Nvidia (NVDA +0.64%) isn’t just any stock. And May 20 isn’t just any date.
With a market cap of $5.3 trillion, Nvidia ranks as the largest component in the S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.16%). The GPU maker holds considerable sway over how the overall market performs. That’s especially the case for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. May 20 is an important date for Nvidia because it’s when the company is scheduled to announce its fiscal year 2027 first-quarter results after the market closes.
Nvidia’s stock could make a big move by May 20. Here are three things smart investors are doing now.

1. Remaining disciplined rather than chasing momentum
Nvidia’s guidance projects Q1 revenue of $78 billion, plus or minus 2%. The consensus Wall Street view is for the company to deliver revenue of roughly $78.8 billion with adjusted earnings per share of $1.77. Based on its track record, Nvidia is likely to beat these expectations.
Investors appear to be anticipating good results from Nvidia. The GPU stock has rebounded from a recent pullback and is now hovering around its all-time high. If Nvidia reports exceptional Q1 numbers and, more importantly, provides a surprisingly bullish outlook, its shares could surge following the quarterly update.
