It was announced on Friday that NVIDIA would be fined a sum of $5.5 million by the SEC. The fine is for providing inadequate disclosures to its shareholders about how many graphics cards were actually sold to cryptocurrency miners. The allegations are from NVIDIA’s 2018 financial reports and essentially caused NVIDIA’s sales numbers to be artificially inflated by the boom of crypto mining. The SEC claims this would have made investing in NVIDIA riskier than it would have been if the company was clear about benefiting from sales to crypto miners.
NVIDIA stock forecast
The recent earnings from AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) have catapulted the company to the top of the list for tech stock picks amongst analysts. The 71% growth in sales was impressive and the completion of its acquisition of Xilinx has helped AMD excel in new markets like automotives and 5G mobile networks. AMD is rolling right now, and if NVIDIA doesn’t report earnings that can compare to AMD, we could see its stock take a tumble when it reports.
