NVIDIA shares have traded lower this week amid a broader semiconductor pullback, closing near $216.85 on August 20 and hovering around $215 intraday on August 21 as rising Treasury yields weighed on growth stocks. The dominant market-implied probability for a $210–$215 weekly close reflects this momentum and positioning ahead of the August 26 fiscal Q2 earnings release, where consensus expects roughly $92 billion in revenue and $2.09 EPS. Offsetting factors include BMO Capital’s recent Outperform initiation with a $340 price target citing sustained AI infrastructure demand, limited China-specific H200 shipments, and early partnership discussions with Rebellions. These elements sustain trader focus on near-term price action while highlighting the balance between macroeconomic headwinds and long-term AI tailwinds.
