Here's how Nvidia stock has historically performed after earnings: Chart of the Day Jared Blikre Mon, May 18, 2026 at 4:00 PM GMT+7 2 min read NVDA For Nvidia (NVDA) investors, the first move after earnings has historically been only part of the story. Buying the stock just before quarterly results has produced modest short-term gains, but the longer-term picture has been much stronger.
This chart shows the difference clearly.
Since 2016, Nvidia’s post-earnings returns have been positive across every holding period studied. But the edge has been far more modest over the next day, week, or month than over a quarter or a year. The median gain has been only 0.3% after one day, 3.3% after one week, and 0.4% after one month. That rises to 11.1% over one quarter and 87.6% over one year.
