Nvidia is back in the spotlight this week as it prepares to report earnings. Sales of its Blackwell chips are likely to be the key variable as the market gauges how long the chip maker will dominate the artificial-intelligence hardware market.

Nvidia shares are in the spotlight ahead of the AI darling’s quarterly results later this week and following a report that the company’s next-generation Blackwell chips have encountered issues overheating in servers.

Quarterly results from AI-leader Nvidia greet a stock market grappling with uncertainty about the Fed's interest rate plans and the impact of president-elect Donald Trump's potential policies.

Nvidia has bested lofty Wall Street revenue expectations for the past eight quarters. But as analysts expect a slower pace of growth, how the company overcomes delays and supply chain issues to sell its latest AI chips is likely to be a barometer for its stock price.

Blackwell GPUs are overheating when connected in custom server racks, according to a report from The Information.

Nvidia reports earnings after the bell on Wednesday. The focus will be on how quickly it can ramp up Blackwell sales in the face of any technical challenges.
