Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) received bullish signals from Wall Street analysts as it heads into its fiscal second-quarter (Q2) earnings expected after Wednesday’s closing bell. 

According to a CNBC report, JPMorgan’s Harlan Sur emphasized that cloud giants and hyperscalers have boosted capex forecasts for Q2 2025, an indicator of improving AI fundamentals. 

“We believe near-term AI fundamentals are strong, driven by strong hyperscale capex spending. This trend is evident in the upward revision in capex during the Q2 2025 earnings season by the cloud/ hyperscale companies, and the strong results/guidance telegraphed by other AI beneficiaries (e.g., MTSI, ALAB, AMD).” 

Nvidia stock traded over 1% higher on Monday afternoon. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the stock remained in ‘bullish’ territory amid ‘normal’ message volume levels.
