Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is gearing up to report its fiscal third-quarter results on Nov. 19, and expectations couldn't be higher.

After a brief pullback earlier this year -- sparked by President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement and renewed competitive pressure from China -- the artificial intelligence (AI) leader may be setting the stage for another explosive rally.

Blackwell demand is off the charts

Nvidia's newest Blackwell and Blackwell Ultra architectures -- designed to succeed the market-dominant Hopper series -- represent a major leap forward in computing performance. The GB200 and GB300 GPUs are purpose-built for large language models (LLMs), inference workloads, and next-generation AI applications in robotics and autonomous systems that enterprises are racing to deploy.

Orders for Blackwell systems remain exceptionally strong, fueled by cloud hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet, as well as tech titan Meta Platforms, all of which are integrating Nvidia GPUs into their rapidly expanding AI clusters.

Beyond the hyperscalers, Nvidia has forged major partnerships with companies including CoreWeave, xAI, and OpenAI, each building dedicated GPU clouds and supercomputers to train increasingly complex AI models. Even enterprise customers like Oracle and Dell are embedding Nvidia's new systems into turnkey infrastructure solutions.

With such broad-based, diversified demand, Nvidia enjoys a level of revenue visibility that's exceedingly rare in the historically cyclical semiconductor industry -- underscoring its dominant position at the heart of the AI revolution.

AI infrastructure spending is accelerating

Global AI infrastructure buildouts are in full swing, and Nvidia sits firmly at the center of this movement. Industry forecasts from management consulting firm McKinsey & Company suggest that AI data center spending could reach $7 trillion by the end of the decade -- spanning GPUs and networking hardware to the massive energy systems required to power model training and inference workloads.

Naturally, the hyperscalers are leading the charge -- with big tech collectively expected to invest nearly $500 billion in AI infrastructure next year alone.

Yet the demand doesn't stop there. AI compute needs are rapidly expanding beyond the hyperscalers -- reaching start-ups, research labs, and even sovereign customers. Notably, countries across the Middle East are launching their own versions of Project Stargate -- signing multibillion-dollar agreements for Nvidia-powered data centers to accelerate their domestic AI and technology ambitions.

Valuation still has room to expand

At roughly $4.5 trillion in market capitalization, Nvidia now stands as the world's most valuable company. Yet, its earnings trajectory still fuels extraordinary optimism. Analysts expect earnings per share (EPS) to surge by more than 70% over the next two years -- a pace of growth almost unheard of for a company already generating hundreds of billions in annual revenue.

Despite its massive scale, Nvidia trades at roughly 40 times forward earnings -- a valuation that could be argued as surprisingly reasonable given the company's growth profile, dominant market position, and structural advantages.

Nvidia boasts a gross margin exceeding 70%, unmatched pricing power, and a software ecosystem moat refined over decades of developer adoption and CUDA integration. If the company once again delivers record-breaking results and raises guidance when it reports on Nov. 19, the stock could easily rerate higher as investors recalibrate expectations.

With accelerating GPU shipments, expanding enterprise partnerships, and unrivaled leadership across AI and compute workloads, Nvidia appears well positioned to extend its rally into 2026 and beyond.
