Overall, the survey shows the sentiment heading into the print is largely bullish.

Nvidia is set to release its second-quarter earnings for fiscal 2025 after the market closes on Aug. 28, with investors closely awaiting confirmation for continued growth in the data center segment and any updates regarding delays in the launch of the new Blackwell AI chip.
Wall Street analysts, according to Visible Alpha, estimate that Nvidia's revenue will rise to $28.84 billion, more than doubling from the same quarter last year.
