I obviously could not comment on a company that competes with mine, but the first two were in-bounds.&nbsp;&nbsp; All three beat their consensus EPS estimate \u2013 some quite handily \u2013 but all are lower this morning even as markets are modestly higher.&nbsp; I consider this an ominous sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most jarring example is ARM.&nbsp; EPS was $0.36, 20% above the $0.30 estimate; revenues came in at $928 million, well above the $880.4 expectation.&nbsp; That was the sort of result that should have encouraged AI-focused investors.&nbsp; But instead, they chose to harp on \u201cdisappointing\u201d guidance.&nbsp; Mind you, that guidance was itself a short-term positive and at worst a longer-term push.&nbsp; Revenue guidance for the June quarter is $875-$925 million, well ahead of the $868 average estimate; EPS guidance for that quarter is $0.32-$0.36, also comfortably above the $0.31 consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, so good, right.&nbsp; The nitpicking regards the 2025 guidance.&nbsp; Earnings should be OK.&nbsp; Guidance was for $1.45-$1.65, putting the midpoint above the $1.53 consensus.&nbsp; The problem, such as it is, comes from revenues.&nbsp; Those should be $3.8-$4.1 billion, putting the midpoint at $3.95 \u2013 thus below the $4.01 bn estimate. &nbsp;This would represent 26% growth over 2024 expectations, but no matter.&nbsp; When a company is priced to perfection, there is essentially no room for error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse, have we seen the return of the dreaded \u201cwhisper number\u201d?&nbsp; This was a feature during the high-flying internet era.&nbsp; Investors had an extra set of expectations above and beyond those published by analysts.&nbsp; A company could beat its numbers and get punished anyway, mainly because those extra expectations were bolstering premium valuations.&nbsp; This sounds all to similar to what we\u2019re seeing this cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes me nervous, especially ahead of Nvidia\u2019s (<span class=\"stock-ticker\" data-stock-ticker=\"NVDA\">NVDA<\/span>) earnings on May 22<sup>nd<\/sup>.&nbsp; We have come to expect that NVDA will beat expectations, raise guidance, then beat those raised expectations next quarter.&nbsp; This creates an amazing virtuous cycle, one that has benefited investors immensely.&nbsp;&nbsp; But even that stock had quarters that led to modest selling after beating and raising.&nbsp; Sure, the stock rose 16.4% after its last report, but it fell -2.5% in the prior quarter and was essentially unchanged in the quarter before that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is too early to say whether there is indeed a \u201cwhisper number\u201d for NVDA\u2019s next report.\u00a0 But it would be concerning if there was even the slightest whiff of concern about a slowdown in the growth rate of AI investment.\u00a0 Notice I said slowdown <em>in growth<\/em>.\u00a0 It is premature to think that the cycle itself might be coming to an end.\u00a0 Yet in light of <a href=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampusdev.wpengine.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/options\/zuck-says-the-quiet-part-about-ai-aloud-plus-msft-and-goog\/\">Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s comments<\/a> during that company\u2019s post-earnings conference call, implying that it could take years for Meta Platforms\u2019 (META) AI investments to pay off, it seems logical to expect some easing of the rapid pace of that spending as companies figure out how to get AI to improve their bottom lines.\u00a0 That\u2019s what happened in the early days of the internet.\u00a0 It\u2019s more of a speed bump than a wall, but NVDA and many of its peers are not priced for speed bumps.\u00a0 Keep your ears wide open for the whispers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investors have been all too quick to punish companies who deliver EPS beats but miss on another metric.
