Nvidia (NVDA) will post its first quarter earnings for the 2024 fiscal year next week, with many on Wall Street watching closely as the tech giant led recent rallies in the tech sector. One of the chip giant's competitors, AMD (AMD), has just partnered with Microsoft (MSFT) to offer its products to Microsoft's cloud computing customers. Wedbush Equity Research SVP Matt Bryson and Truist Securities Managing Director William Stein join Market Domination to give insight into what investors should expect from Nvidia's earnings, how AMD stands in the sector, and how investors should navigate the chip sectors. Stein argues that Nvidia's short-term future is most likely successful, but uncertainty mounts down the line: "I think certainly they're going to beat this quarter. And I think they're going to beat in the out quarter guide as well. But I think the real question is what happens through this year and into next year's numbers. Does the company give us an indication that we're going to continue to see growth and very strong demand, both for units and for integrated systems, where the company is getting the growth from?"

As companies continue to surprise with their first quarter earnings reports, delivering better-than-expected results, some investors believe that these beats alone may not be sufficient to sustain market growth. UBS Investment Bank Chief Strategist Bhanu Baweja joins Catalysts to provide insights into market outlooks for growth. Baweja views market upside as "reasonably limited" due to high stock valuations. However, he acknowledges that companies still maintain high margins, staples companies excel, and the earnings picture remains "reasonably robust." Nonetheless, he believes the economy is headed toward "a palpable slowdown," potentially affecting earnings results in the coming quarters. "You could actually see the market going sub 5000 before it rises up again because we do need a reality check in terms of earnings expectations for next year and year after next," Baweja told Yahoo Finance. Baweja notes that markets are currently expecting strong growth due to high earnings coupled with low inflation. While this dynamic was visible in 2023, Baweja cautions that it is not likely to persist. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Catalysts.
