology companies specializing in the design and manufacturing of hardware for complex computer systems and data centres, including semiconductor chips used in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

With AI\u2019s rapid development in recent years, Nvidia has seen a surge in demand for its chips and data centres. As of publication, Nvidia is the world\u2019s most valuable company worth just under US$5 trillion in market valuation. That\u2019s more than Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet and Amazon.<\/p>\n

Nvidia has seen most of its market valuation accumulated over just the past few years, and has climbed about 35 per cent in the past six months as of publication.<\/p>\n

Because of its valuation, its movements have more of an effect on the S&P 500 than any other stock, and it can single-handedly steer the index\u2019s direction some days.<\/p>\n

With such rapid growth, many experts have been questioning whether there is an AI \u201cbubble.\u201d<\/p>\n

These shareholders will likely be looking for any signals from Nvidia that it is continuing to see the kind of growth consistent with the past few months and years, or if things are starting to slow down.<\/p>\n

This is where things can get jittery in terms of the performance of the stock.<\/p>\n

Many investors, including Canadians with retirement portfolios, likely have some money in equities like stocks \u2014 which can change in value quickly depending on many factors. This can include how the company performs over time, which may trigger buying or selling of the stock.<\/p>\n

For instance, if investors don\u2019t like what they see in Nvidia\u2019s results, they may sell their stock in the company. This can change the price for shares because it is based on supply and demand.<\/p>\n
