Morgan Stanley mentioned in a Tuesday report that Nvidia “should see a strong quarter in line with recent increases to expectations” and that “focus should shift to new products.”

“With the stock up over 50% [year-to-date] already, we aren’t looking for an immediate strong reaction to positive results, but we don’t expect a selloff either. Our investor conversations are mostly with clients constructive on the stock but worried about near term expectations being too high, which usually creates a benign setup,” mentioned Morgan Stanley analysts.
