The story
The Aug. 26 session was described as modestly weaker, with investors digesting the Meta ruling and positioning ahead of Nvidia’s earnings. The report did not provide details on the ruling, the market move, or the timing and estimates for Nvidia’s release.
The enrichment shows Meta reported FY2025 revenue of $201.0B, up 22.2% year over year, with a 30.1% net margin and $23.49 diluted EPS. Nvidia reported FY2026 revenue of $215.9B, up 65.5% year over year, alongside a 71.1% gross margin, 55.6% net margin and $4.90 diluted EPS.
The next decisive information is Nvidia’s earnings report, including revenue, margins and forward guidance. For Meta, the ruling’s specific implications and any subsequent legal developments remain the key unresolved details; the supplied report does not establish their financial magnitude.
The two-sided take
Wrong if
A stronger-than-expected Nvidia report or detailed ruling that limits Meta’s exposure would invalidate the cautious setup.
