gorodenkoff/iStock via Getty Images Synopsys ( SNPS ) shares had slid 2% after reporting its first quarter fiscal 2026 financial results and guidance post-market on Wednesday. Despite its first-quarter results showing a 65% year-over-year revenue surge, its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue guidance midpoint was slightly below expectations. For the quarter ended January 31, the electronic design automation company reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.77 versus the consensus estimate of $3.56. GAAP EPS was $0.34 compared to the $0.30 estimate. Revenue for the first quarter surged 65% year over year to $2.41B, which was more than the $2.39B estimate. The revenue gain was led by its design automation segment, which nearly doubled year over year to $2B. Looking ahead to the second quarter, Synopsys expects revenue to range from $2.23B to $2.28B, which completely clears the $2.22B estimate. It sees EPS ranging from $3.11 to $3.17, which is also more than the $3.07 estimate. The company reiterated its full-year fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $9.56B to $9.66B, with a midpoint of $9.61B just below the $9.63B estimate. It also increased its adjusted EPS to range from $14.38 to $14.46, up from $14.32 to $14.40. The estimate calls for $14.35. "Synopsys enters 2026 with an expanded portfolio, leadership positions across the business, and the most compelling roadmap in our history," said Sassine Ghazi , president and CEO of Synopsys. "AI continues to fuel robust system-level and semiconductor R&D, and the increasing AI capabilities throughout our portfolio strengthen our strategic advantage and accelerate our customers' innovation." Synopsys' board of directors also approved a replenishment of the existing stock repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $2B of common stock.

Chipmaker Nvidia forecast first-quarter revenue above market estimates on Wednesday, betting on Big Tech's unabated spending on its artificial intelligence processors amid widespread scrutiny of massive AI investments.

Investors are looking to Nvidia's results to gauge whether the hundreds of billions of dollars that Big Tech is pouring into data center infrastructure are paying off.

Nvidia Corp. , the world’s most valuable company, gave another bullish quarterly revenue forecast, signaling that the massive build-out of AI computing remains on track.

Nvidia Corp. , the world’s most valuable company, gave another bullish quarterly revenue forecast, signaling that the massive build-out of AI computing remains on track. Fiscal first-quarter sales will be about $78 billion, the chipmaker said in a statement Wednesday. That compares with an average Wall Street estimate of $72.8 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute — the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth,” Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said in the statement. The outlook helped soothe concerns about a bubble in AI investments. Huang has repeatedly downplayed fears that the run-up in spending on artificial intelligence hardware isn’t sustainable. He argues that it will take years to replace the world’s installed base of older computers with machines that offer a leap forward in productivity. But some investors had grown weary of that optimism and traded out of stocks like Nvidia. Wednesday’s report provides some evidence that near-term worries may be overblown. Nvidia shares, among the 10 worst-performing chipmaker stocks this year, rose about 1% in extended trading following the announcement. Nvidia is the dominant seller of accelerator chips, processors designed to handle the huge amounts of data needed to create artificial intelligence models. The semiconductors are also used to run the software — a stage known as inference — when it carries out tasks in response to real-world inputs. Nvidia has branched out into general-purpose processors, networking and full computer systems, giving it an even greater hold on customers.

Orla/iStock via Getty Images These Charts Are Popular But Flawed With all equity indices (ranging from large-cap, such as DJI , SP500 , and NASDAQ, to small-cap RTY ) hovering around record levels in 2026, these following charts (or some other variations of them) have become increasingly popular, judging by their appearances in my inbox. In the off chance that you are seeing them for the first time, the first example is taken from Lazy Portfolio, and the second one is taken from LPL Financial . These examples vary in some details, but the essence is the same. The signal they are meant to send—at least under the context I’ve seen how they were used—is quite simple: good years of SP500 returns (which are what we’ve experienced or are experiencing now) are followed by bad years. And this signal is so visually convincing from these charts. In the first chart, you can see a clear—and - and negative – correlation between the SPY ETF’s subsequent 10-year returns and its previous 10-year returns. Given that SPY has returned about 12.2% per annum in the past 10 years at the price of this writing (as highlighted by the dotted blue line), the chart indicates the return potential for the next 10 years will be quite disappointing. With a P/E variation as shown in the second chart, the correlation is equally clear, and the projected return is even more depressing with the S&P 500's current P/E ratio hovering around 29.70x, as seen. Seeing these charts increasingly reminds me of the quote from Mark Twain: “It isn't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just isn't so." Investors who decided to go against the S&P 500 based on these charts have suffered miserably. Given the latest macroeconomic developments to be detailed next, I feel it is especially timely to A) point out that they are—or the above interpretations are—fundamentally flawed, and B) explain why these charts can be particularly misleading for 2026.

Nvidia press release ( NVDA ): Q4 Non-GAAP EPS of $1.62 beats by $0.08 . Revenue of $68.13B (+73.2% Y/Y) beats by $1.9B . Record quarterly Data Center revenue of $62.3 billion, up 22% from Q3 and up 75% from a year ago Record full-year revenue of $215.9 billion, up 65% “Computing demand is growing exponentially — the agentic AI inflection point has arrived. Grace Blackwell with NVLink is the king of inference today — delivering an order-of-magnitude lower cost per token — and Vera Rubin will extend that leadership even further,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Enterprise adoption of agents is skyrocketing. Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute — the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth.” During fiscal 2026, NVIDIA returned $41.1 billion to shareholders in the form of shares repurchased and cash dividends. As of the end of the fourth quarter, the company had $58.5 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization. NVIDIA will pay its next quarterly cash dividend of $0.01 per share on April 1, 2026, to all shareholders of record on March 11, 2026. NVIDIA’s outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 is as follows: Revenue is expected to be $78.0 billion, plus or minus 2% vs consensus of $72.03B. NVIDIA is not assuming any Data Center compute revenue from China in its outlook. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are expected to be 74.9% and 75.0%, respectively, plus or minus 50 basis points, inclusive of a 0.1% impact from stock-based compensation expense. GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be approximately $7.7 billion and $7.5 billion, respectively, inclusive of $1.9 billion of stock-based compensation expense. Shares +1.58% .
