Stock Market Update — Wednesday, August 27, 2025 Equities traded with a measured tone today, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of Nvidia’s earnings release after the close. Despite subdued flows, major indices edged higher, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both notching fresh record highs into the print.
On the session: SPX +0.2% | QQQ +0.2% | IWM +0.7%.
Away From Stocks: The 10Y Treasury yield eased to 4.24%, approaching post-CPI lows, reflecting some demand for duration ahead of key macro catalysts. Commodities were firmer, with gold ticking higher and WTI crude posting modest gains. The DXY reversed early strength to close unchanged, while implied volatility drifted lower with the VIX settling at 14.85.
$NVDA Earnings (FQ2’25): Double Beat, but Data Center Disappoints
EPS: $1.05 vs. $1.01 est. 🟢
Revenue: $46.7B vs. $46.2B est. 🟢
Data Center Revenue: $41.1B vs. $41.29B est. 🔴
Takeaway: Nvidia once again delivered headline beats on EPS and top-line revenue, underscoring resilient demand across its core businesses. However, the slight shortfall in data center sales — its key AI growth engine — may temper near-term enthusiasm, especially given elevated investor expectations heading into the print.
Markets will now focus on forward guidance, hyperscaler capex commentary, and AI infrastructure visibility to gauge whether this miss is a one-off normalization or an early signal of moderating growth momentum.
