ETFs to Buy After NVIDIA's Q1 Earnings Miss, Record Revenues

NVIDIA NVDA reported mixed first-quarter fiscal 2026 results. Though the AI darling lagged earnings estimates, it reported record-breaking revenues, which topped estimates. NVIDIA shares jumped as much as 6% in after-hours trading. Investors seeking to tap the company's growth could invest in ETFs having the largest allocation to the AI chipmaker. Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF SHOC, VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF SMH, VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF SMHX, YieldMax Target 12 Semiconductor Option Income ETF SOXY and Columbia Select Technology ETF SEMI could be compelling options. The company's earnings per share were 81 cents for the first quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents and up from 61 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. This marked an end to nine straight quarters of earnings beats. Revenues surged 69% year over year to a record $44.1 billion and beat the consensus mark of $42.70 billion. The impressive performance was largely driven by a booming data center business. The blockbuster results were driven by incredible demand for NVIDIA's latest AI chips. Data Center revenues, which account for much of NVIDIA's revenues, jumped 73% year over year to $39.1 billion (read:NVIDIA Reclaims $3 Trillion: ETFs to Bet On).The gaming division also performed strongly, with revenues climbing 42% year over year to $3.8 billion. This growth was bolstered by the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, which features NVIDIA's chips and AI-powered DLSS technology supporting up to 4K gaming. NVIDIA's graphics processing capabilities, historically focused on gaming, are now increasingly used in AI applications, highlighting the broadening utility of its automotive and robotics segment saw a 72% revenue increase, reaching $567 million.

The company introduced Isaac GR00T N1 — the world's first open humanoid robot foundation model — and outlined plans to deepen its involvement in robotics demand for NVIDIA's artificial intelligence (AI) chips, especially for large cloud providers and AI supercomputing, continues to surge. NVIDIA is building factories in the United States and working with its partners to produce AI supercomputers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said, "Countries around the world are recognizing AI as essential infrastructure – just like electricity and the internet – and NVIDIA stands at the center of this profound transformation." Its chief financial officer, Colette Kress, said that Microsoft has 'deployed tens of thousands of Blackwell GPUs and is expected to ramp to hundreds of thousands' of the company's GB200 product, due largely to its partnership with is also accelerating its global expansion. It recently announced plans to build AI factories in the United States and Saudi Arabia and launched the Stargate UAE AI infrastructure cluster in Abu Dhabi. Furthermore, NVIDIA has expanded collaborations with major cloud providers, including Oracle, Google, and Microsoft.

NVIDIA Reclaims $3 Trillion: ETFs to Bet On

Amid the latest rally brought in by trade talks optimism, NVIDIA NVDA reclaimed $3 trillion in its market cap by surging 50% from its April low. A strategic partnership with a state-backed Saudi Arabian AI company also drove the stock higher.

The United States and China have agreed to substantially roll back tariffs on each other's goods for an initial 90-day period. Under the agreement, the United States will reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will lower its tariffs on American imports from 125% to 10%. This development alleviated investor concerns about escalating trade tensions and their potential impact on technology companies like NVIDIA (read: Tap Mag-7 ETFs on Temporary US-China Trade Truce). The two firms revealed plans to build next-generation AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The agreement, unveiled as President Trump began a four-day tour of the Middle East, involves NVIDIA supplying several hundred thousand advanced GPUs over the next five years to an AI subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. The partnership will begin with the deployment of a supercomputer powered by 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 chips. In a major policy shift, reports indicate that the Trump administration is considering lifting export restrictions on AI chips to the UAE — a move that could authorize shipments of over one million NVIDIA units. The development will significantly broaden the AI chipmaker's market reach and help reduce exposure to regions impacted by U.S.-China tensions, positioning the company for sustained international growth (read: AI ETFs Set to Gain on Robust Meta, Microsoft Earnings).

Pre-Markets Open in The Red

Pre-market futures are still in the red at this hour, but threaten to break out into positive territory compared with where we were overnight. We're also bifurcated presently: -40 points, roughly, on both the Dow and S&P 500, but -260 points on he tech-heavy Nasdaq. A report that NVIDIA NVDA will take a $5.5 charge on its H20 AI chips that were believed to be headed to China. The ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China has snuffed this out — news reports refer to this as being 'curbed' — and sent NVIDIA shares down -6% in pre-market trading. AMD AMD is doing even worse, Broadcom AVGO a bit better — but still all down. We remain at the mercy of trade tariff policy for the foreseeable future, and this goes for plenty of economic reports for last month, as well. To wit, U.S. Retail Sales for March reached +1.4% on headline, 20 basis points (bps) ahead of expectations. Ex-autos, +0.5% is a strong showing, even if it is still -20 bps below the big upward revision to February's number. Ex-autos and gas swung up to +0.8% last month, equalling the upward revision for the previous month (which itself was ratcheted up 30 bps) and the strongest month since September 2024's +1.2%. The Control number, which feeds other economic data like PCE (which comes out at the end of this month), was a bit weaker, relatively: +0.4%, from the upwardly revised +1.3% for February. At a glance, these figures all seem to be U.S. companies getting ahead of the tariffs, which began two weeks ago today, April 2nd. Remain unconvinced? Check auto parts deliveries last month, which rose +5.3%. This resembles more a year-over-year number than a month-over-month one. Perhaps we'll need to compare these figures to the coming months, but it stands to reason we see a 'pull-forward' in this data. Q1 earnings season continues to heat up. Major insurance provider and Dow component The Travelers TRV posted a strong beat in its Q1 earnings ahead of the opening bell: $1.91 per share was nearly +200% stronger than the 64 cents in the Zacks consensus. Revenues of $11.87 billion, however, came in -2.17% from estimates. Shares are up +2.5% on the news, adding to the stock's +3.6% year to date. Abbott Laboratories ABT beat on its Q1 earnings by 2 cents to $1.09 per share, while missing slightly on its top line: $10.36 billion versus $10.42 billion expected. Better performance in its Pharma and Nutrition space were offset somewhat by lower numbers from its Diagnostics segment. Shares are down marginally, but still up more than +10% year to date. U.S. Bank USB keeps the train of big banks reporting earnings this week, notching slight beats on both top and bottom lines: earnings of $1.03 per share on $6.96 billion in revenues outpaced expectations by +4% and +0.6%, respectively. Shares are up +1.4% in today's pre-market, but still have a long climb back from -17% year to date. Swedish auto parts provider Autoliv ALV posted strong beats for both earnings and revenues in its Q1 report this morning, beating on earnings per share by +25% and +4.25% on quarterly sales. Again, we sense some 'beat the tariffs' trading going on with these figures, but shares are up +8% ahead of the regular session, making up a good chunk of its -12% level year to date.
