The strongest point for the idea is the fundamental trajectory: Q2 revenue rose 17.9% quarter over quarter to $96.2B with $59.7B in net income, a 75.0% gross margin, and a 66.2% operating margin that sits at the 99th percentile of IT peers. The strongest point against is the ownership picture: the filing for the period ended June 30, 2026 — past its deadline, so this is the most current posture available — shows roughly $569.5M of net open-market insider selling across 36 holders, alongside a 56% sequential drop in free cash flow to $21.4B and debt-to-equity jumping from 0.04 to 0.15. On the trade itself, the RSI/ADX pullback-and-reversal entry never triggered across 60 months and roughly 1,236 daily bars, and the parameter-sensitivity evaluation produced no robust recommendation, so there is no reliably deployable setup in hand today. The verdict would flip toward actionable if the pullback sequence actually forms — RSI (14), now 54.9, dipping to 45 or below near the $220.54 support, then crossing back above 50 while ADX (14) rises above 20 — or, in the other direction, if the next ownership filing shows insiders reversing to net buying. Until one of those happens, the fundamentals argue for holding any existing position while the technical side stays on the watch list.

NVDA closed at $224.61, and the strategy is a long that waits for a pullback with momentum turning back up. RSI (14) is 54.9 — it needs to dip to 45 or below, then cross back above 50 — and ADX (14) is 14.5, below the required 20. Both the trend-strength and pullback conditions are out of range, so this is a waiting setup, not a live signal. What "wait" means concretely: watch for RSI to fall toward the mid-40s on a pullback toward support (nearest at $220.54), then recover above the midline while trend strength climbs above 20. If that sequence forms, the plan is a long with a fixed 2.3% stop, a 4.6% take-profit, an exit if RSI goes above 75, a take-profit near the first resistance at $227.92, and a stop if price crosses above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement. Position sizing caps any single position at 25% of the portfolio with roughly 2.3% risk per trade. For context on the hold-versus-take-profit question behind the idea: Q2 revenue rose 17.9% quarter over quarter to $96.2B, with net income of $59.7B and a 62.0% net margin (down 9.4 points), while free cash flow fell 56% to $21.4B and debt-to-equity jumped from 0.04 to 0.15. The fundamentals remain strong, but the strategy itself only acts on the technical entry sequence. No robust parameter setup was established, so trade the rules as written and let the entry conditions come to you. #### NVDA price and trigger map Uses the idea timeframe and keeps price levels on the price axis. | Measure | Value | | --- | ---: | | Ticker | NVDA | | Timeframe | 1d | ### Why the bull case for holding NVIDIA still has support The bull case for holding NVIDIA rests on the sheer scale of the fundamental trajectory. Revenue reached $96.2B in the quarter ended July 26, 2026 — up 17.9% from the prior quarter's $81.6B — and the fiscal year ended January 25, 2026 posted $215.9B in annual revenue, up 73.2% year over year. That growth rate sits at the 92nd percentile of 897 Information Technology peers. This is not a decelerating story; the most recent quarter is the largest in the company's history. Profitability is equally extreme. The latest quarter shows a 75.0% gross… #### NVDA Debt to equity Debt to equity trend from CommonQuant fundamentals/XBRL data; +173.8% from first to latest point. | Measure | Value | | --- | ---: | | 2020-01-26 | \0.16314323172730252 ratio | | 2020-10-25 | \0.4539585235424547 ratio | | 2021-01-31 | \0.41218256082400995 ratio | | 2021-05-02 | \0.3708852668584212 ratio | | 2021-08-01 | \0.5647609590012768 ratio | | 2021-10-31 | \0.459870577359442 ratio | | 2022-01-30 | \0.4113182023147452 ratio | | 2022-07-31 | \0.459058320405853 ratio | | 2022-10-30 | \0.5129045856948803 ratio | | 2023-01-29 | \0.49558843491244736 ratio | | 2023-04-30 | \0.4467373572593801 ratio | | Latest Value | \0.4467373572593801 ratio | | Change Pct | \173.83137659434826 ratio | | Ticker | NVDA | | Timeframe | reported periods | #### NVDA Free cash flow Free cash flow trend from CommonQuant fundamentals/XBRL data; -97.2% from first to latest point. | Measure | Value | | --- | ---: | | 2010-01-31 | $410206000 | | 2011-01-30 | $577907000 | | 2011-05-01 | $141005000 | | 2011-07-31 | $58698000 | | 2011-10-30 | $205382000 | | 2012-01-29 | $770421000 | | 2012-01-29 | $365336000 | | 2012-04-29 | $-38131000 | | 2012-07-29 | $138942000 | | 2012-10-28 | $136801000 | | 2013-04-28 | $109983000 | | 2013-07-28 | $11483000 | | Latest Value | $11483000 | | Change Pct | $-97.20067478291396 | | Ticker | NVDA | | Timeframe | reported periods | #### NVDA sector percentile check Ranks NVDA against 832 companies in its sector using CommonQuant fundamentals. | Measure | Value | | --- | ---: | | Free cash flow | \99.51923076923076th percentile | | Operating margin | \99.3325917686318th percentile | | Revenue growth (YoY) | \92.3076923076923th percentile | | Gross margin | \79.20298879202988th percentile | | Ticker | NVDA | | Sector | Information Technology | | Peer Count | 832 | ### Scores - **Conviction score breakdown:** 51 - **Thesis support:** 70 - **Trade readiness:** 35 - **Risk quality:** 55 - **Trigger proximity:** 30 - **Fundamentals trend:** 65 ### Watch items - **NVDA — RSI (14)** - **NVDA — RSI (14) re-cross of 50** - **NVDA — ADX (14)** - **NVDA — Close vs first resistance** - **NVDA — Nearest support** - **NVDA — Insider ownership filing** - **NVDA — Dividend ex-date** ## Key details - Symbols: NVDA - Timeframes: 1d - Tags: \#canonical-demand, \#cluster-version:1, \#direction:unspecified, \#entity-kind:company, \#entity:NVIDIA CORP, \#exchange:NASDAQ, \#horizon:unspecified, \#intent:research, \#symbol:NVDA ## Community - Upvotes: 0 - Views: 0 - Copies: 0 - Cosigns: 0 ## Related ideas - [Night movers — Sep 28: Overnight rotation: chipmakers split as 737 MAX certification delay and Meta hire steer th](https://commonquant.ai/research/for-you/night-movers-sep-28-overnight-rotation-chipmakers-split-as-7--cbddf1ef-25f6-5ca6-a082-35959b26f891) ## Related - [NVDA trade ideas](https://commonquant.ai/markets/nvda) - [Latest market news](https://commonquant.ai/news) ## About CommonQuant Research Ideas and Advanced Analysis are generated with fresh, LLM-selected news headlines and grounded in SEC XBRL fundamentals and peer percentiles.
