By Dan AmossPosted May 25, 2022

We noted in our buy alert earlier this month that investors might sell NVDA ahead of the company’s May 25 quarterly report in anticipation of management cutting revenue guidance. But we also wouldn’t be surprised if NVIDIA’s popular CEO reignites enthusiasm for the stock.
