Bet on NVIDIA's Solid Q2 With These ETFs

After the closing bell yesterday, NVIDIA NVDA cheered investors with strong second-quarter fiscal 2020 results. The graphics processors maker’s both earnings and revenues trumped the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The solid performance suggests that business is back on track with a revival in demand for graphics chips and parts used in data centers. As a result, shares of NVIDIA rose about 7% following the earnings announcement in after-hours trading.

Earnings per share came in at $1.24, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9 cents but declining from the year-ago quarter of $1.94. Also, revenues dropped 17.4% year over year to $2.58 billion but outpaced the consensus mark of $2.55 billion.

NVIDIA expects revenues of approximately $2.90 billion (+/-2%) for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. While the company has been penetrating newer growth areas, such as data centers, artificial intelligence and self-driving cars, its key business remains selling chips that enhance video game graphics (see: all the Technology ETFs here).

NVIDIA currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and an unattractive VGM Score of D. It falls within a bottom-ranked Zacks industry (bottom 39%).
