This Operating Metric Is Going to Make or Break Nvidia Stock on May 28
If you're just waiting for Nvidia's sales and earnings per share figures, you'll be missing out on the big picture.

One of the most-anticipated days of the second quarter has arrived. Amid a flurry of economic data and President Donald Trump regularly changing his administration's tariff and trade policies, Wall Street's artificial intelligence (AI) darling Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is set to report its fiscal 2026 first-quarter operating results after the closing bell today (May 28).
A lot of investors tend to focus on the bread-and-butter headline numbers, which includes Nvidia's revenue and earnings per share (EPS) for the fiscal first quarter, as well as its second-quarter and full-year guidance. These headline figures often provide an extremely quick way for investors to size up how a company performed and/or will perform moving forward.
But if you're just awaiting Nvidia's sales and EPS figures, you'll be missing the big picture. One beneath-the-surface operating metric is what has the potential to make or break Nvidia stock on May 28.
