After the close today, Nvidia (NVDA) reported fourth quarter earnings of $1.32 a share (versus analyst projections of $1.22) and revenue of $7.6 billion (versus expectations for $7.42 billion). As of 4:45 the stock has trading down $1.09 in the after-hours market. In my opinion that’s likely a result of a big run up in the stock before earnings. The stock gained 11% from February 11 through the close today, February 16. From January 27, a low in the recent downturn in Nvidia shares, to today’s close the shares are up 21%.

Traders and investors look to be anticipating a big earnings beat from Nvidia after competitor Advanced Micro Devices delivered good news in its earnings report. The Wall Street consensus is that Nvidia will report $1.01 a share for the quarter, up from 64 cents a share in the year earlier period. But the course of the stock after earnings is likely to have more to do with news, if any, on a chip that Nvidia announced at the January 2022 Consumer Electronics Show.

As I noted in my latest YouTube video, selling has been concentrated in the highest PE stocks in the market. The top 10% of the stocks in the Russell 1000 index when ranked by Price to Earnings Ratio were down 7.8% for 2022 as of January 6, according to Goldman Sachs. Not that the rest of the stock market has been sending rose petals our way so far in 2022, but the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was down just 1.8% for 2022 as of January 7. The NASDAQ 100 is down 4.8% for 2022 as of January 7–which speaks to the same point.So far, the selling is really a blip for most of the market. But it is serious for technology shares and especially high PE technology shares. So now the question is “Will the selling spread?”

With the VIX “fear index” falling back closer to “normal” levels–it dropped to 21.89 yesterday from 31.12 on December 1–it sure feels like the extreme volatility of the end of November and early December is on the ebb. The move to yesterday’s 21.89 close from December 1 was was a surge of 30% in the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index in a week. This move away from panic follows on a jump in the “fear index” in the week from November 24 to December 1 of 67% in the opposite direction. I’d be surprised if we don’t see another surge in volatility in the rest of December or in January with what promises to be a crazy earnings season, but even if volatility holds at something like today’s level–slightly elevated from the historical averages but in the rough ballpark–don’t forget that volatility has a long tail. Volatility, in fact, creates volatility. And not least of all in individual stocks.

Here we go again. It’s not that we really have any more information about the Omicron Variant–we certainly don’t know what its effects will be on global economic acuity–but just as fears that the Covid-19 variant would send the world back into lockdown crushed stocks last week, this morning, December 7, a belief that Omicron won’t be all that bad has taken root and stocks are soaring in morning action.

Today, December 2, the Federal Trade Commission sued to block Nvidia’s (NVDA) $40 billion acquisition of ARM. “The FTC is suing to block the largest semiconductor chip merger in history to prevent a chip conglomerate from stifling the innovation pipeline for next-generation technologies,” Holly Vedova, director of the commission’s Bureau of Competition, said in the statement.
