AI Summary

Summary

  • Author warns against buying NVDA calls or puts into the earnings report, claiming the move will be muted (~±1.2%) and options will likely expire worthless.
  • Thesis is not directional: earnings will neither disappoint nor surprise, so option buyers are paying too much for an expected move that won’t happen.
  • Quality assessment: Speculation/noise, not well-researched DD. The author explicitly states no insider info and provides no concrete data beyond a generalized expectation of a small move.

Author expects NVDA earnings to be in-line with no major upside or downside surprise, producing only a ~1.2% move. Option premiums into earnings are priced for larger moves, so buying either calls or puts likely has negative expected value. Avoid buying NVDA options around the earnings event; do not pay premium for a move that probably will not materialize. A guidance surprise or CEO commentary could spark a much larger move, or the stock could finally break out/dump as commenters suggest.
