Nvidia (NVDA) Is Expected to Earn $6.2B in Revenue from China in Q1
Chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) is expected to bring in $6.2 billion in revenue from China in the first quarter, which would make up more than 14% of its total sales, according to Bloomberg estimates. This figure covers the period ending January 26, before the U.S. banned sales of Nvidia's H20 chips to China in April. Since China is one of Nvidia's most important markets, investors are closely watching to see what the company says about how the ban could impact future sales during its earnings report on Wednesday.
Confident Investing Starts Here:
While Chinese revenue is expected to grow 150% year over year, revenue from the U.S. is projected to grow by 60% to $21.6 billion, with total revenue estimated at $43.3 billion. Unsurprisingly, CEO Jensen Huang called the U.S. export ban 'deeply painful,' saying that it cost Nvidia $15 billion in lost sales and forced the company to write down $5.5 billion worth of unsellable inventory. That write-down will also lower Nvidia's gross margins for the quarter. Still, investors are hopeful that the company's new Blackwell AI chips and a recent deal with Saudi Arabia can help lift the stock after the earnings report.
In addition, analysts from Bank of America and Stifel expect Nvidia to slightly beat earnings expectations for the first quarter, but warn that guidance for the next quarter may be more cautious because of the China ban. Meanwhile, competition from China's Huawei is growing, and Singapore, which is Nvidia's second-largest market, is expected to generate $6.9 billion in revenue this quarter. Interestingly, some of that may be linked to chip smuggling, with DA Davidson estimating that Chinese firms might still make up 20%–40% of Nvidia's total end customers.
Is NVDA a Good Stock to Buy?
Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on NVDA stock based on 32 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average NVDA price target of $164.21 per share implies 21.3% upside potential.

US, China trade row could ease after Trump-Xi talks: Treasury chief
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that President Donald Trump could speak with China's Xi Jinping "very soon," and that such a call could help break the logjam in the trade talks between the world's two biggest economies. Trump on Friday accused Beijing of violating a deal reached last month in Geneva -- negotiated by Bessent -- to temporarily lower staggeringly high tariffs they had imposed on each other, in a pause to last 90 days. China's slow-walking on export license approvals for rare earths and other elements needed to make cars and chips have fueled US frustration, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday -- a concern since confirmed by US officials. But Bessent seemed to take the pressure down a notch, telling CBS's "Face the Nation" that the gaps could be bridged. "I'm confident that when President Trump and Party Chairman Xi have a call that this will be ironed out," Bessent said, however noting that China was "withholding some of the products that they agreed to release during our agreement." When asked if rare earths were one of those products, Bessent said, "Yes." "Maybe it's a glitch in the Chinese system. Maybe it's intentional. We'll see after the president speaks with" Xi, he said. On when a Trump-Xi call could take place, Bessent said: "I believe we will see something very soon." Since Trump returned to the presidency, he has slapped sweeping tariffs on most US trading partners, with especially high rates on Chinese imports. New tit-for-tat levies on both sides reached three digits before the de-escalation this month, where Washington agreed to temporarily reduce additional tariffs on Chinese imports from 145 percent to 30 percent. China, meanwhile, lowered its added duties from 125 percent to 10 percent. In an interview with ABC's "This Week," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said China was "slow-rolling the deal," adding: "We are taking certain actions to show them what it feels like on the other side of that equation." "Our president understands what to do. He's going to go work it out," Lutnick said. sst-gl/md

Bessent says US will never default as Congress faces deadline
(Bloomberg) — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US 'is never going to default' as the deadline for increasing the federal debt ceiling gets closer. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months 'That is never going to happen,' Bessent said in an interview for CBS's Face the Nation scheduled to air Sunday. 'We are on the warning track and we will never hit the wall.' Republican congressional leaders have attached an increase in the debt limit to President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill, which potentially puts avoiding a default at the mercy of complex negotiations over the legislation. The US Senate returns this week to take up the bill. Bessent declined to specify an 'X date' — the point at which the Treasury runs out of cash and special accounting measures that allow it to stay within the debt ceiling and still make good on federal obligations on time. 'We don't give out the 'X date' because we use that to move the bill forward,' Bessent said. Last month, Bessent told lawmakers that the US was likely to exhaust its borrowing authority by August if the debt ceiling isn't raised or suspended by then. Wall Street analysts and private forecasters see the deadline falling sometime between late August and mid-October. Bessent also pushed back against a warning by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon that a crack in the bond market 'is going to happen.' 'I've known Jamie for a long time, and for his entire career he's made predictions like this,' he said. 'Fortunately none of them have come true.' 'We are going to bring the deficit down slowly,' Bessent said. 'This has been a long process, so the goal is to bring it down over the next four years.'
